A hundred, eighty years to have some accomplishments, this was already a tremendously high appraisal of Ye Yuan.
One had to know that for a Divine King powerhouse in the Divine Realm, if he could comprehend the Scorching Supreme True Intent during his lifetime, his strength would be an immensely powerful existence among Divine Kings.
Ye Yuan being able to have some accomplishments in eighty to a hundred years, such an appraisal could not be said to not be high.
180 days in comparison to a hundred, eighty years, was truly just a twinkle. Even wanting to cross the threshold was very challenging.
. . . . . .
Time flew by quickly in the inheritance space for Ye Yuan. In the outside world, only a few short days had passed.
As expected, Qin Yan and Yin Yanhua were both killed in the fifth level by the Illusionary Spirits Killing Array and kicked out of the Vast Heaven Pagoda.
When they heard that Ye Yuan cleared the first six levels perfectly, each one of them was shocked until they could not close their mouths.
Apart from the two of them, Qi Hai even let Liu Hong and Guo Taoqun stay.
These four strongest people of the junior generation were all now beside Qi Hai.
“The four of you, just cultivate in seclusion here. I’ll safeguard you guys. You all should have much comprehension and benefits in the Vast Heaven Pagoda. Entering seclusion at this time is the most optimum period. The outside world’s matters naturally have those Divine Traversing Realm experts to go and worry over. Having the few of you more to join them won’t have much impact,” Qi Hai said to the four people.
“Yes, Old Hai.” The four people acknowledged in unison.
“Old Hai, did you keep us behind for the sake of cultivation?” Guo Taoqun plucked up his courage and asked weakly.
Although they were the strongest ones among the junior generation, in front of Qi Hai, they were still out-and-out juniors.
This Old Hai before their eyes was a legendary-class expert; he was an existence even more powerful than their old ancestors.
Qi Hai said coolly, “It’s naturally not just for cultivation. I kept you guys behind in order to wait for Ye Yuan to come out.”
Qi Hai did not hide it either, directly saying out his true intentions.
“Wait for Ye Yuan?” Liu Hong was a bit stunned.
Guo Taoqun and the others were not surprised at all. They had clearly expected it to some extent long ago.
Actually, Liu Hong was still extremely dejected in his heart right now. Although he achieved the goal of shocking everyone with one move this Vast Heaven Pagoda trip this time, he never would have thought that an existence a hundred times, a thousand times more monstrous than him would actually emerge too.
Under Ye Yuan’s halo, his sense of existence was weakened to the extreme.
This kind of psychological depression, he could not talk to others either. He could only be depressed by himself secretly.
In the end, he was held back by Qi Hai and was even chuckling to himself for a bit secretly, thinking that he was going to get Old Hai’s heavy grooming.
Who knew that he would hear Qi Hai say so right now, that he only let the few of them stayed behind for the sake of Ye Yuan.
This made the little bit of hope that just sprung up for him be extinguished again mercilessly.
Qi Hai was shrewd and experienced with age. How could he not perceive Liu Hong’s emotions?
But he just treated as if he did not see and said coolly, “Ye Yuan’s gains in this Vast Heaven Pagoda trip this time is definitely more than what we imagine. After he comes out this time, he’ll become the indisputable leader of your junior generation! I believe that in the near future, he might become the entire Endless World’s young people’s idol! This point, you all need to have a clear understanding yourselves. I know that the four of you are all proud individuals and arrogant at heart. But in front of Ye Yuan, you guys don’t have the capital to be arrogant in the least bit! Do you understand?”
The Qin Yan trio all nodded their heads slightly when they heard that. They had long already accepted this fact.
Ye Yuan’s rising speed was seriously too fast. They could not catch up even by whipping their horses.
The martial artist world had always been a world which talked using strength. Ye Yuan already used his strength to utterly conquer these so-called strongest people in the junior generation.
Especially when they saw that scene of Ye Yuan killing the illusionary spirits in the fifth level. It simply made them unable to give rise to the desire to chase after.
Yet, before entering the Vast Heaven Pagoda, Liu Hong had not heard of Ye Yuan before at all. This made him feel in his heart some difficulties to adapt to things.
Qi Hai’s words were actually primarily said for him to hear.
“En?”
Qi Hai frowned slightly. Liu Hong involuntarily shuddered and hurriedly said, “Old Hai, Liu Hong understands!”
Qi Hai nodded his head and continued, “The purpose of me making you guys stay behind is very simple. The realm war has already started in full-scale now. From now onwards, the four of you have to keep on following by Ye Yuan’s side, and listen to his instructions! You don’t need to look at me with those eyes. I’m not asking you guys to break away from your own sects, but I am taking into consideration for the sake of your futures, and for the sake of the Endless World’s future! Following by his side, you will receive endless benefits!”

“Of course, I won’t force you guys to stay by his side. If you yourselves aren’t willing, you can leave right now.”
Finished talking, Qi Hai pulled out a flask of wine calmly and went to the stone table by the side to start pouring himself a cup to drink on his own.
This was the Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew that Ye Yuan gave him. This time, he specially brought it along with him.
He knew that these four people would definitely be very conflicted and surely would not have an answer for a short while.
Forget about Liu Hong; the other three people were all the top proud children of heaven of a world, gathering millions of gazes on them.
Even if they admired Ye Yuan very much right now, it also did not represent that they were willing to be Ye Yuan’s underlings, listening to Ye Yuan’s assignment for every matter.
But Qi Hai had his own considerations. Ye Yuan had never belonged to the Endless World. He was destined to radiate splendor in the Divine Realm!
With Ye Yuan’s current improvement speed, he believed that this day would not be too distant.
Maybe 10 years, but even so, the maximum would not exceed 20 years!
However, to talk about where the Endless World’s final hope lay, that was absolutely Ye Yuan!
Zhao Tianyin this Boundless Realm existence was akin to a gigantic mountain pressing down on Qi Hai’s heart.
Once the realm passageway was completely stabilized and the Wind Emperor personally descended upon the Endless World, it would probably be hard for him, a Realmlord, to survive as well.
Initially, he was constantly worrying about this matter, all the way until he saw Ye Yuan’s spectacular performance in the Vast Heaven Pagoda this time!
Yes! Qi Hai was completely awe-inspired!
Perfect Completion two consecutive times and directly making it into the seventh level!
Such a result, not say that it would never be seen again, but it was absolutely unprecedented!
Moreover, in just this half a month’s time, Ye Yuan already broke through multiple realms in a row, breaking through to middle-stage Sea Transformation.
Such cultivation speed, who could guarantee that he would be incapable of having the strength to contend with the Wind Emperor before he descended?
An Endless World youth being able to obtain a Divine Realm’s inheritance was no doubt impressive. But Ye Yuan’s extraordinarines
s was clearly not due to this. The most remarkable thing about Ye Yuan was not the Divine Realm inheritance, but that remarkable talent of his! It was himself!
Qi Hai dared to confirmed that even if the Divine Realm’s legacies landed on these four people before his eyes, they absolutely could not reach Ye Yuan’s level either!
After all, no matter how incredible the legacy, it also needed the martial artist to go and comprehend concepts bit by bit, to go and cultivate essence energy.
Essence energy cultivation was hard to say. But this sort of thing like concepts comprehension, it required talent.
The reason why Ye Yuan was powerful was that his concepts comprehension threw these few people in front of him multiple streets behind!
And to make these four people follow Ye Yuan was also hoping that they could become the Endless World’s future hope; it was to let them mature even faster and become even stronger!
If they could not let go of the pride in their hearts, Qi Hai could not help them either.
“Okay! I’ll stay behind to follow Ye Yuan!”
What made Qi Hai rather surprised was that the first one to speak up was actually the Qin Yan who had a grudge with Ye Yuan.
“I’m staying!”
“I’m staying too!”
Guo Taoqun and Yin Yanhua practically followed right after. But Liu Hong became rather hesitant.
This sort of situation now was far too drastically different from what he predicted before coming to the Vast Heaven Pagoda.
He did not think that he actually had to be a lackey for a youth much younger than him now.
“I . . .” Liu Hong revealed a difficult look and became hesitant to speak.
Qi Hai gave him a sidelong glance and said coolly, “No need to be conflicted. Willing means willing. Unwilling means unwilling. I won’t make things difficult for you just because you choose to leave. Furthermore, I came up with this idea at the last minute as well and still haven’t discussed it with Ye Yuan yet. Whether he’s willing to or not is still another matter altogether!”
This matter was indeed what he conceived impromptu. The Fierce Gale World’s abnormal activities made him rather uneasy.
No matter which angle one analyzed from, the move of massacring cities was the dumbest one. But were the Fierce Gale World folks really a bunch of fools?
This Liu Hong’s talent was indeed decent. That was why Qi Hai had the thought of keeping him behind together with the others.
“Actually, you don’t need to feel wronged. I believe you’ve perceived it too; Ye Yuan’s talent and strength, you won’t be able to catch up for the rest of your life too. When he cleared the fifth level, he already had that kind of strength. The second Perfect Clear this time, it’s still uncertain what kind of heaven-defying rewards he obtained. Coming out of the Vast Heaven Pagoda this time, he’s already on a completely different level of martial artist from us. Following him won’t bring disgrace to you. Maybe there might come a day where you would even be proud because of today’s choice!” At this time, Qin Yan suddenly voiced out to urge.
Qi Hai glugged a mouthful of Immortal Remembrance Jade Brew and said with a smile, “Not maybe. It’s definitely!”
Liu Hong finally sighed slightly and said to Qi Hai, “Okay, I’ll stay behind!”
“Alright. Since that’s the case, you guys each enter seclusion to comprehend then.”
Regarding Liu Hong’s choice, Qi Hai was not very surprised.
This person was not someone stupid. Or else, he would not have his present accomplishments either. How he should choose, he was actually very clear in his heart. It was just that he could not cross this hurdle in his heart.
As long as the gains and losses were analyzed clearly, he could make a wise choice.
. . . . . .
In a blink, Ye Yuan had already spent over five months in the snow-covered land of ice.
In these five months plus, Ye Yuan was frozen to death many times. Each time was death because of depleting essence energy.
In order to not freeze to death, Ye Yuan thought of countless ways. Yet, it yielded very little success.
In the beginning, Ye Yuan released the Scorching True Intent to maintain his body temperature. He discovered that this way would exhaust essence energy very quickly and die.
Later on, Ye Yuan became wiser. He only maintained the released true intent at a very low level to barely ensure that he would not be frozen to death. But that sort of extremely cold feeling made him exceptionally clear-minded.
That bone-piercing chill made him have limitless despair!
But Ye Yuan still toughed it out!
Under Heart Like Still Water heart realm, Ye Yuan gingerly maintained the feeble true intent to resist the freezing cold.
Gradually, Ye Yuan finally touched upon some know-how!
Ye Yuan discovered that he could sense the Scorching True Intent’s true essence more clearly under such a condition!
Even though this sort of feeling was still extremely fuzzy, at least he had a direction to strive towards; it was not hazy like before.
These few days, Ye Yuan had been fastidiously experiencing the Scorching True Intent all along, and he gradually had some understanding in his heart.
Heat was a kind of energy release. When the temperature was not high, this sort of release would not produce too much destructive power.
But once the temperature rose to an extremely terrifying level, the destructive force of that Scorching True Intent would be very alarming!
In the end, it was still how high a degree the martial artist could raise the temperature of the Scorching True Intent to!
The higher the temperature of the martial technique released, the greater the destructive power evidently caused!
Just like the Spirit Bristle Divine King’s Nine Suns Burning Heaven, its horrifying destructive power was not due to its large area-of-effect, but it was because he could raise the temperature within a certain sphere of influence to an extremely terrifying level.
A level that was able to obliterate Divine King powerhouses!
How profound a concept did that have to be?!
The present Ye Yuan was clearly still far off!
Figuring out this link, Ye Yuan no longer used the Scorching Concept to maintain his own body temperature anymore!
Chapter 578 - Preliminary Peep at the Door
“Flame Movement Carnage!”
Ye Yuan released all of his essence energy, wanting to shatter this world of ice and snow.
Yet, everything was futile. His Flame Movement Carnage was incapable of stirring up even a drop of sea spray.
But Ye Yuan did not have the intention of giving up. He swung his fists like this over and over again, repeatedly like a moth flying into the fire, all the way until he froze to death.
Then once more!
Ye Yuan already could not remember how many times he had died and how many punches he had swung.
Either way, every time he swung his fists, he had to go all out to release the Scorching True Intent to the limits!
“Still a little bit more! Just a tiny bit!”
These countless times of swinging his fists was not a wasted effort. Continuously persisting in the state of his limits, this made his utilization of the Scorching True Intent become even more practiced. The understanding became deeper too.
And now, Ye Yuan finally felt that he was gradually going to touch that threshold!
This feeling made him excited, yet dejected. He was excited that the Scorching Supreme True Intent’s gate was right in front of him; but feeling dejected that this step kept on being distant just like the end of the world for very long, unable to break through for a long time.
How could the gate to a supreme true intent be so easy to step inside?
But what Ye Yuan lacked the least was patience. In his previous life, in order to research a type of medicinal pill, he would even perform up to a million dreary experiments.
If there were not this s
ort of grinding process, he could not possibly have become the Divine Realm’s youngest peak Alchemy Emperor either.
This bit right now was simply just child’s play to him.
Just like this, his fists danced about over and over again, seeking that sensation of breakthrough bit by bit.
By the time it was the 170th day, Ye Yuan finally found a spark of inspiration!
Rumble!
Ye Yuan struck out a punch with all his might. The snowy-ice space finally underwent a trace of change!
It was this trace of change that made Ye Yuan inexplicably excited.
That punch earlier shattered that extreme cold very briefly!
Even though it was only for an extremely brief time, Ye Yuan sensed it clearly!
But this punch, likewise, exhausted all of his essence energy. Ye Yuan would be frozen to death very soon.
Reviving again, Ye Yuan did not attack randomly right away, but he meticulously visualized that sort of feeling just now.
Mustering strength, punching out, shattering space!
It was this sort of feeling!
Ye Yuan once again sensed that the instant the extreme cold was smashed, the extreme cold weather had that tiny hint of loosening up.
Although this sort of extreme cold was very stubborn and recaptured the position immediately, that kind of feeling absolutely would not be wrong!
“Heh heh, hard work pays off! Finally got a preliminary peep at the door!”
Even Ye Yuan himself could not help being proud of himself for a while either.
He only used a short 170 day’s time to get a preliminary peep at the door of the Scorching Supreme True Intent. This was absolutely a very remarkable achievement.
Even the Spirit Bristle Divine King back them spent at least several decades time to get a preliminary peep at the door of this supreme true intent.
As it was said: the first step was the hardest for everything. The hardest thing about comprehending concepts was not the process of comprehension, but finding the way to cross the threshold.
Even if Ye Yuan already comprehended the Scorching True Intent, to go a step further and achieve supreme true intent, it was another world.
