This three-star mission, as long one of the missions was completed, one could get 100 thousand points. The difficulty and level of danger could be seen.
It was on a completely different level than the one-star and two-star missions previously.
Ye Yuan was merely a Grotto Profound Realm martial artist. Wanting to challenge such a high difficulty mission as soon as he came up, his astonishment could be imagined.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “That’s right, this is it. I’ll have to trouble Senior Apprentice Brother to give me the coordinates of the Sky Foothill World.”
“Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, it’s your first time taking part in a training mission, you might not know the difficulty of three-star missions! This number eight mission, over 5000 students have done it in the past. The majority of them were all middle-stage, Heaven Glimpse, late-stage, even grand completion powerhouses. But the ones who came back in the end were less than 10%! Among the 10%, those able to complete the mission were even fewer!”
That student was warmhearted too, worried that Ye Yuan did not know the danger and urged earnestly with good intentions.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother, for cautioning. I’ll be careful.”
That student opened his mouth but did not say anything.
This Junior Apprentice Brother Ye never seemed to do things according to the convention.
Missions that other people avoided like the plague, he was eager to go.
More importantly, Ye Yuan was too weak currently!
Even if Ye Yuan’s strength was superior, far surpassing same-rank martial artists, his realm was too low after all.
He did not even enter the inner-court and want to challenge a three-star mission. Wasn’t this somewhat overestimating his own ability?
“Alright, since Junior Apprentice Brother Ye insists on going, then you’ll have to be more careful. Entering a small world to train, the most important thing is to protect yourself. Missions and whatnot are second.” That student reminded him again.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “That is, of course. I don’t wish to court death too.”
That student nodded and said, “The number eight mission’s information is already stored in your academy token. You can go back and study it well. But you have to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath right now, to absolutely not reveal the mission’s information for others to know.”
Ye Yuan nodded his head slightly, swearing a Heavenly Dao Oath on the spot.
Each small world was a treasure trove and also a precious resource of Wu Meng Capital City. They naturally did not allow it to be leaked out.
Watching Ye Yuan leave, that student’s face revealed a puzzled look and muttered, “This Junior Apprentice Brother Ye really exceeds all expectations. It’s just that this three-star mission is a little too dangerous. He’s my Wu Meng Academy’s future, hope that he’ll be fine.”
Right at this time, another figure walked in.
That student’s expression changed and he hurriedly saluted and said, “I pay respects to Elder Qin!”
He was secretly alarmed. Elder Qin Tianning was one of the few existences whose status was second only to the academy head. Normally, he was in closed-seclusion and rarely appeared.
Why did he suddenly show up today, and even came to the Merit Hall?
He suddenly thought of the Ye Yuan who just left and could not help becoming fearful in his heart.
Elder Qin wouldn’t be here aiming for Ye Yuan, right?
Qin Tianning snorted lightly, considered to have acknowledged it, and said coolly, “What mission did Ye Yuan draw just now?”
That student’s expression changed and he said awkwardly, “Elder Qin, this … The missions that students draw are strictly confidential. This … isn’t complying with the rules!”
Qin Tianning’s brows furrowed and he said with a cold snort, “This old man is an Elder Association’s member. Is it confidential even from me? If you don’t wish to stay in the academy, just say it straight. This old man will send you out tomorrow!”
That student’s expression changed and he said fearfully, “Elder Qin is mis-mistaken! The mission that Ye Yuan drew was … was the number eight mission on the three-star jade pillar, the coordinates are …”
Qin Tianning nodded slightly and said, “Mn, that’s more like it! You don’t think too much. This matter … was personally ordered by City Lord, His Excellency. If you let a third person know, the consequences … you know it!”

1411 Heavenly Dao Rejection
“Qin Tian, have you thought it over? This mission that Ye Yuan chose isn’t simple. It’s said that the strongest person in that Sky Foothill World’s Sky Foothill Divine Palace is a grand completion Origin Deity powerhouse! Once your outsider identity is exposed, you’ll suffer endless pursuit!”
Inside a Wu Meng Academy’s secret room, Qin Tianning and Qin Tian sat opposite each other. Qin Tianning warned Qin Tian with a solemn look.
When Qin Tianning learned that what Ye Yuan was carrying out was the Sky Foothill World’s mission, he got a shock too.
The difficulty of the Sky Foothill World’s mission, he was aware. The mortality rate was very high.
Ye Yuan, a newcomer, actually challenged such a dangerous world. It was seriously out of his expectations.
Along with it, he also became somewhat worried about Qin Tian’s safety.
Qin Tian was the Qin Family’s number one genius, the only candidate for the next family head.
If some accident happened to him, the Qin Family could not bear it.
However, Qin Tian had a decisive appearance as he said calmly, “Ye Yuan already became my mental demon. Not killing him, I may never be able to step into the Divine Lord Realm in this life!”
Qin Tianning was deeply aware of the terror of mental demons and said with a nod, “It’s too bad that Origin Deity Realms can’t enter the Sky Foothill World. Otherwise, their identities will be revealed very quickly and suffer the Sky Foothill Divine Palace’s pursuit. Entering the Sky Foothill World, everything can only be up to you!”
Qin Tian nodded and said, “I have a score in my heart! Ye Yuan’s greatest reliance is that late-stage two-star evil spirit and sword maneuvering flight. After entering the Sky Foothill World, there isn’t the Heavenspan World’s spatial suppression and I can fly too! At that time, all the things he relies on don’t exist at all in front of me! However I want to kill him, I’ll kill him!”
Although Qin Tian hated Ye Yuan but was not a reckless person.
If there isn’t absolute certainty, he would not take this risk.
After all, in Qin Tian’s view, his life was much more valuable than Ye Yuan’s.
He, Qin Tian, was an existence who would step into Divine Lord Realm in the future.
While Ye Yuan was destined to be a wisp of a deceased soul under his sword!
…
At Sky Foothill World’s borders, above the void, a majestic World Locking Gate slowly manifested itself.
A tiny figure shuttled out of the World Locking Gate, stopping above the vast sea.
“I really didn’t expect that the Heavenspan World still has Stable Wind Needle, this kind of divine artifact, capable of moving freely in a spatial storm! Back then, If I were to have such a magic treasure, why would I be injured so miserably?”
The one who came through the World Locking Gate was precisely Ye Yuan.
Before he came, he got two divine artifacts called Stable Wind Needle from a teacher in the academy’s Artifact Refining Hall.
Using this Stable Wind Needle to shuttle back and forth in a spatial storm, one could actually shield against those violent spatial turbulent flows, letting him arrive at the opposite short safe and sound.
This involuntarily made Ye Yuan recall the scene of escaping by a hair’s breadth in the spatial storm back then.
If he had this Stable Wind Needle in his hands back then,
it would not be to the extent of being so miserable either.
“The Heavenspan World’s artifact refining methods are what the small worlds’ people cannot imagine. But Stable Wind Needle, this thing, is strictly controlled in the hands of capital cities, this level of forces. Once discovered in the outside world, they will immediately be sentenced to capital punishment! The Stable Wind Needle is just a one-time consumable. You’ll only be given two when you’re carrying out the mission to avoid it falling into outsiders’ hands,” Dustless said.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Looks like I need to get more of those divine artifacts. Otherwise, it will really be quite troublesome to want to search for the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone in the future.”
While talking, a series of air bubbles suddenly emerged in the ocean.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Several hundred fish-shaped monsters came out of the water, pouncing crazily towards Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan’s brows furrowed. His aura surged, rippling out.
Puu, puu, puu …
Those fish-shaped monsters’ bodies directly exploded into clouds of blood mist under this terrifying undulation.
“Mere Tier 9 demonic beasts also dare to attack me. Really overestimating your own ability!” Ye Yuan said disdainfully.
But right at this time, another three fish-shaped monsters came out of the water!
These three auras were clearly much stronger compared to those previously. It was shockingly a rank one divine beast!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Three streaks of sword light burst forth without any signs, akin to a squall, shredding those three monsters into pieces without the slightest sluggishness.
“Senior, what’s going on? I didn’t provoke them!” Ye Yuan said helplessly.
Ye Yuan was just standing there quietly and did not provoke anyone, but these fierce beasts unleashed attacks at him without heed for their lives. This made Ye Yuan very perplexed.
“Back then, when those fiend race powerhouses entered the Immortal Grove World, they suffered Immortal Grove Heavenly Dao’s repulsion. Now, you’re the outsider to the Sky Foothill World! Those fierce beasts’ intelligence has yet to be unlocked. Their actions are entirely based on instincts and are the most sensitive to external forces,” Dustless said.
Ye Yuan felt his head swell and he said, “Doesn’t that mean that I’ll be exposed very easily?”
Dustless nodded and said, “That’s right! The aura on your body is incongruous with Sky Foothill World’s Heavenly Dao. Deity Realm powerhouses can identify it very easily. Furthermore, the stronger the attacks you exhibit, the stronger the Heavenly Dao’s suppression! If not because of this, this mission’s death rate naturally wouldn’t be so high either.”
Ye Yuan fell silent. He had really never considered this problem before.
But now, it became a very troublesome matter.
The Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones, this kind of precious natural treasure, would probably be monopolized by the Sky Foothill Divine Palace. No matter how careful he was, it was also impossible to avoid their investigation.
Those trial-takers who entered in the past were all late-stage Heaven Glimpse powerhouses. There were even powerhouses at Qin Tian’s level.
But their auras were too obvious. Once they clashed with the Sky Foothill Divine Palace’s powerhouses, it was basically no return.
Hence, that was why this mission was designated as a three-star difficulty mission.
Ye Yuan said helplessly, “Senior, could it be that there’s no way?”
Dustless shook his head and said, “Forget about you, even Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove enters a small world, he’d be rejected by Heavenly Dao too! Unless, you can obtain this Sky Foothill World’s Dao Fruit, or, you can be like with the Immortal Grove World, obtaining this Sky Foothill World’s Heavenly Dao’s recognition.”
Ye Yuan could not help losing all hope when he heard that. This way, wanting to obtain the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone was really bleak!
Ye Yuan fell silent, falling into hard thinking.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, giving rise to enlightenment in his heart.
Ye Yuan’s figure moved, directly vanishing above the sea.
When he appeared again, he already arrived in an enormous forest.
Ye Yuan searched for an open space, sat down cross-legged, and started revolving the Chaos Heavenspan Canon, communicating with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain.
No idea how long had passed either, Ye Yuan’s body suddenly emitted a sacred aura. The World Suppressing Stele flew straight out of Ye Yuan’s body, suspending above his head.
A pale-white light halo poured down, enveloping Ye Yuan’s body.
Seeing this scene, Dustless’s entire body involuntarily shuddered, his gaze revealing astonishment.
“This kid is really too talented! To be able to achieve this step, there’s probably only him alone since time immemorial, right?” said Dustless who was shocked to the core.
Chapter 1412. Bai Chen |
1412 Bai Chen
After a long time, the milky-white light halo dissipated. Ye Yuan slowly opened both eyes, his eyes revealing a look of excitement.
“It really worked!”
The current Ye Yuan already completely could not feel the Sky Foothill Heavenly Dao’s rejection any longer!
“You, how did you think of it? To actually think of using the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain to imitate the Sky Foothill Heavenly Dao’s aura!” Dustless exclaimed.
“Heh, small worlds are created by martial artists. Their Heavenly Dao is naturally born from the Heavenspan World’s Heavenly Dao too. Since that’s the case, the parent body imitating the child body’s aura shouldn’t be hard. Therefore, I tried communicating with the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. Didn’t expect that it really worked,” Ye Yuan said with an excited look.
Dustless was speechless. This boy would frequently have some whimsical ideas. Even he was endlessly amazed.
This time, it clearly succeeded again until it shocked him.
With the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain protecting him, however vast this Sky Foothill World, it was free for him to roam!
Even if Origin Deity Realm powerhouses stood in front of him, they could not recognize him either.
Ye Yuan’s mind stirred, the Deity Realm powerhouse aura on his body gradually faded away.
Very soon, the Martial Dao aura on Ye Yuan’s body completely disappeared, looking just like an ordinary person.
Ye Yuan was confident that unless he encountered Origin Deity Realm powerhouses, otherwise, nobody could see through him.
Want to integrate into this world, it was better to be more low-profile.
Actually, the Sky Foothill World information grasped by Wu Meng Academy was not much. What Ye Yuan understood was very limited too.
Hence, he must first understand this world before he could know how to obtain the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone.
Finishing with this, Ye Yuan took a step and directly disappeared from where he stood.
In the forest, Ye Yuan seemed to be strolling idly in a courtyard. In reality, his speed was swift to the extreme!
Taking a step out, it was a thousand miles away.
“Mn?”
Ye Yuan’s figure suddenly paused, stopping.
Arriving at the Sky Foothill World, his divine sense recovered to an extremely terrifying range again and already detected several figures ahead.
At the same time, Ye Yuan even detected that a deity realm fierce beast was currently coming in his direction.
“The fierce beast is in that direction! Teacher Mo Yun, this time, I can definitely personally capture that fierce beast and tame it! Don’t intervene today!” A young voice sounded out.
“Huhu, Mo Yun naturally believes in Young Lord Bai Chen’s strength! You just feel free to act. Not reaching the final juncture, I won’t intervene,” Mo Yun said with a light laugh.
He knew that
this Young Lord Bai Chen enjoyed success at a young age and was very proud. Suffering major losses under the hands of this fierce beast repeatedly, he was very pent up.
However, Young Lord Bai Chen’s talent was indeed astonishing. In less than a year’s time, Young Lord Bai Chen already became much stronger under this fierce beast’s stimulation.
Although he was still not that fierce beast’s match yet currently, defeating it alone was already something sooner or later.
“Teacher Mo Yun, this time, you absolutely mustn’t be like last time, repelling it when I only suffered a bit of injury! Otherwise, I’ll really fall out!” Bai Chen said unhappily.
“Haha, Young Lord rest assured, I definitely won’t this time! Unless it concerns life and death, I absolutely won’t take action!” Mo Yun laughed and said.
“Come on, Young Lord! You can definitely defeat that fierce beast this time!”
“Young Lord is mighty!”
“Young Lord is mighty!”
…
Several accompanying martial artists were all cheering Bai Chen on.
Bai Chen smiled proudly and rushed over in the fierce beast’s direction.
“Roar!”
When Bai Chen rushed over, the fierce beast was currently roaring madly in Ye Yuan’s direction, the commotion extremely terrifying.
Originally, the dense woods blocked the view. Only when Bai Chen came near, did he discover that there was a young man standing there.
And the fierce beast was currently baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, assuming a posture about to pounce at Ye Yuan.
“Don’t move! Leave this guy to me!”
Bai Chen shouted loudly, his figure dashing towards that fierce best like lightning.
That was a lion-type fierce beast. Ye Yuan did not recognize it.
Although this species of fierce beast was extremely strong, it was not civilized and did not belong to the category of the demon race.
Bai Chen had an imposing momentum, brandished a divine artifact heavy spear, and clashed together with the fierce beast.
The moment he got started, Bai Chen thoroughly suppressed the fierce beast.
