What was laughable was that she even thought that Ye Yuan was a trash back then, dragging Ye Yuan into a partnership to enter the Shadowmoon Mountain Range.
Thinking about it now, Baili Qingyan actually felt a hint of sweetness.
Except, she realized now that along with the passing of time, the sense of alienation between Ye Yuan and her was actually gradually increasing.
This was not just the disparity in strength, but that Ye Yuan seemed to have the intention of keeping her at a distance.
This kind of alienation was not the alienation of distance, but it was emotional estrangement.
It seemed that no matter what and when, Ye Yuan would have a professional-like attitude toward her.
This attitude made Baili Qingyan very dejected.
At this time, Xu Yan also went to congratulate. Xu Yan said, “Before coming to the Bamboo Groove Holy Realm, he never would have dreamed that our Shadowmoon Sect can actually obtain two spots. When we return, the sect master will definitely be very happy.”
Obtaining two spots was not just a matter of reputation. The temple would also give certain rewards to True God level sects according to headcount.
This kind of reward had a very far-reaching impact on True God level sects.
Hence, that was why the various major sects would spare no efforts to groom disciples and supply talents to the temple.
Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said, “This one year plus, Ye Yuan is grateful for Elder Xu’s care and is endlessly grateful. Ye Yuan has nothing to repay with and presented Buddha with borrowed flowers, giving these medicinal pills to Senior Apprentice Sister Jiang and Senior Apprentice Brother Yi.”
Jiang Xueyan and Yi Qingxiang’s eyes turned sharp and they cried out in shock: “Tendon Changing Spirit Bamboo Pill, Brahma Dragon Break Pill, these … these medicinal pills are too precious!”
Although these spirit medicines were all sealed, they knew that Ye Yuan taking action would absolutely all be divine-grade and above quality.
These medicinal pills, miss this village and there would not be this shop anymore.
Among the sects, it was absolutely impossible for there to be anyone who could refine this grade of medicinal pills.
These medicinal pills had tremendous benefits to the two people’s cultivation in the future. It can let him pass barriers smoothly, going further!
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Thanks to Treasure Pig, I don’t lack spirit medicines when refining pills now. Hence, I dug some medicinal pills from his mouth and gave them to you.”
The two people looked at Ye Yuan, eyes full of gratitude.
“This … Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, in the past, it was all my fault, hope that you don’t take it badly,” Jiang Xueyan’s face turned red as she apologized.
Yi Qingxiang also said, “Back then, I also harbored malicious intentions toward Junior Apprentice Brother Ye. Mentioning this, I’m really ashamed.”
Presently, they already understood that whatever faction struggle was simply floating clouds in front of a genuine powerhouse.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “That’s all past matters, don’t need to mention anymore. But, there are some words that I want to remind you guys, the might of a sect isn’t brought up amidst internal friction. Rather than spend time bringing other factions down, might as well spend more time to cultivate.”
The two nodded their heads, deeply feeling that way too.
…
On a small boat, seven people and one pig were currently heading for the depths of the Spirit Nether Sea.
“Bamboo Groove Holy Realm is merely the outermost rites ground of the temple, the place that connects the temple with the outside world. The temple has a total of five palaces, branched out on five islands. They are respectively controlled by five great Empyrean elders. And these five great islands surround another island. It’s the most important place in the Bamboo Groove Void Realm: the Realm Heart Island. The heart of the void realm is on this Realm Heart Island.”
Du Rufeng spoke with ease and fluency, introducing the temple’s situation to the five disciples.
As the few people listened, their faces revealed rapt looks.
This place was where the nucleus of the Bamboo Groove Void Realm lay!
The small boat pulled into the shore, Du Rufeng said to the few people, “There are restrictions everywhere on Realm Heart Island, all of you follow closely! Once you trigger the restrictions, immortals can’t save you guys too!”
The few people’s expressions turned fearful when they heard that, revealing a hint of solemnness.
Ye Yuan looked at Little Tong and said with a curious face, “We’re going to the heart of the void realm. You’re going too?”
Little Tong rolled his eyes and said huffily, “Why? You have a problem?”
Du Rufeng chuckled and said, “Opening the heart of the void realm needs to borrow the power of Lord Treasure Pig. And Lord Treasure Pig and Little Tong are always together. So, he definitely has to go.”
“Heard that?” Little Tong said with a smug look.
“Grunt, grunt!”
Treasure Pig also grunted at Ye Yuan like taking credit for someone else’s achievements.
Chapter 1838. Maybe, This Is a So-Called Genius |
“Such thick spatial power!”
The group of people arrived outside of a barrier. Ye Yuan immediately felt the spatial force that hit him head-on.
Du Rufeng nodded and said, “The heart of the void realm is the cornerstone of the void realm, the entire Bamboo Groove Void Realm built on it. The spatial power here is naturally the strongest. You’re the most adept in spatial law, perhaps you might have some gains.”
Ye Yuan nodded his head, revealing a look of anticipation.
Everyone was just about to continue moving on when two figures suddenly appeared out of thin air and asked, “Halt! Who goes there?”
These two people were dressed in black, their auras being incomparably powerful.
When these two people appeared, Ye Yuan’s pupils suddenly constricted.
Spatial law!
These two people both knew spatial law. Furthermore, their comprehensions were exceedingly high.
Du Rufeng said in a clear voice, “Kong Wen, Kong Chen, why? Don’t even recognize me anymore?”
“Oh, turns out that it’s Master Du! You’re a rare guest, what wind blew you here?” Kong Wen laughed and said.
Du Rufeng smiled and said, “Isn’t the once-a-thousand-years Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave here? It just so happens that I was tasked with this errand this time. I brought over these disciples who passed the test and let them enter the heart of the void realm to comprehend.”
Kong Wen’s gaze swept a glance over Ye Yuan and the others. He said with a frown, “Turns out that it’s the disciples who just entered the temple. But … the quality of this season is somewhat poor. Why is there even a middle-stage First Firmament Celestial Deity?”
In this one year plus, virtually every disciple who took part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave made substantial progress.
Ye Yuan as one of the best among them was naturally no exception either.
Not long ago, his realm made a small improvement and broke through. He was now a middle-stage First Firmament Celestial Deity.
Although it was still within a minor realm, this cultivation speed was actually very fast already.
One had to know, for ordinary Celestial Deity powerhouses to want to break through, it was all calculated with thousands, even several tens of thousands of years.
However, Kong Wen’s words made everyone’s faces reveal peculiar looks.
Poor quality?
Ye Yuan’s quality should not be too good!
Du Rufeng laughed and said, “Huhu, Brother Kong Wen has made an error of judgment. Ye Yuan overpowered the masses in this Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, and is fully-deserving of the first place.”
Kong Wen was taken aback and immediately said even more disdainfully,
“He got the first place? Huhu, that shows even more that this season’s disciples are too poor!”
Du Rufeng was speechless when he heard that. Ye Yuan’s strength, if not seeing with one’s own eyes, it was likely very difficult to believe.
“Snort!”
At this time, Little Tong suddenly let out a cold snort.
Only then did Kong Wen duo notice that there was actually a child who followed along too.
However, when they saw the Treasure Pig in the child’s arms, their faces could not help changing greatly.
“Alright, stop talking rubbish, hurry up and open the barrier to let us in.” Du Rufeng said coolly.
Kong Wen duo did not say anymore, immediately taking out two magic weapons, and forcefully opened up a door in the barrier.
Du Rufeng continued and said, “You all go first, I’ll follow right after.”
Ye Yuan’s eyes were flickering incessantly. No one knew what he was thinking about.
But he still entered the barrier together with the others.
After everyone left, Kong Wen said in surprise, “That … Could that child be … that lord?”
Du Rufeng had a solemn look and said in a deep voice, “The few great island masters’ conflict, you guys are also aware of it. This matter, you guys had best take it as you didn’t see anything. Otherwise … the consequences are not what you can bear!”
The two people’s gazes turned intent and they said, “Got it!”
…
Above the void, an enormous chunk of crystal was suspended there.
Seeing the heart of the void realm, Ye Yuan’s mind stirred.
Laying low in the Bamboo Groove Void Realm for so long, he finally saw the heart of the void realm today.
As long as he opened up the heart of the void realm and entered it, he would be able to return to the Heavenspan World.
“Treasure Pig, can you really open up the heart of the void realm?” Ye Yuan asked curiously.
The heart of the void realm was normally in a sealed state. The Bamboo Groove Void Realm’s space was extremely stable. Its normal operation did not need to activate its complete state.
Only when new disciples entered the sect would it open once.
“Grunt! Grunt!”
Treasure Pig grunted at Ye Yuan, seemingly expressing its displeasure.
Suddenly, its body shuddered, two rays of light suddenly shot out of its nose, flying straight for the heart of the void realm.
Bang!
The heart of the void realm emitted intense vibrations. Then, it burst forth with a blinding light.
A boundless spatial power rapidly spread out, making Ye Yuan’s heart float up.
Ye Yuan was overjoyed, threw several medicinal pills over, and said with a smile, “Well done, Treasure Pig! You’re indeed amazing!”
Treasure Pig swallowed several medicinal pills in one gulp and actually grinned at Ye Yuan, boring into his bosom all at once.
Little Tong snorted coldly and said, “Gluttonous pig!”
In this enchantment, spatial law revolved non-stop. Ye Yuan was impacted by the power of laws all of a sudden until he was almost asphyxiating.
Actually, what was contained inside this heart of the void realm was not just spatial power of law, but contained the source of a world, an existence similar to that of Heavenly Dao.
This kind of source power was infinitely beneficial to martial artists.
But Ye Yuan was the most sensitive towards spatial law, so his comprehension in this aspect was also the deepest.
Suddenly, a hint of comprehension rushed to his head. Ye Yuan’s entire person was akin to being electrocuted, standing transfixed on the spot.
A hint of surprise flashed across Little Tong’s eyes and he cried out in surprise, “Comprehended so fast? This kid, really …”
Ye Yuan had already stopped at third firmament spatial law for very long. Today, under the envelopment of this powerful spatial law, he finally produced a trace of enlightenment and started breaking through.
When the others saw this scene, they were all shocked until they could not close their mouths.
Luo Zhen smiled bitterly and said, “Maybe, this is a so-called genius!”
These words coming out of his mouth were really rather bitter.
In this thousand over years, he had always been crowned with the title of a genius. He himself thought so too.
Regardless of whether it was cultivation speed or laws comprehension, he examined his own conscience and felt that he did not lose to anyone.
All the way until he saw Ye Yuan gain enlightenment on Dao today, this confidence was utterly shattered into pieces.
The other four people, including Baili Qingyan, all deeply felt that way too as they nodded their heads.
“This isn’t an ordinary law, but this is one of the supreme laws, spatial law! This guy is really a freak!” Li Long could not resist spitting, being dealt a terrible blow.
Under everyone’s eyes, Ye Yuan took a step out, his body immediately vanishing.
Ye Yuan blended right into the void.
While at this time, Du Rufeng, Kong Wen, and Kong Chen, also entered the barrier and just happened to see the scene of Ye Yuan submerging into the void, their eyes opening wide.
“This … This is spatial law! He comprehended the fourth firmament spatial law! This kid was actually so monstrous?” Kong Wen said in immense shock.
“His profound accumulations erupted. Encountering the spatial power of the heart of the void realm, his power of law directly achieved mastery through comprehensive study of the subject, and understood! We cannot compare to this child!” Kong Wen also said.
Even Du Rufeng was also inexplicably shocked.
He knew that Ye Yuan might very likely gain enlightenment on Dao, but he did not think that it would be this fast.
The others had not started yet and he already comprehended!
Chapter 1839. Kidnapping an Empyrean |
Inside the barrier, Kong Wen and Kong Chen looked at the Ye Yuan above the void with envious looks.
“Tsk tsk, us two brothers spent nearly 400 thousand years to comprehend to fourth firmament spatial law! This brat is just over a thousand years old and actually already did it to this level!” Kong Wen lamented.
The Kong Family was a family clan that guarded the heart of the void realm for generations. They had a natural advantage in comprehending spatial law.
Furthermore, the Kong brothers were also considered among the best in the Kong Family.
But even so, they only started comprehending spatial law when they reached the late-stage Celestial Deity Realm.
Furthermore, the time that they spent was extremely long!
But Ye Yuan only used a thousand over years and completed something that they comprehended for 400 thousand years.
This kind of natural aptitude could be rated as freakish.
Little Tong rolled his eyes at him and said, “Wonder who was it who said that this season’s disciples can’t make it!”
Kong Wen’s expression turned stiff and he said embarrassedly, “Your Excellency, I … Didn’t I not know?”
Little Tong snorted coldly and said, “If you don’t know, then don’t simply say things. Some people are existences that you have to look up to all your life. Therefore, be more low-key in conduct.”
Kong Wen had an appearance like he learned a lesson and said, “Yes, Your Excellency! Kong Wen won’t dare next time!”
Right at this time, the Ye Yuan above the void slowly opened his eyes and let out a sigh as he said, “Spatial law is indeed incredibly marvelous. The comprehension ends here as well.”
When the Kong Wen duo heard these words, they nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood and cursed, “You scoundrelly brat, intentionally aggravating us? From initial-stage fourth firmament to peak initial-stage, I used a full 50 thousand years!”
Spending three years’ time, Ye Yuan’s spatial law comprehension reached peak initial-stage Fo
urth Firmament and was unable to make any more progress.
Ye Yuan said it not without reason. But this speed in Kong pWen two people’s view was already a heaven-defying existence. It was also no wonder that he was very depressed when he heard it.
Ye Yuan’s figure swayed. When he appeared again, he already arrived beside Little Tong and the rest.
Spatial law fourth level, spatial shift!
Before this, Ye Yuan could shuttle through the void, but it was all within a very small range.
But now, Ye Yuan would be several hundred thousand miles away with a thought. The two could not be mentioned in the same breath at all.
Celestial Deity powerhouses could also utilize spatial law and shuttle through the void. But their speed compared to Ye Yuan’s was like heaven and earth.
“Little Tong, you follow me. I have something to tell you,” Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and said.
Little Tong was somewhat uncertain, not knowing what Ye Yuan had up his sleeves, but he still followed.
“What is it? Quickly spit out what you have!” The two people came to a deserted place and Little Tong said with displeasure.
Ye Yuan flashed a smile at Little Tong and suddenly made a move like lightning, swiftly tapping a few times on Little Tong’s body.
Little Tong’s face changed, unable to use an ounce of his strength.
“Boy, do you know what you’re doing?” Little Tong said in a solemn voice.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Don’t get agitated first, I have something to discuss with you, my Lord Empyrean!”
Little Tong’s face changed and he said, “What are you talking about? I don’t understand!”
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, “A straightforward person doesn’t beat around the bush, Lord Empyrean. Stop pretending. When those True God powerhouses saw you, each and every one of their faces was not right. Even I can’t even perceive this, then I’d also be too stupid.”
Actually, Ye Yuan felt that something was wrong with Little Tong long ago. He kept saying that Treasure Pig was his pet, but how could a strange pet like Treasure Pig be handed to a child?
Also, even though Du Rufeng deliberately hid it, his respect for Little Tong sometimes showed up unintentionally.
