He had to go back and rest, then digest the comprehension he had this time carefully.
Half a month later, a powerful aura rose to the sky inside the secret chamber.
Ye Yuan finally broke through to the Seventh Firmament Origin Pill!
Chapter 2108. Aggrieved |
“Master, that Crimsonsky has already been clamoring outside for many days, saying that he wanted to challenge you in front of the entire city.”
The moment Ye Yuan exited seclusion, Loneswan came up to greet him.
Ye Yuan’s brows raised up and he said with a smile, “Oh? Go out and take a look.”
The two people walked out of the front door and discovered that outside the door there was already a huge crowd of people.
Challenging the Second Sage, this sort of thing, and in addition to it being in front of everyone in the city, there was naturally tremendous appeal.
Furthermore, the people present already knew that Crimsonsky was High Priest Redplume’s disciple. His strength was bound to be extremely strong.
These two people’s alchemy battle would absolutely be unusually exciting and extremely worth seeing.
“Lord Second Sage, Crimsonsky is unworthy but wants to challenge you!”
“Lord Second Sage, do you see it? Everyone is looking forward to you taking action!”
“Lord Sacred Ancestor High Priest, huddling up like a turtle, wouldn’t you lower Sacred Ancestor High Priest’s reputation?”
… …
Outside the front door, Crimsonsky shouted at the top of his voice, his voice spreading all around.
These people were probably mostly summoned by his loud voice.
But he became wiser this time, calling ‘Lord Second Sage’ time and again, not daring to have the slightest bit of arrogant action.
Seeing Ye Yuan come out, Crimsonsky’s eyes lit up. He then gave a bow toward Ye Yuan and said, “Lord Second Sage, Crimsonsky has been waiting here for a long time!”
Ye Yuan said coolly, “You want to challenge me?”
Crimsonsky nodded and said, “Right now, everyone in the city is saying that Lord Second Sage’s name falls short of reality. A mere Six-star priest at the True God Realm, how can he take on the name of Second Sage? Hence, Crimsonsky has come forward on my own accord and wants to request Lord Second Sage to give a pointer or two in front of the demons in the entire city, so as to rectify the name of Lord Second Sage.”
“Yeah, Lord Second Sage! If you want to obtain our recognition, then take out a bit of strength!”
“We really want to see on what basis you become the Second Sage!”
“Not letting us see your strength, we absolutely won’t acknowledge that you’re Second Sage!”
… …
The ones that came to crowd around, quite a number of people were all priests and thought very highly of Second Sage this title.
With Crimsonsky saying so, it immediately aroused many people’s resonance.
Ye Yuan’s two eyes narrowed slightly. His heart was like a clear mirror.
Crimsonsky, this kind of person whose eyes were at the top of their heads, it was impossible to have this kind of cunningness. There was definitely someone plotting at the back.
But since he dared to come to Westspirit Region, he naturally did not fear challenges.
Ye Yuan revealed a look of amusement on his face and said smilingly, “Can defeating you prove the title of Second Sage? Crimsonsky, you’re also thinking too highly of yourself, right?”
Crimsonsky could not help choking when he heard that. The others were also directly tongue-tied.
Yeah, what kind of existence was Second Sage?
That was an Alchemy Dao powerhouse second only to Sacred Ancestor High Priest. How could a mere Crimsonsky be mentioned in the same breath?
Crimsonsky discovered that in front of Ye Yuan, he was a complete and utter noob.
He was like a ball of clay, Ye Yuan could knead him however he wanted.
Really aggrieving!
“Lord Second Sage, are you avoiding my challenge?” Crimsonsky gritted his teeth and said.
Ye Yuan avoiding and not fighting with this as the reason right now, no one dared to say a word of no.
You want to challenge me, you were totally not qualified enough!
“Huhu, why would this sage avoid the battle? Telling you all this is just to let you understand your statuses! I know that you think that by reaching Ancestor Realm, you are conceited and think that you can challenge this sage. Then this sage will let you understand how great the disparity between you and I is!”
Crimsonsky’s brows raised up, and he said with a big laugh, “That’s what you said!”
“I said it,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
… …
Second Sage and High Priest Redplume’s disciple, Crimsonsky’s battle, swept throughout the entire city like the wind.
In the plaza, there were massive crowds of people. Not even a needle could be poked in.
The demon race’s priests all raked their heads, wanting to squeeze a little closer.
On the stage, Crimsonsky looked at Ye Yuan with a smug look and said with a smile, “Lord Second Sage, the humiliation that you gave me these few days, I’m going to claim it all back.”
Ye Yuan’s gaze turned sharp and he said in a solemn voice, “Humiliation? You’re saying that you showed no respect to your superiors and then I punished you to kneel and repent; it’s humiliation?”
The moment Crimsonsky heard, he almost bit his tongue off.
How aggrieving!
A little carelessness and he fell into the pit again.
Making him maintain a modest and polite mentality toward a person whose realm was even lower than his was seriously too hard.
When talking, a moment of carelessness that he would reveal his true colors.
“N-No, I … I didn’t mean that. What I’m saying is, Lord Second Sage please guide me well,” Crimsonsky said stammeringly.
In front of so many people, if he was punished with kneeling again by Ye Yuan, it would really be a huge loss of face.
Today was making Ye Yuan lose face, not make himself lose face.
Crimsonsky secretly hated in his heart, swearing that he would definitely make Ye Yuan lose very horribly!
But Ye Yuan was secretly laughing in his heart, but was calm on the surface as he said, “Relax, this sage will guide you well.”
Humph, humph, when the time comes, who guides who is still not known! Just you be smug, you’ll be crying later! Crimsonsky smiled coldly in his heart.
He was extremely confident in his strength and that he absolutely would not lose to Ye Yuan.
This fight also attracted the attention of many parties.
On an inconspicuous watchtower, Gongyang Lie stood with his hands behind his back. Behind him stood Xin Luo.
Crimsonsky’s deflated appearance was naturally taken into his sights in its entirety.
Gongyang Lie could not help shaking his head and he sighed and said, “Crimsonsky’s talent is indeed great, but his experiences are too little. He isn’t Ye Yuan’s match at all!”
Xin Luo smiled and said, “Huhu, I believe that this fight will also be of tremendous help to Lord Crimsonsky. He was eyed by Lord Redplume at a very young age and his road was smooth-sailing. In terms of scheming, he naturally can’t compare to Second Sage.”
Gongyang Lie’s gaze was sharp as he said, “This Ye Yuan, I have no idea what background he has either. He’s young, but he is like an old monster in the way he conducts himself. He is proud, but he doesn’t look down on everyone and everything. He is domineering, but he also doesn’t lose the sense of propriety. Even this emperor also has to be careful in front of him.”
Xin Luo also said in agreement, “Second Sage this title is virtually utilized by him to the extreme. He didn’t consider everything and everyone beneath his notice because he is the Second Sage, but he also used the title of Second Sage to pressure us until we can�
�t breathe. He truly is a troublesome character.”
Gongyang Lie’s gaze landed on the Ye Yuan far away and asked, “How high do you think Crimsonsky’s chances are for this fight?”
Xin Luo smiled and said, “This battle, Lord Crimsonsky will definitely win!”
Gongyang Lie said in surprise, “Oh? Why is that?”
Reaching Ancestor Realm was reaching another world.
Whoever was stronger or weaker was really hard to say.
Gongyang Lie also had no choice but to admit that Ye Yuan’s talent indeed surpassed everyone, including Crimsonsky.
Xin Luo seemed to know what Gongyang Lie was thinking and said with a smile, “Talent is one thing, but strength is another. If we don’t reach Ancestor Realm, we don’t have any strength to fight back at all in front of Ye Yuan. But Crimsonsky stepped into Ancestor Realm a thousand years ago, while Ye Yuan had merely stepped into it for several hundred years at most, or even shorter. In addition, Lord Crimsonsky was taught by High Priest Redplume. Letting him out this time, the goal is to probe Ye Yuan’s strength. This indicates that High Priest Redplume feels very optimistic about Crimsonsky! If I must choose one among the two of them, I’ll naturally pick Crimsonsky!”
Chapter 2109. Textbook Example |
On a watchtower with an extremely good line of sight, the Qilin Clan’s powerhouses were all present.
Qi Chen looked in the distance and slowly opened his mouth and said, “Qi Zhen, you have to watch this alchemy battle well. Although I don’t think that he can beat you, the implications of this matter are too great, so you mustn’t be careless.”
Beside Qi Chen, a young man with a cold face stood with his hands behind his back. He was precisely Qi Zhen.
Qi Zhen was the Qilin Clan’s young generation’s number one alchemy genius, his strength formidable.
Although he was of the young generation, Qi Zhen was actually more than 30 thousand years old already.
“To talk about emperor bones, our Qilin Clan also has quite a few left behind by ancestors. Could it be that this emperor bone is different in some way?” Qi Zhen asked curiously.
Qi Chen nodded and said, “I sensed an extremely ancient aura from this emperor bone. Compared to the emperor bones in the clan, it seems to be more nobler and more mysterious! I feel that this emperor bone must be hiding our clan’s big secret inside it. Hence, we must get it!”
Qi Zhen was slightly surprised, clearly not expecting that Qi Chen would actually be so serious.
“Uncle Chen, rest assured. I won’t lose!” Qi Zhen said coolly, revealing powerful confidence.
… …
This fight was anticipated by all.
On that day, when everyone knew that Second Sage was actually a True God Realm, the entire city was shaken.
There were criticizing voices everywhere in the city. There were questioning voices everywhere.
And today, whether Second Sage was worthy of the title or failed to live up to the name, it was also time to examine it.
High Priest Redplume’s proud disciple, an Ancestor Realm powerhouse, this was clearly the most ideal testing stone to test Second Sage’s strength.
“Lord Second Sage, you watch carefully. This is my Redplume lineage’s Nero Heavenwalk Technique! I’ll use it today to tell you that you’re not worthy to be called Second Sage!”
Crimsonsky gave a cold cry, a profound aura suddenly erupted. It was as if there was only him alone left in this entire world.
Waves of profound and inscrutable aura transmitted out of the medicinal cauldron, revolving around Crimsonsky.
This was the aura of Dao!
When everyone saw this scene, they could not help letting out waves of exclamations.
The Demon Divine Region was vast, the powerhouses numerous. But Ancestor Realm powerhouses were extremely hard to encounter.
One had to know, even a major power like Xin Luo was also merely a half-step Ancestor Realm.
“This is Ancestor Realm? Indeed a celestial figure! Lord Crimsonsky is well-deserving of being High Priest Redplume’s proud disciple!”
“This is the aura of Dao! Lord Crimsonsky completely drew out all of the power of law inside the spirit medicines!”
“Too impressive! This is genuine pill refinement! Compared to Lord Crimsonsky, we’re simply trash!”
“Whatever dogfart Second Sage, he’s weak to the max when compared to Lord Crimsonsky!”
… …
In the plaza, fanatical voices could be heard all around. Many people were instantly turned into fans by Crimsonsky.
When had these people seen before Ancestor Realm powerhouses take action? The moment Crimsonsky made his move, they naturally felt incomparably surprised.
On the watchtower, Xin Luo also had a look of surprise as he said with a sigh, “This is Ancestor Realm? Lord Crimsonsky has probably already acquired High Priest Redplume’s true legacy. Given time, he might be able to clear Ask Not as well. This battle doesn’t have any suspense!”
He, this half-step Ancestor Realm, longed for Ancestor Realm immensely.
It was just that this step was far too difficult!
Back then, Empyrean Flutterfeather was a half-step Ancestor Realm long ago but kept failing to take the final step and truly step into Ancestor Realm, all the way until he encountered Ye Yuan.
The so-called Ancestor Realm was actually tracing to the source, and one could already pry into the source of Great Dao, getting to work from the most fundamental, refining medicinal pills.
Hence, the moment Crimsonsky made his move, he drew out all of the power of law inside the spirit medicines, discarded the dregs, and re-tempered them, forming better quality medicinal pills from there!
Gongyang Lie also stroked his beard and laughed loudly when he heard that and said, “Huhu, although Crimsonsky is arrogant at heart and haughty in manner, his talent is indeed extremely high. Even Master is also full of praises toward him! After today, see how Ye Yuan this brat still has the cheek to be called Second Sage!”
Ye Yuan himself appeared very calm. He was not in a rush to take action but observed Crimsonsky’s pill refinement for a while, and unwittingly shook his head slightly.
“Huhu, pill refinement isn’t competing in quarreling, whoever’s voice is louder wins. Today, this sage will teach you a good lesson, and let you know how medicinal pills should be refined.”
It was only to see Ye Yuan put his hands together. The sky suddenly dimmed, motes of stars manifesting above the sky of the stage.
Chaos Heavenly Star Art!
Demonic attraction art activating, Ye Yuan’s entire person transformed into a mirage.
The power of laws inside the spirit medicines transformed into fine flowing streams, flowing into the stars.
This scene was unbelievably beautiful!
Those who were still shouting ‘Lord Crimsonsky is incredible’ previously, already shut their mouths sensibly at this time.
They were already thoroughly dumbstruck with amazement by Ye Yuan’s pill refinement!
When Xin Luo saw this scene, he could not help staring dumbfounded with his mouth agape, unable to say a word.
Originally, Crimsonsky had an imposing momentum, attempting to directly crush Ye Yuan until he could not lift his head.
But very soon, he felt an unparalleled power burst forth, forcefully knocking aside his Alchemy Dao aura, not allowing the least bit of resistance.
In front of this power, he suddenly felt that he was extremely puny.
Crimsonsky’s heart shook wildly, he had yet to encounter such a situation before.
Even when battling on alchemy with his senior apprentice brothers, he also never had this kind of feeling before.
He felt that the Ye Yuan on the other side was akin to the sky, as though he was the earth, as though he was the entire world!
This power was too terrifying!
“Is … Is this Ye Yuan’s true strength?” Xin Luo looked at Ye Yuan blankly, finally blurting o
ut this sentence.
Gongyang Lie did not know pill refinement, but he also discerned something unusual from Xin Luo’s expression.
Furthermore, with his Heavenly Emperor strength, he also sensed the aura of the Great Dao source distinctly.
This aura, even he also felt waves of heart palpitations.
It was not that this power was too strong, but it was a kind of awe and veneration that came from the bottom of the heart.
Being born in this world, people would not really fear nothing.
Mortals revered gods, martial artists revered heaven and earth.
The current Gongyang Lie seemed to be facing heaven and earth.
“Just what is going on? Could it be that … Crimsonsky froze?” Gongyang Lie said somewhat disbelievingly.
Xin Luo turned to look at him and said with a bitter smile, “This alchemy battle doesn’t have any suspense at all! Heavenly Melody Heartseal Pill is one of the most difficult to refine medicinal pills among rank six demon divine pills, the medicinal properties in the spirit medicines extremely complicated. How to extract the power of law heavily tests the standard of the priest. To Ancestor Realm powerhouses, drawing out the medicinal properties within isn’t hard, but … Ye Yuan did it too perfectly!”
On the other side, Qi Chen’s expression was never-before solemn until today. He was also explaining the impressive aspect of Ye Yuan to his fellow clan members.
“The complexity of medicinal properties is just like the stars in the sky, with people being unable to handle it at all. Even Ancestor Realm powerhouses also don’t dare to say that they can master it fully. Even if Sacred Ancestor High Priest or Ancestor Si Chen is here, it’s probably also just Ye Yuan’s standard! If we are to say that Crimsonsky’s strength already attained a higher level, then Ye Yuan’s skill can be said to be … textbook example!”
Behind Qi Zhen, the faces of Qi Chen and the rest became more and more surprised, and increasingly solemn.
Qi Zhen’s appraisal of Ye Yuan was too high!
