“Supreme Jade Void Pill! This … Ye Yuan, it isn’t real, right?” Coldfeather’s entire body trembled violently, his eyes revealing a look of disbelief.
Rank three had the Vastsun Universe Pill, while rank four had the Supreme Jade Void Pill!
This medicinal pill was naturally used to help martial artists break through to the Celestial Deity Realm.
Except, like how Three-star Alchemy Gods could not refine a Vastsun Universe Pill, for Four-star Alchemy Gods to want to refine a Supreme Jade Void Pill, it was simply a fool’s talk.
To Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, no one had ever thought of wanting to go and refine this medicinal pill either.
Hence, when Xuan Yu said this name, Coldfeather two people palpated with eagerness.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “As for now, it’s still too early. But … this day shouldn’t be far either.”
After breaking through to the Divine Vortex Realm, the majority of Ye Yuan’s effort was placed on researching Alchemy Dao.
For him to be able to refine the Tenghai Space Splitting Pill, such a high difficulty medicinal pill so quickly, this was naturally inseparable from his hard work too.
Except, rank four divine pills were indeed a massive watershed. The refining difficulty was god knows how many times harder than rank three divine pills.
Even if it was Ye Yuan, wanting to refine level nine difficulty rank four divine pills in a short time, it was still somewhat beyond his power.
However, although Ye Yuan’s words were spoken out nonchalantly, in the other few people’s ears, it was akin to a bolt out of the blue.
Xuan Yu smiled bitterly and said, “You brat, U really don’t know what to say about you! This old man studied Alchemy Dao for 100 thousand years, but I haven’t even touched the borders of level eight difficulty. You just broke through for several decades and are already almost able to refine the Supreme Jade Void Pill. If this old man’s skin was a little thinner, I’d really hit my head and die!”
When the few people heard, they all guffawed with laughter.
Although it was teasing, Ye Yuan’s alchemy talent indeed made them visibly moved.
“It’s just that … the few primary medicines that the Supreme Jade Void Pill requires are all extremely hard to come by treasures. Our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City doesn’t seem to have a complete range, right?” Coldfeather suddenly said.
A clever housewife could not cook a meal without rice. Even if Ye Yuan had the ability to refine pills, without spirit medicines, he still did not have a way.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “You guys set your mind at ease about this. On this trip out, this Ye collected quite a few precious spirit medicines. Disregarding other things, helping the two of you breakthrough is no big problem.”
The moment Coldfeather two people heard, they were wildly elated in their hearts.
Coldfeather said, “Ye Yuan, if this old man can break through to the Celestial Deity Realm, this old life will be considered sold to you!”
Zheng Qi smiled bitterly and said, “Grandmaster, my life was saved by him in the first place. This grace is hard to repay even with ten thousand deaths.”
The few people were currently talking when a layer of ripple appeared in the space. Two figures slowly walked out. They were City Lord Zuo Shujie and He Chong.
“Paying respects to City Lord! Paying respects to Grand Elder!” Coldfeather and the rest hurriedly went up to salute.
Zuo Shujie’s expression was rather ugly as he said in a solemn voice, “All sit down. This city lord has something to tell you all.”
Seeing Zuo Shujie’s appearance, Coldfeather and the rest of their hearts involuntarily thumped.
Looks like it was not some good thing!
Zuo Shujie reached his hand out, a small golden sword suspended on his palm.
“Golden Sword Token! This … This is Utmost Peace Imperial City’s Golden Sword Token! They’re going to activate the Golden Sword Pact!” Zheng Qi’s expression changed greatly as he said.
Zuo Shujie nodded and said, “This seat has just received Utmost Peace Imperial City’s Golden Sword Token. They’ve agreed upon to launch the Golden Sword Pact ten years later! Looks like this time, they will not rest until they are dead!”
Coldfeather few people’s faces instantly became ugly to the extreme.
“They … They are bullying others too far!” Coldfeather gritted his teeth and said.
“Utmost Peace Imperial City, among us low-order imperial cities, their strength is very powerful! Activating the Golden Sword Pact, who can stop them?” Zheng Qi said full of bitterness.
Zuo Shujie heaved a sigh and said to Ye Yuan, “Ye Yuan, Utmost Peace Imperial City is aiming for you this time! Why not … you leave Heavenly Eagle first and avoid the limelight for the time being!”
Chapter 1693. Who Dictates? |
“They came for the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain?”
Ye Yuan did not reveal a visible change in countenance, appearing very calm.
He did not understand what this Golden Sword Pact was. But Utmost Peace Imperial City provoked them time and again. Apart from the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, there was likely no other possibilities.
Zuo Shujie nodded and said, “They activated the Golden Sword Pact and mentioned that they wanted us to hand over the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! If not for the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, Utmost Peace Imperial City also would not go through such great trouble.”
Even under the command of the same heavenly emperor, the relationship between imperial cities was also not very harmonious.
Imperial cities were different from capital cities. Because of the geographical relationship, imperial cities were extremely far apart. It was also impossible for the imperial capital to be able to control every imperial city.
Hence, an imperial city of this level was actually relatively independent.
Therefore, some friction often happened between imperial cities, and it was also very normal.
Even if there was a valid reason, there was no incident of one imperial city destroying another in a normal situation.
An imperial city was equivalent to the mortal world’s vassal state.
And one imperial city making a move against another imperial city needed to issue a Golden Sword Token to the other party!
The Golden Sword Pact that Utmost Peace Imperial City activated was the first mode of the Golden Sword Token. It was considered relatively gentle.
This was the direct contention between both sides’ upper echelons. The loser would have to hand over the item that the other party asked for with both hands!
And the second mode was to directly shatter this golden sword. Then it was an irreconcilable-till-death situation for both sides.
The two imperial cities would be plunged into war.
Ye Yuan gained a clear item of this Golden Sword Pact and asked Zuo Shujie, “City Lord, that Utmost Peace Imperial City’s city lord, I don’t know if you’re his match. Are you?”
Zuo Shujie’s eyes narrowed slightly, extremely shocked in his heart.
Could the meaning in Ye Yuan’s words be to really have a life-and-death struggle with Utmost Peace Imperial City?
He shook his head and said, “Ye Yuan, I know that you aren’t willing, but Utmost Peace Imperial City is powerful and is a mid-upper imperial city in strength among our Southridge Ten Cities. Our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City has no way of competing. As for that Qiao Anshan, even though he’s the same as me, both second-layered heaven Celestial Deities, he … is already a peak second-layered heaven Celestial Deity. I’m not his match.”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Then if … I lend you the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain?”
Zuo Shujie’s entire body trembled and he said rather excitedly, “If I have the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain in possession, I have at least 70% assurance to defeat him!”
However, he immediately became dejected and continued: “It’s no use. Utmost Peace has four
great celestial deities. Even though three of them are first-layered heaven celestial deities, He Chong alone isn’t a match.”
Ye Yuan held his palm out, a small black hill emerged.
“City Lord, it is not that Ye Yuan is stingy. But this Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain is still very useful to Ye Yuan. Otherwise, even giving to you is fine. In these ten years, the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain will be under the charge of City Lord. I hope that City Lord uses it to win victory at the unfurling of the flag!”
Finished talking, Ye Yuan’s palm pushed, the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain landed in Zuo Shujie’s hand.
Zuo Shujie’s shock was by no means insignificant. He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so generous, to be willing to lend the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain for him to use.
Before waiting for him to get over his shock, Ye Yuan took out another dark yellow-colored rope.
Zuo Shujie and He Chong’s gazes turned intent and they cried out, “Immortal Binding Rope!”
Ye Yuan threw the Immortal Binding Rope to He Chong and said with a smile, “Grand Elder, this Immortal Binding Rope is useless to this Ye, give it to you.”
At this time, He Chong’s entire person was in a daze.
He had never thought that he would actually own a celestial deity mystic treasure one day!
This was a celestial deity mystic treasure! Ye Yuan gave it to him just like this?
“This … Is this … really … given to me?” He Chong still had a look of disbelief until now.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Can this still be fake? Lend me a gallbladder and I also won’t dare to crack jokes with Grand Elder.”
Seeing Ye Yuan’s eyes, He Chong was convinced that he was not joking with him.
He Chong sucked in a deep breath and said to Ye Yuan, “Alright, then I won’t be pretentious anymore! Ye Yuan, if you have any needs in the future, feel free to ask me!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Even if Grand Elder doesn’t say, Ye Yuan has to ask the two of you for help too.”
Zuo Shujie and He Chong exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise from the other party’s eyes.
Seemed like this Ye Yuan had long had a plan in mind!
Ye Yuan said, “In these ten years, the two of you please collect more rank four spirit medicines back, the more the better! As for the Golden Sword Pact, the two of you can rest assured. They won’t be cocky soon enough!”
Zuo Shujie and He Chong suddenly felt that this world already did not belong to them.
They came to urge Ye Yuan to leave, but now, it was different. Ye Yuan had one word for them: fight!
Could a first-layered heaven Divine Lord be dictating this struggle between Celestial Deity Realms?
Thinking about it, the two people felt that it was inconceivable.
Xuan Yu was rather worried as he said, “Ye Yuan, there are only ten years more. Do you … have confidence in refining the Supreme Jade Void Pill within ten years?”
“What? Supreme Jade Void Pill?”
Although they were Celestial Deity powerhouses, Zuo Shujie and He Chong’s reactions were no different from Coldfeather and the others previously.
Supreme Jade Void Pill, this term, was too distant from them.
At this time, the two of them finally understood where Ye Yuan’s confidence lay.
Ye Yuan said, “I don’t know either, but I will give it my best! All in all, running isn’t a solution. Activating the Golden Sword Token this time, they are clearly coming for us. Even if I really leave, they probably won’t let Heavenly Eagle Imperial City go that easily either.”
Having said this, Ye Yuan’s expression turned cold and he said, “Since they dared to reach their hands out, then they’ll have to be prepared to be bitten!”
Ye Yuan was naturally not willing to leave. At present, close to 400 years had passed. There was still around 100 years to the 500-year-agreement.
Leaving at this time, if he missed Li-er and they all, there would be many twists and turns again.
Ye Yuan had long made a decision in his heart. Since he was not able to avoid it, then just battle!
He wanted to rely on his own power and let the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City become powerful!
…
At Utmost Peace Imperial City, Qiao Anshan’s gaze swept over the group of powerhouses below and said coolly, “This time, we must obtain the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! If Heavenly Eagle Imperial City’s people are impervious to reason, then kill without mercy!”
Wen Yilin said, “This kid called Ye Yuan has escaped several calamities time and again. This time, we absolutely can’t let him get away!”
Qiao Anshan said, “Relax, this seat has already laid down an all-encompassing net, just waiting for him to escape! Zuo Shujie that coward, after receiving the Golden Sword Token, he’ll definitely let Ye Yuan escape!”
Wen Yilin gave a thumbs up and praised, “City Lord truly takes every conceivable possibility into account! This punk called Ye Yuan is truly tired of living, to actually dare provoke a lion in its den! Not only did he kill Gao Yuan, he even snatched away the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain and Immortal Binding Rope. If he doesn’t die, it will be hard for this old man to dispel the hatred in my heart!”
Qiao Anshan smiled and said, “Relax, he’s dead for sure this time! Also, you get Yang Fan to prepare well. This time … let him personally avenge Gao Yuan!”
Chapter 1694. Jumping Clowns |
Qiao Anshan never dreamed that the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, which only had two Celestial Deity powerhouses, actually dared to have a battle with him!
After guarding bitterly for ten years, every important communication route of Heavenly Eagle’s yielded nothing, making Qiao Anshan badly depressed.
One had to know, he paid a considerable price in order to seal off Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.
After all, he, a powerhouse from Utmost Peace Imperial City, had no way of completely covering Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.
But the final result was pointlessly wasting ten years.
“City Lord, the day of the Golden Sword Pact is getting closer and closer. Zuo Shujie that guy wouldn’t really want to fight to the bitter end with us, right?” Wen Yilin asked rather anxiously.
Qiao Anshan had a feeling like his heart was dripping blood. Hearing that, he said in a cold voice, “Since Zuo Shujie himself wants to seek death, then this seat will fulfill his wishes! This time, we’ll wipe out Heavenly Eagle Imperial City while we’re at it, turning it into our puppet!”
Wen Yilin nodded and said, “This is them courting death, then we can’t be blamed!”
Between imperial cities, if it was not a last resort, they would not exterminate the other party.
Killing a thousand of the enemy, losing 800 of your own. Although Qiao Anshan’s strength was strong, if he really wanted to kill Zuo Shujie, he would pay a terrible price too.
The truly weak ones had long been eradicated.
Now, those able to survive were clearly all not weaklings.
Heavenly Eagle Imperial City was just relatively weaker.
And Zuo Shujie was the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City’s sea-stabilizing needle.
But the situation this time was somewhat different. Qiao Anshan finally could not hold back anymore.
“As long as this seat refines the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, I’ll be able to break through to become a third-layered heaven Celestial Deity! At that time, our Utmost Peace Imperial City will be sufficient to rank in the top three among the Southridge Ten Cities! Therefore, even at the risk of severe injuries, we have to obtain the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain this time too!” Qiao Anshan said in a solemn voice.
…
On this day, the cloud and winds above Heavenly Eagle Imperial City suddenly changed erratically.
Over a dozen powerhouses stepped over through the air. The commotion created was astonishing!
The faces of the powerhouses in the city all changed drastically.
They knew that the moment of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City’s life and death had arrived!
Receiving the Golden Sword Token, it must be announced to the whole city.
Everyone in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City had long known that Utmost Peace Imperial City was going to activate the Golden Sword Pact already.
Heavenly Eagle Imperial City’s powerhouses all looked up to the sky. That powerful line-up virtually made them despair.
“Four great Celestial Deity powerhouses! This … is finally coming?”
“Wonder whether or not Heavenly Eagle can make it through the crisis this time!”
“Fighting two-on-four, this … I completely can’t see hope!”
“Sigh! Utmost Peace Imperial City’s action is too fast! If give Head Elder Ye Yuan some more time, perhaps it wouldn’t be today’s situation!”
…
In these ten years, everyone in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City felt the danger.
But this was also Heavenly Eagle Imperial City’s most united ten years.
The various major families gave up internal friction, putting more effort into cultivation.
Under the catalyzing of Ye Yuan’s medicinal pills, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City gave birth to a large batch of powerhouses.
Presently, in the city, just the ninth-layered heaven Divine Lords were as many as three people.
Except, ninth-layered heaven Divine Lords were completely useless to battles at Celestial Deity level!
In front of Celestial Deity powerhouses, forget about ninth-layered heaven Divine Lords, even half-step celestial deities were ant-like existences.
“Zuo Shujie, get out for this seat!”
A thunderous voice instantly reverberated throughout the entire city.
Qiao Anshan’s shout, the commotion was extremely shocking.
He was deliberately demonstrating his strength, awing the powerhouses in the city.
At this time, two figures arrived high up in the air. They were precisely Zuo Shujie and He Chong.
Zuo Shujie looked at Qiao Anshan and said coldly, “Qiao Anshan, the hour hasn’t arrived yet. Lord Inspector hasn’t arrived as well. Flaunting your prowess like this, are you really bullying that my Heavenly Eagle Imperial City doesn’t have anyone?”
