How powerful an Alchemy Emperor was, Star Abyss completely had no notion at all. But he knew that it was very, very powerful. Powerful until he was simply unable to imagine it!
The present Ye Yuan in front of him was akin to an ant, while if he was in front of an Alchemy Emperor, he did not even count as an ant; insignificant like a speck of dust.
Such a figure was way more terrifying than any genius character!
Although Ye Yuan’s strength was not formidable, his various kinds of means were inconceivable. Before long, he would become an extremely terrifying opponent of His Majesty, the Wind Emperor!
To kill or not to kill?
Ye Yuan just looked at Star Abyss like this and was not in a hurry to press him.
He was not very clear about this Star Abyss’s disposition. But he was still very clear about Li Daohang’s moral character.
Li Daohang was a very talented and very hardworking person. While he did not take in him as his disciple, Li Daohang treated him as his master all along, silently following by his side for close to a hundred years.
Of course, in this hundred years, his harvest was also tremendous, growing from an Alchemy Ancestor to an Alchemy Venerable expert!
As for Star Abyss, Ye Yuan actually still had some confidence.
Previously, when he mentioned Li Daohang, that sort of revering and respectful expression did not seem to be fake.
Indeed, after Star Abyss mused for quite a while, he sucked in a deep breath and said to Ye Yuan, “I can let you off too. But you have to guarantee not to let my Fierce Gale World’s people plunge into misery and suffering.”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “You’re overthinking it! This sort of thing like a war between two worlds is a matter as big as the heavens to you all. But to me, it essentially counts for nothing. My horizons have never been on this plane! After you ascend to the Divine Realm, you’ll naturally understand the meaning of these words of mine.”
Star Abyss was dazed. Thinking about it, that was true too.
To an Alchemy Emperor, the matters of the Lower Realms were too inconsequential.
“That will be good!” Star Abyss heaved a sigh in relief.
“If the war between two worlds can’t be avoided, I most likely won’t be able to detach myself from it. There are my present kin and friends over there. I have no way of watching them all become Fierce Gale World slaves! However, I can ensure you that I won’t help the Endless World invade the Fierce Gale World. Honestly speaking, if you have the capabilities, you can persuade the Wind Emperor not to invade the Endless World. This way, we can all be happy.” Ye Yuan said.
Star Abyss gave a bitter laugh. “Easier said than done. You’ve also seen the Fierce Gale World’s living conditions. It’s impossible for His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, to give up this war.”
Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, “Foolish! Once the war between two worlds launches, it will only plunge the people into an abyss of misery and suffering! Even if the Fierce Gale World wins, it will definitely be a pyrrhic victory too. He used improving living conditions as a pretense to invade another world, isn’t it in order to satisfy his own selfish interests? To plunder more cultivation resources? At that time, the ones dead will be his citizens, but the beneficiary will be him, this high and lofty Wind Emperor, His Majesty!”
But Star Abyss disagreed. “Lord Wind Emperor is already standing at the pinnacle of the world. Why would he still have so much desire towards resources? Him doing so is of course for the millions of martial artists in the Fierce Gale World!”
“Heh heh, you fool! Just a Boundless Realm. He’s standing at the top of the world? Still early! The greater one’s strength, the greater the requirements towards resources! Otherwise, he could have shattered the void and left long ago with his strength. Why is he still reluctant to leave the Lower Realms? Because he knows that if he went to the Divine Realm, he would only vanish into the faces of the crowd!” Ye Yuan said with a cold sneer.
Star Abyss wanted to refute but felt that any words were very feeble.
“This . . . Impossible!” Star Abyss said impossible, but he was already convinced in his heart.
“Hur hur. Although you’re the Alchemist Association’s Association Head, your strength is not there yet. There are still many things that you don’t know. But he, as the ruler of a world, knows way more things than you do! Don’t look at how you can summon rain and clouds in the capital. After you ascend to the Divine Realm, you’re also just a servant. The intensity of the competition in the Divine Realm is what the current you simply cannot imagine! The vast majority of the martial artists who ascend would croak before even enduring pass the initial stage after going to the Divine Realm,” Ye Yuan said with a laugh.
Ye Yuan spoke indifferently. But Star Abyss’s hair stood on its ends from shock after hearing it.
To him, the Divine Realm was a holy and pure land; a paradise.
There were limitless cultivation resources over there and countless powerhouses. It was the playground for martial artists and alchemists.
But Ye Yuan’s words shattered all of his fantasies to smithereens.
“But . . . I’m in charge of a world’s Alchemist Association. There’s also hard work even if I haven’t performed meritorious deeds, right? Can it be that the Alchemist Association completely doesn’t care about my life and death at all?” Star Abyss asked in bewilderment.
“Of course they care! The Divine Realm’s resources are indeed abundant until you can’t imagine it. However, there are also so many martial artists that you can’t imagine it. Alchemists are similarly so many that you can’t imagine it! Especially in a place like the Alchemist Association. It has the strongest bunch of alchemists in the Divine Realm. The alchemists that ascend are also countless. If resources are distributed equally, then the Alchemist Association would not have been able to make ends meet. Although you also have some cleverness in trivial matters, you’re still a lot worse compared to Li Daohang. Do you feel that you can get the Alchemist Association’s emphasis?”
Ye Yuan’s words were like a small hammer, shattering Star Abyss’s glass heart bit by bit.
Star Abyss felt like his world outlook instantly disintegrated; his entire being lost his bearings.
People were aware of their own affairs. Star Abyss’s talent in alchemy might be top-notch in the Fierce Gale World, but there were countless lower planes. He was nothing impressive among them and even less of a something after reaching the Divine Realm.
Ye Yuan saying that he would go to the Alchemist Association to do menial labor was possibly already giving him face!
“Then . . . Then what should I do?” Star Abyss was utterly confused.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Li Daohang was smarter than you and more talented than you. So he did not join the Alchemist Association. His skin was also thick enough to beg me to take him in. But you’ve already stuck on the Alchemist Association’s label and can only pave a bloody path for yourself. The prerequisite is that you have the capabilities!”

Star Abyss was completely befuddled!
In truth, the Fierce Gale World’s Alchemist Association basically had no relations with the Divine Realm.
This seemed to be a forgotten land.
Of course, this could not be blamed on others either. Who asked the Fierce Gale World’s Alchemy Path to be very underdeveloped?
Hence, Star Abyss’s understanding of the Divine Realm was entirely fantasized by himself.
He only knew how naïve he was after listening to Ye Yuan’s words now.
Star Abyss did not doubt Ye Yuan’s words, because his words were the most logical! It was just that he imagined it without basis to give himself an intense psychological hint that the Divine Realm was a beautiful place.
Yet, this was simply impossible.
Straightening out his thinking, Star Abyss suddenly bowed towards Ye Yuan and said respect
fully, “Star Abyss is ignorant! Senior, please point out the right path!”
Unknowingly, Star Abyss already took Ye Yuan to be an old monster like existence, and quietly changed his form of address.
Ye Yuan reached out a hand to prop him up and said with a sigh, “You’re also aware of what happened to me now. How can I dare to receive your solemn grace? I think you also know that me saying this is actually just in order for you to let me off and to carry on living. This is far from showing you the right part, but I can still manage to let you ascend to the Divine Realm.”
Knowing when to stop and go over the limit was as bad as falling short.
The disparity in strength between Ye Yuan and Star Abyss was too great. He wasted his breath talking until now in order to make Star Abyss open his mouth to beg him.
As long as Star Abyss required Ye Yuan’s assistance, he naturally would not harm him.
One must not have malicious intentions, but also must not be without caution against others. Although he had Li Daohang this layer of relationship between Star Abyss, Ye Yuan had to take precaution against him.
Only by arousing the desire within Star Abyss’s heart could he guarantee complete success.
Indeed, when Star Abyss heard these words, he became unbelievably agitated!
“How will Senior teach me?” Star Abyss asked excitedly.
“You’re Li Daohang’s disciple. I believe you do not lack in soul cultivation techniques. But you’re only at the middle-stage sovereign level today, indicating that it’s already very hard for you to break through again,” Ye Yuan said.
Star Abyss had an abashed look as he said, “I’ve lost face for Master.”
Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, “Lost what face? That boy himself wasn’t much either. Followed me for a hundred years and didn’t even break through to the Alchemy Emperor Realm. That’s called losing face! The Fierce Gale World’s resources are sparse, and it’s indeed not suitable for alchemists to break through. For you to be able to cultivate to such a realm was already not very easy.”
This was not Ye Yuan deliberately posturing in front of Star Abyss. The Medicine King Hall truly had many Alchemy Emperor experts.
The person that he brought along for a hundred years had yet to break through to the Alchemy Emperor Realm. This made him feel very ashamed.
Alchemy Emperor Realm was not the pinnacle for alchemists. It was only another beginning. Similarly being an Alchemy Emperor expert, there was a distance of a heavenly chasm between Ye Yuan and the rest.
From low-rank to peak Alchemy Emperor, this was a gulf that many people could not cross in their entire lives!
Ye Yuan was famed as the person most likely to become an Alchemy God precisely because his speed when breaking through to peak Alchemy Emperor was too quick!
So swift that it made those long renowned peak Alchemy Emperor powerhouses perspire from shame!
Hearing Ye Yuan scold Li Daohang once again, Star Abyss wished that he did not hear it. Right now, he could only pretend to not have heard it and played possum as he said, “Could it be that Senior has a way to let me break through to Perfection Sovereign Level?”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Have you ever heard of Soul Meld Pill?”
Star Abyss’s entire body quivered, and he exclaimed in shock, “Senior can actually refine the Soul Meld Pill?! I’ve seen that before in the association’s records. That’s a legendary level Tier 5 medicinal pill!”
Ye Yuan curled his mouth and said, “You should have thrown away those lousy records in the Fierce Gale World long ago. How does the Soul Meld Pill count as some legendary level medicinal pill? You don’t think that an Alchemy Emperor can’t even refine a Tier 5 medicinal pill, right?”
“Cough, cough, cough . . .” Star Abyss nearly choked and said, “Star Abyss’s knowledge is shallow. I’ve incurred ridicule from Senior.”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “But, I can only give you an empty promise. My current strength can’t refine it at all. After I have sufficient strength, I’ll come and find you.”
Star Abyss was overjoyed and said, “No worries, no worries! Star Abyss can afford to wait! Oh, right, Senior previously said that Master he . . . What does that mean?”
Ye Yuan gave Star Abyss a look and said with an emotional sigh, “Looks like you still have some feelings toward Li Daohang that chap. At least his teachings were not in vain. However, I really don’t know how he’s like now. Back then, only a wisp of my soul escaped to the Endless World. I completely couldn’t care about other things.”
Li Daohang’s life and death was fully grasped in the hands of Ji Canglan.
If Ji Canglang carried out a large-scale cleansing crazily, Li Daohang’s little life would probably be very hard to preserve. If Ji Canglan still took into consideration some old feelings, Li Daohang might survive.
But Ye Yuan felt that the possibility of the latter was higher. It was just that he could not very well say it to Star Abyss.
Seeing Ye Yuan’s despondent expression, Star Abyss also knew that his question poked Ye Yuan’s sore spot. But he also secretly started worrying for Li Daohang.
. . . . . .
Coming out from Star Abyss’s place, Ye Yuan headed straight for Shi Haoran’s place. Before going in, he entrusted White Light to Shi Haoran.
However, when Ye Yuan came to Shi Haoran’s place, he did not see Shi Haoran’s silhouette, while White Light was being hugged in the embrace of an extremely beautiful girl with a face full of grievance.
Beside the girl stood a handsome and suave yellow shirt youth.
“Hehe, you can’t escape from the palm of my hands this time, right, little white tiger?” Shangguan Lingxue said playfully.
Shangguan Lingxue had Sea Transformation Realm strength. How could White Light contend with that?
Under Shangguan Lingxue’s despotic power, White Light could only be in her embrace obediently.
Ye Yuan jumped in fright when he saw the situation. Wasn’t this girl the one who brought him into the capital? Why would she appear here?
The freaking thing was that Ye Yuan saw a boundless scenic view when he was kept under her skirt back then.
Now that he saw her in the flesh, Ye Yuan felt very awkward in his heart.
Ye Yuan instinctively wanted to dodge aside, but it was already too late. Shangguan Lingxue and that yellow shirt youth already saw him.
“Why are you, a servant, so ignorant of the rules? This place is a restricted pill refinement place. How can you freely enter and leave?” said the yellow shirt youth with a frown.
He knew all of Star Abyss’s seven great disciples. There wasn’t Ye Yuan at all. Plus, Ye Yuan’s strength was meager and his attire was ordinary. The yellow shirt youth subconsciously thought that Ye Yuan was a servant.
Ye Yuan furrowed his brows. This yellow shirt youth’s overbearing attitude made him very displeased.
Putting aside that Ye Yuan was not a servant, even if he really was a servant, there was no need to be like this either, right?
This sort of ordering people about with a gesture attitude made it seem like everyone owed him something. Was there a need for that?
Seeing Ye Yuan keeping silent, the yellow shirt youth was even more displeased. “What? Didn’t you hear what I said? Get lost!”
As he said, he flicked his sleeves. An extremely powerful force hurtled towards Ye Yuan. It actually wanted to forcefully push Ye Yuan outside!
This yellow shirt youth was at the Fifth Level Sea Transformation Realm. In his view, this move was naturally more than ample to deal with the Second Level Crystal Formation Realm Ye Yuan.
Yet, that force wind just howled past Ye Yuan’s body like this, while Ye Yuan was still standing there perfectly well without even moving a muscle!
Chapter 396

“En? You have quite a knack in doing things!”
The yellow shirt youth was slightly stunned. He did not think that
a mere Second Level Crystal Formation Realm could actually block the force of his flick so effortlessly.
“White Light, come here. Let’s go,” Ye Yuan was disinclined to bother with this wildly arrogant youth and lightly called out.
White Light gave a low roar and struggled free from Shangguan Lingxue’s embrace. In a blink of an eye, he arrived behind Ye Yuan, trying to hide.
“Mm? He’s called White Light? A very nice name. Is he a little white tiger that you’re raising?” Shangguan Lingxue blinked her eyes and asked Ye Yuan curiously.
“So what if yes?” Ye Yuan answered indecisively.
The yellow shirt youth’s actions made Ye Yuan rather displeased. The hate for the house extended even to the birds perching on it. Ye Yuan naturally did not have much favorable impression towards Shangguan Lingxue too.
Shangguan Lingxue had yet to speak when the yellow shirt youth reprimanded, “Insolence! Do you know who she is? To actually dare to be so impudent!”
Ye Yuan looked at him indifferently and said, “Impudent? I wonder who’s the one shouting and wrangling here, reversing the order of host and guest? Still say that others are impudent?”
The yellow shirt youth sneered coldly and said, “Reversing the order of host and guest? You mean that you’re the owner of this place? I wonder since when did Sovereign Star Abyss’s dojo become your territory?”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “You don’t know? It’s something not long ago.”
Since when had the yellow shirt youth suffered such provocation? He laughed from extreme anger and said, “Good! I’ll lug you before Sovereign Star Abyss and ask him if this place is your territory!”
Shangguan Lingxue was greatly alarmed and hurriedly said, “Your Highness, Seventh Prince, don’t!”
But it was already too late. Seventh Prince arrived beside Ye Yuan at lightning speed!
“Be careful! Ahh!” Shangguan Lingxue could not bear to see Ye Yuan’s tragic state and closed her eyes as if she was in pain.
But it was only to hear a whistle. Then there was silence.
Several breaths had passed, yet, Shangguan Lingxue did not hear any activities. She could not help opening her eyes curiously.
