Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao c1-1294
Page 598
If a fraction of the empress’ power was this already this strong, then this empress had definitely reached the pinnacle level of the Heavenly Body Tier!
Wei Zecheng suppressed his anger, and said, “I have to admit that your strength is astonishing. However, this is the Majestic Heaven Sect!”
Empress Luan Xing took no heed of his words. She clasped her hands behind her back, and said, “Don’t let your dog run loose. If he goes crazy and attacks people again, I’ll make sure to knock all of his teeth out!”
Yang Hao felt utterly humiliated. He had been compared to a dog!!
However, did he dare to jump out and speak now?
That was Empress Luan Xing!
Which ruler wasn’t bold and wise? Which ruler wasn’t supremely talented and at the peak stage of the Heavenly Body Tier?
Yang Hao was indeed an outstanding prodigy. However, if he wanted to surpass Empress Luan Xing, that would take him at least tens of thousands of years. In fact, it might even be impossible to surpass her.
After all, how many Eternal River Tier elites did this galaxy have?
One!
Yang Hao could only swallow this humiliation.
There was a look of deep hatred in his eyes as he glowered at Ling Han. It was because of this person that he had been humiliated before everyone! Although losing to a Heavenly Body Tier elite wouldn’t smear his reputation much, it was still extremely embarrassing to have so many others witness his pathetic defeat.
Ling Han cracked a smile at him. This was his wife, so it was only natural that she stepped out to help her husband.
‘Who told you to pick on me first?
‘If our cultivation levels were the same, who would be afraid of whom?’
A look of fury flashed across Wei Zecheng’s face. However, his might was significantly weakened due to Empress Luan Xing’s domineering aura, and the threats that were at the tip of his tongue wouldn’t come out no matter what.
This was the difference between elites and king tiers.
“Remember my words!” Empress Luan Xing swept her gaze over Yang Hao before shutting her eyes. When she reopened them, her formidable aura receded like a falling tide. Her domineering aura was gone, and it was replaced by one of innocence and ditziness.
She had naturally reverted back to being Hu Feiyun.
“Huh? Why is everyone staring at me?” the ditzy woman said. There was a puzzled look on her pretty face.
The others couldn’t help but grimace. Who would’ve thought that this “unremarkable” woman actually had such a terrifying background?
This “unremarkable” wasn’t referring to Hu Feiyun’s looks, but rather her performance after she entered the sect. She hadn’t done anything astonishing or worthy of notice. Thus, she was naturally unremarkable when compared to the other similarly talented seed-level prodigies.
However, there was actually the spiritual mark of a supreme elite imprinted into this unremarkable woman’s body. This almost frightened them to death. Thankfully, they hadn’t picked on her before. Otherwise, they would die without even knowing how they were killed.
Although Empress Luan Xing had “left”, Wei Zecheng still didn’t dare to touch Hu Feiyun. He glanced at her one last time before grabbing Yang Hao and striding down the mountain peak.
Although Yang Hao hadn’t been killed by Empress Luan Xing’s attacks, he had still suffered extremely grave wounds. In fact, his wounds were definitely a dozen or even two dozen times more severe than Ling Han’s.
This revealed the empress’ attitude—if you beat my people, I’d return the favor 10 times over!
“How domineering!” Ling Han murmured to himself. “No wonder she wants me to reach the Genesis Tier before allowing me to marry her. Otherwise, based on her strong temperament, she’ll definitely be the one riding on top of me. Say, it’s not like I can’t accept that position.”
After this incident, none of the seeds felt like continuing their discussions anymore. Thus, everyone started to take their leave.
Anyhow, they all had wild ambitions to reach the pinnacle level of the Mountain River Tier after witnessing the battles of the king tier prodigies. Otherwise, what would it matter even if they advanced to the Sun Moon Tier? They would most definitely lose if they were to battle against king tiers at the same cultivation level!
They were all prodigies among prodigies, and thus it was only natural that their aim was to become an invincible king tier.
“Brother Han, I’ll contact you in a few days,” He Tao said with a smile. He then waved and bade farewell.
Ling Han nodded, and said, “Sure, let’s talk later.”
“Senior Brother Han, do you know of someone called Ling Han?” Shao Sisi and the others all walked over and stared at Ling Han.
Like Ling Han, this man also possessed a terrifying physique. However, they refused to believe that there existed two such freaks in the world. Moreover, this person was called “Han Lin”, and wasn’t the reverse of this “Ling Han”?
Ling Han knew that they were already suspicious of his identity. Thus, he didn’t plan to hide it from them any longer. Anyhow, he trusted that they weren’t bigmouths who would go around telling everyone. He smiled, and said, “Guys, it’s been two years. You all look quite well, huh?”
Shao Sisi and the others were all moved. ‘F*ck! It really is him!’
“I was thinking it was you! However, I wasn’t really sure, as you were only at the high extreme two years ago.” Su Jing sighed with emotion, and continued, “It’s only been two years, yet your cultivation level has already surpassed ours. That’s unbelievable!”
“I was just lucky,” Ling Han said.
“F*ck! You’re showing off! I can’t get used to this!”
“Drag him along for a drink. We have to get him drunk!”
“Agreed! We definitely have to get him drunk!”
They dragged Ling Han to go drinking, and the Rain Emperor and Ding Ping naturally tagged along. To Ling Han’s surprise, Xia Wuque also went along with them. He couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. They had once been enemies, yet Xia Wuque’s attitude toward him had seen a massive change.
There was a small town under the Majestic Heaven Sect, and it had restaurants, bars, and all the other necessary services. They paid for a private room, then started to drink to their heart’s content.
Ling Han mentioned the Mystery Realm that He Tao had invited him to enter together, and to his surprise, a lot of them already knew about this.
“You’re probably referring to the Yellow Spring Mystery Realm.” Shao Sisi nodded, and continued, “That’s an ancient Mystery Realm, and it’s one where Venerable Trinity personally broke open the outer layer of restrictive formations. If he hadn’t done so, no one would be able to enter.”
“However, Venerable Trinity himself isn’t able to enter this Mystery Realm. According to rumors, doing so will either result in his death or result in the destruction of the entire Mystery Realm.”
“There are numerous ancient treasures inside, and there are also some high-grade Godly medicines. It’s extremely attractive to cultivators.”
“However, only those at the Mountain River Tier can enter, so many people purposefully suppress their cultivation in order to stay at this tier. Their aim is simply to enter this Mystery Realm a few more times. They wish to accumulate enough resources and comprehension for their future cultivation.”
Su Jing and the others all chimed in to explain the situation. They all had powerful backgrounds, and thus they were naturally more informed than Ling Han when it came to such secrets.
“However, I’ve heard that some powerful clans go even further. They specifically have some Sun Moon Tier elites sever their cultivation level and act as guards for their juniors.”
“I’ve also heard about such practices,” Xia Wuque said. “Moreover, even though they’ve severed their cultivation level, they can still raise their power by ingesting some forbidden alchemical pills. Coupled
with their comprehension that’s already at the Sun Moon Tier, an increase in power naturally means that they’re also able to wield higher-tier Regulations.
“Which means… they may as well still be at the Sun Moon Tier!”

Ling Han was slightly astonished. People actually went to such great lengths for a Mystery Realm? This proved just how extraordinary that place was. Otherwise, why would those powerful forces make so many preparations?
“By the looks of it, I’ll have to tag along with you guys when the Mystery Realm opens,” he said with a smile.
These prodigies were all successors of super-powerful forces. As such, they were extremely well-informed regarding the situation inside the Yellow Spring Mystery Realm. Ling Han refused to believe that the forces behind them would remain inactive faced with the temptation of the Yellow Spring Mystery Realm.
Perhaps those kinds of “Mountain River Tier” cultivators would also follow them into the Mystery Realm.
“Hehe!” Shao Sisi and the others all chuckled in reply.
There was no need to lie to someone who already knew their secret. It was because they also engaged in such practices that they knew of these secrets.
“Brother Ling, you can ask for whatever you want if you’re willing to join my Thousand Frost Majestic Empire!” Shao Sisi said. There was a glimmer in her bright eyes, and air of charm exuded from her body.
Her promise, coupled with her gaze, was almost as if she were saying “I’ll even consider marrying you”.
“Hehe, Brother Ling, I have a little sister, and she’s a stunning beauty who’s worth sacrificing nations and cities for!” Du An said hurriedly. “You together with her are a match made in heaven! I guarantee that I can earn a position of a duke for Brother Ling.”
“Join the Domineering Summer Majestic Empire, and we’ll be blood brothers!” Xia Wuque said.
Ling Han had already proved his talent; he was worth this price.
Although Ling Han had offended Yang Hao, Yang Hao was only at the Sun Moon Tier. Moreover, his background wasn’t any stronger than theirs. It could be said that as long as Yang Hao didn’t reach the Eternal River Tier, they needed not be afraid of him.
Anyhow, even if he could reach the Eternal River Tier, how many years later would that be?
Yang Hao had only taken less than 1000 years to reach the high extreme of the Sun Moon Tier. However, it was a huge and difficult leap to advance from the Sun Moon Tier to the Heavenly Body Tier, to say nothing of the Eternal River Tier. There was only a single Eternal River Tier elite in the galaxy, and this proved just how extraordinarily difficult it was to reach this tier.
Thus, his several hundred years’ lead over Ling Han would disappear in no time. In the future, advancing just a single tier would take him tens of thousands of years. A period of several centuries was nothing compared to this.
Meanwhile, Ling Han skirted around their questions and avoided giving any answer. He already had his own force, so how could he join someone else’s empire? In any case, even if were to join one, it would be the Chaotic Stars Majestic Empire.
After all, even the empress was his!
Of course, he only dared to say this in his mind. Otherwise, the Eternity Sky Emperor, Jade Drop Emperor, and even a few members of the Seven Generals might charge over to the Majestic Heaven Sect to kill him.
When the gathering concluded, Ling Han met up with the Rain Emperor, Feng Po Yun, Murong Qing, and Helian Tianyun and started to drink again.
Now that Ling Han had arrived, they could naturally cultivate under the Reincarnation Tree again.
Meanwhile, Ling Han snuck out for a break and took Shui Yanyu to a field of flowers far away from the Reincarnation Tree.
“Wife, our son is so fortunate!” Ling Han said in admiration as he cupped his hands over her voluptuous breasts.
Helian Xian Xue’s breasts were pitifully small in comparison. It was with great fortune that her flat chest hadn’t starved their son to death.
Although they had already become one, Shui Yanyu was still easily embarrassed. Her face flushed red, and she turned around to bite his wrist, chiding, “Damn pervert!”
Her sparkling eyes were filled with affection.
Ling Han’s heart shuddered in excitement, and he said, “Thankfully I was shameless enough. Otherwise, how could such a beautiful teacher have become the mother of my child?”
Shui Yanyu struggled weakly, and scolded, “If you weren’t pervertedly groping me while saying this, perhaps I might have been moved! Now, however, I only want to bite this damn pervert to death!”
“Is your zodiac the dog? You’re actually going to bite me?” A playful look flashed across his eyes, and he said, “If you like biting so much, I can teach you a new kind of game. I guarantee you’ll be able to ‘bite’ and ‘nibble’ to your heart’s content.”
He started to whisper in Shui Yanyu’s ears, and her eyes instantly widened in astonishment. She couldn’t help but leap up and jump on top of Ling Han’s body. “Damn pervert! Stupid pervert! Shameless pervert!”
Ling Han laughed heartily, and said, “So, wife, it turns out that you like to take the lead! Come, your hubby will let you do as you please today!”
Shui Yanyu pinched him aggressively. Why did this person always tease her until she became utterly embarrassed?
“Gasp! Say, wife, where are you pinching!” Ling Han purposefully clenched his teeth and sucked in a sharp breath.
Shui Yanyu looked down, only to find that she had pinched his erect buddy. She was so embarrassed that she could barely look Ling Han in the eyes.
“Hehe, wife, I love it when you’re like this,” Ling Han said with a chuckle. “You’re clearly a seductive beauty, yet you’re so easily embarrassed.”
“Damn! Pervert!”
***
After battling against Wu Zhe and Yang Hao, Ling Han naturally became renowned throughout the Majestic Heaven Sect. Although Hu Feiyun’s performance had been more stunning, everyone knew that her power was derived from the spiritual mark in her body. Her actual power was only so-so.
The next morning, an endless stream of people came to visit Ling Han. They wanted to become friends or at least become acquainted with him.
Ling Han didn’t act haughtily. Instead, he talked and joked with them…
…because in his eyes, these people were walking piggy banks!
Those who could enter the Majestic Heaven Sect were generally all successors of powerful forces. The only thing they weren’t short on was money.
He needed to earn money, so he had naturally placed his focus on alchemy. Once he refined pills, these people would become his customers.
Ling Han chuckled gleefully.
His attitude was warm and welcoming, and those who came to visit all felt flattered by his hospitality. They hadn’t expected for Ling Han to be so modest and kind.
Meanwhile, Shui Yanyu shook her head in pity. She knew Ling Han extremely well, so she naturally knew what he was thinking. ‘These people are being treated as pigs for slaughter, yet they’re still thanking Ling Han so profusely. Sure enough, they’re being sold and still helping the seller count his profits.’
Then, her mind wandered to herself. Hadn’t she also been willingly captured by him?
“This sweetheart!” Her voice was embarrassed yet affectionate.
“Cough, this is Senior Brother Han, am I correct?” A man in green walked over, and a look of amazement flashed across his face as his eyes swept over Shui Yanyu. He glanced at her once more before turning his eyes to Ling Han.
Ling Han’s impression of him was already at rock-bottom. “That’s right, I’m Ling Han,” he said indifferently.
The man in green smiled haughtily, and said, “I’m Gai Yongsi, and I’ve come from the Gao Faction.”
“What Gao Faction?” Ling Han hated it when others acted haughtily before
him. He felt annoyed just looking at the smug face of the man in green.
Gai Yongsi remained unfazed, and said, “Senior Brother Han, you still don’t know, do you? Our Majestic Heaven Sect is actually split into several factions. Our founder took nine disciples in total, and thus the factions led by them are the strongest. The Gao Faction is one such faction.”
Ling Han was slightly astonished. Venerable Trinity didn’t wish to dominate the galaxy, yet by the looks of it, his nine disciples were definitely no peace-lovers.
Once the Venerable Trinity passed away, this galaxy would definitely descend into chaotic war, one which would require maps to be redrawn.
“So what?” Ling Han said indifferently.
A hint of anger crept onto Gai Yongsi’s face. Hadn’t Ling Han heard him say that he had come from the Gao Faction, a faction that was founded by one of Venerable Trinity’s disciples? However, he forcefully suppressed his anger upon remembering the objective of his visit. “I’ve come on behalf of the young master to specially invite Senior Brother Han to join our Gao Faction.”

“I’m not interested,” Ling Han answered without a moment of hesitation.
Gai Yongsi faltered for a moment before saying, “Senior Brother Han, don’t you want to consider it for a little longer?”
“Is there something wrong with your ears, or is there something wrong with your brain?” Ling Han asked.
Gai Yongsi was flabbergasted. Had he not explained clearly just then? He had said that he was inviting Ling Han to join the Gao Faction on behalf of the young master!
“Do you know how magnificent the Gao Faction is?” He felt that he had to explain further, and so he continued, “Lord Gao Fang, the faction leader, is the fourth disciple of the Venerable Trinity. Moreover, he’s a super-elite at the consummate level of the Heavenly Body Tier. In fact, there’s a great chance he’ll advance to the Eternal River Tier in the future!
“Gao Huang, the young master, is also an elite at the consummate level of the Sun Moon Tier. He’ll definitely become a Heavenly Body Tier paragon in the future!”
