Ye Yuan’s eyes gradually focused. In his sight was a thin and emaciated old man.
“You’re . . . the black-clothed person?” Ye Yuan hesitated for a moment and asked.
This old man’s appearance was very scary. The wrinkles on his face were practically bunching together already, looking very hideous.
“This old man is Long Teng.”
Ye Yuan’s expression changed, and he asked, “Could Senior be a member of the dragon race?”
Long Teng’s face revealed surprise, and he came to a realization right after, “You, this boy, are indeed astute. However . . . this old man has never taken himself to be a member of the dragon race.”
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “Senior’s dragon race martial techniques are at the acme of perfection and also crowned with the surname of Long (dragon). If I can’t even guess this, then I’d also be too stupid!”
There were many people with the surname of Long. But to be able to cultivate the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, such a heaven-defying martial technique, to such a level, he was absolutely not an ordinary person.
The Divine Realm’s dragon race was a very powerful race. Ye Yuan naturally linked this old man in front of him to this race.
It was just that from Long Teng’s words, one could also guess that his direct relationship with the dragon race was probably not that simple.
Even though Ye Yuan was very curious, he did not plan on rashly posing questions either. This violated taboos greatly.
“Fine lad, I’m very curious just how did you comprehend the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm?”
This period of time where Ye Yuan was unconscious, what Long Teng could not figure out after racking his brains was this problem.
One had to know that he spent far more than several thousand years of effort on this martial technique.
But Ye Yuan only used a few short days and comprehended it.
Furthermore, he knew that Ye Yuan did not rehearse the palm art at all. He meditated in the eighth level the entire time.
This was too strange!
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “The last three levels were all guarded with the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm. Moreover, when Senior Long was using the move, you were very deliberate, as if intentionally letting me have a clear view. Then, the turning point to clearing the ninth level could naturally only be on this Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.”
With this Long Teng’s strength, that level of Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm at the seventh level and eighth level could only be to demonstrate the rudiments of the skill.
Hearing Ye Yuan’s words, Long Teng nodded his head slightly and said, “You punk, such a keen mind. But these few days, I saw that you have been meditating all along and did not rehearse at all.”
Ye Yuan smiled and pointed at his head and said, “All of the rehearsing was all in here!”
Seeing Long Teng’s puzzled look, Ye Yuan continued, “Actually, after I found the method to maneuver true dragon’s strength, I’ve been pondering on how to grasp the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm the entire time. Later on, I discovered that when Senior execute your moves, you will release a kind of special undulation at specific times. So I guessed that the key to this Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was here. And my seclusion these few days was constantly seeking this sort of undulation.”
Long Teng’s gaze turned intent, and he said in surprise, “You . . . You can actually perceive dragon wave?”
“Turns out that is called dragon wave? It’s very appropriate!” Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Long Teng sucked in a deep breath and said, “All of the dragon race’s martial techniques are all released with dragon wave. It’s just according to the differences in strength and weakness of the martial technique, the dragon wave’s vibration frequency would be different, that’s all. The Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm is an extremely powerful martial technique in the dragon race too. The magnitude of the dragon wave even reaches Heaven Rank. The first time you used dragon wave, you’re actually able to infinitely approach Heaven Rank magnitude!”
But these words made Ye Yuan stunned, “Uh . . . Is it very difficult?”
Hearing these words, Long Teng choked up, and the words at the back were forcefully swallowed back down.
Seeing that conflicted face of Long Teng’s becoming even more troubled, Ye Yuan also realized that this seemed to be pretty hard.
“Do you know how many years I used to cultivate dragon wave to Heaven Rank?” Long Teng said with a black face.
Ye Yuan replied weakly, “Five years?”
Long Teng choked up again and almost could not breathe.
He only recovered to his senses after some time and said to Ye Yuan with a glare, “One hundred years!”

Ye Yuan himself was very muddled as well.
He only sought out the method to execute the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm according to Long Teng’s demonstration. He completely did not know what was called dragon wave and also did not know how hard dragon wave was to practice.
It was only after hearing Long Teng said so did Ye Yuan finally know why the other party had this sort of want to strangle him to death expression.
This was the first time he used dragon wave, and it actually reached a standard of infinitely approaching Heaven Rank, while a pinnacle expert like Long Teng actually used a hundred years!
Ye Yuan’s expression was slightly awkward as he said, “H-Haha, Senior Long, I’m a blind cat bumping into a dead rat. To really let me train, I’d probably need to train for a hundred years too.”
Who knew that Long Teng’s face became black again. He billowed his beard and glared as he said huffily, “Don’t give this old man that crap! Do you think that attaining Heaven Rank dragon wave in one hundred years is already very noob?”
Ye Yuan gave an awkward smile. But Long Teng could tell what he thought from his expression too.
“When this old man was younger, I was known as the dragon race’s number one genius! For ordinary people to want to cultivate dragon wave to Heaven Rank, they need at least 300 years! If not for . . . forget it, not talking about those stale topics of conversation,” Long Teng said and waved his hand.
“Cough cough, Senior Long, I didn’t mean that,” Ye Yuan said embarrassedly.
“Forget it, forget it. What you mean, do I still not know? You’re a freak! But it doesn’t mean that everyone is a freak! Let me tell you; this dragon wave is divided into six boundaries. Yellow Rank, Mystic Rank, Earth Rank, Heaven Rank, Spirit Rank, and Divine Rank. Although your Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm is nondescript, the dragon wave had indeed reached the boundary of Peak Earth Rank. With this level, you cultivating the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm will yield twice the results with half the effort,” Long Teng said.
Ye Yuan was completely ignorant about the dragon race’s cultivation methods. Hearing Long Teng’s words at this time, he became interested.
That nondescript Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm that he executed previously already reached that kind of power. Then how powerful did the true Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm have to be?
This point, one could tell by looking at the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm Long Teng unleashed.
Although Ye Yuan could not reach that level within a short time, if he learned it, then that would absolutely be one of his greatest trumps now. It would even surpass the Myriad Rain Sword Blades!
Furthermore . . . Hearing Long Teng’s meaning, he had decent talent in cultivating the dragon race’s martial techniques.
This moved Ye Yuan even more.
One had to know that this Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm cultivated to the highest level was absolutely not worse than supreme true intents.
“Senior Long, this Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm . . .” Ye Yuan asked with a smile
.
Long Teng gave an ugly smile and said, “Relax, this Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm is one of the rewards for clearing the ninth level! If it’s not taught to you, then what would I expend so much effort for?”
“One of . . . the rewards?” Ye Yuan’s eyes lit up.
The Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was already a very formidable martial technique. At least with Ye Yuan’s understanding, training this move to the pinnacle level was absolutely not worse compared to the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art’s Nine Suns Burning Heaven.
If this was just one of the rewards for clearing the ninth level, then what was the final reward?
Long Teng clearly guessed Ye Yuan’s thoughts and said with a nod, “That’s right, this is just one of the rewards for clearing the ninth level! As for this final reward . . . aren’t you very bright? You can make a guess.”
No idea where this old man’s mood to play came from, to actually play a guessing game with Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan was thrown into a daze by this old man too and started ruminating.
After a dozen over breaths, Ye Yuan lifted his head abruptly and looked at Long Teng with exceedingly doubtful eyes.
“Senior Long, it can’t be . . .” Ye Yuan did not quite dare to trust his own judgment himself.
He had kept on thinking of how to clear these final three levels all along, so he simply did not think in this direction.
But now, Long Teng was being vague. Under Ye Yuan’s contemplating, he thought of a certain possibility.
Except, this kind of possibility, even he himself did not quite dare believe it.
But thinking it over and over again, only this possibility was the most likely too!
Long Teng looked at Ye Yuan and said with a smile, “It can’t be what? Say it out for me to hear.”
Ye Yuan drew a deep breath and asked probingly, “V-Vast Heaven Pagoda?”
Long Teng shot Ye Yuan an approving look and said smilingly, “You only guessed half of it correctly! This ninth level’s true reward is the Vast Heaven Stele!”
“Vast Heaven Stele?” Ye Yuan said in surprise.
In Ye Yuan’s view, the Vast Heaven Stele was just a part of the Vast Heaven Pagoda. At the very most, it was just a very critical component.
The reason why the Vast Heaven Stele had the effect of aiding martial artists in enhancing their concepts was only that the Vast Heaven Pagoda endowed it this ability.
“That’s right! People all think that the Vast Heaven Pagoda is a profound and mystical object, but don’t know that this Vast Heaven Pagoda’s true core is the Vast Heaven Stele and not this pagoda. This Vast Heaven Pagoda was actually only forged in order to conceal the Vast Heaven Stele!” Long Teng said words which surprised Ye Yuan greatly.
In Ye Yuan’s understanding, the Vast Heaven Stele was just a part of the Vast Heaven Pagoda. The effects of the Vast Heaven Stele were all granted by the Vast Heaven Pagoda.
But hearing Long Teng’s meaning, could it be that it was not like this?
Seeing Ye Yuan’s doubtful eyes, Long Teng said coolly, “Let me tell you a story then.”
Ye Yuan hurriedly said, “Pray tell!”
One could also know without the need to guess that this story was related to the Vast Heaven Pagoda and Vast Heaven Stele’s origins.
Seeing Ye Yuan’s knowledge seeking appearance, Long Teng nodded his head contently and started to talk tirelessly.
The story happened over 50 thousand years ago. And the main character of that story likewise appeared in the Endless World.
That youth was called Fang Tian. In an accident, he obtained a piece of rock.
Ever since then, he started to soar up into the sky with a start, becoming this small world’s king very quickly.
After ascending to the Divine Realm, Fang Tian still advanced with rapid strides and songs on his lips, becoming a peak powerhouse in the Divine Realm very quickly.
At that time, a heaven-defying treasure appeared in the Divine Realm. Its name was Vast Heaven Pagoda!
Fang Tian relied on this treasure to roam the Divine Realm unhindered; undefeatable by anyone!
Yet, the rise of a powerhouse was bound to be accompanied by blood and slaughter.
During this process, Fang Tian rescued a severely wounded azure dragon on the verge of death in an accident arising from many causes.
Ever since then, the one dragon and one human threw the entire Divine Realm into an upheaval.
Finally, Fang Tian provoked an extremely powerful fiend path faction at that time. And this faction’s strongest person was known as the Heavenly Fiendgod.
50 thousand years ago, a great paramount battle unfolded between Fang Tian and the Heavenly Fiendgod.
That battle could be said to astound heaven and earth and make gods and ghosts weep, throwing the entire Divine Realm into pandemonium.
Except that both sides’ battle concluded with both parties suffering great losses. The Heavenly Fiendgod fled with heavy injuries, his whereabouts unknown.
While Fang Tian with severe injuries vanished from the Divine Realm ever since.
Then 40 thousand years later, a heaven-defying inheritance space appeared in the Endless World. That was the Vast Heaven Inheritance!
Ever since, countless geniuses fell over each other to enter the Vast Heaven Inheritance, in hopes of obtaining the Vast Heaven Pagoda’s ultimate inheritance.
It was just that the so-called geniuses in this small world were simply unable to complete the nine-level hurdles which the Vast Heaven Pagoda owner set.
All the way until today, Ye Yuan’s appearance finally completed this task which nobody had ever accomplished before, obtaining the final inheritance!
Chapter 588 - Vast Heaven Pagoda’s New Owner
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
This story lasted for 50 thousand years, all the way till today.
Long Teng said it very briefly, but Ye Yuan did not find it brief at all when he listened.
Ye Yuan’s knowledge and experience were far from this. So he could totally discern just how soul-stirring Long Teng’s sketched over contents were.
“Then Senior Fang Tian he . . .” Ye Yuan inquired.
Long Teng shook his head and said, “That fellow threw the Vast Heaven Stele here, and his whereabouts became unknown. And I was afflicted with a deadly poison during that battle as well, that’s why I turned into this manner. If not for hiding inside this Vast Heaven Pagoda, I’d have already become a withered skeleton long ago.”
Ye Yuan nodded slightly. Looks like that great battle 50 thousand years ago was really abnormally cruel. Even Long Teng, this level of expert, ended up in this miserable state.
“Then Senior Fang Tian . . . was he a Deity Realm powerhouse?” Ye Yuan carried some agitation as he asked.
“Huhu, how can Deity Realm be so easy to reach? Under this stretch of heaven, it is already incapable of giving birth to Deity Realm powerhouses again!” Long Teng said with a sigh/
Ye Yuan’s expression changed, and he inquired, “May I ask Senior why is this so?”
Long Teng shook his head and said, “Divine Realm powerhouses disappeared from the Divine Realm overnight. Since then, only legends of the Divine Realm was left behind. To talk about the reason, probably only they know it, right?”
Hearing this answer, Ye Yuan was quite disappointed too.
Deity Realm was his life’s aspiration. Barely managed to see a trace of hope, and it was shattered again.
But he was still unresigned as he said, “This Vast Heaven Stele should exceed Divine King standards, right? Furthermore, that Vast Heaven Stele has an extraordinary background. Could it be that such an existence still couldn’t reach the level of Deity Realm?”
Long Teng shook his head and said, “Can’t reach! Deity Realm is far more powerful than you imagine. Fang Tian thought that he already reached Deity Realm back then too. But later on, he discovered that that was simply not the case.”<
br />
Ye Yuan’s expression changed and suddenly recalled the words that father, Ji Zhengyang, said to him on his deathbed.
Because he obtained the Medicine God’s Soul Canon when he was still living, his divine soul reached a very abstruse boundary.
Could it be that for martial artists’ cultivation, there were still even stronger realms above Divine King?
The more Ye Yuan thought, the more baffled he became and felt that he was less and less able to see through this world.
Long Teng saw Ye Yuan’s look of dilemma and said smilingly, “No need to be bewildered on this sort of thing. You only have Sea Transformation Realm strength right now. Thinking about this is a bit too distant. Being down-to-earth is still better.”
Ye Yuan was stunned and laughed in spite of himself as he said, “What senior said is right. Ye Yuan was impetuous. Senior Long, could your meaning previously be that this Vast Heaven Stele will belong to me from now on?”
“That’s right!”
Long Teng reached his hand out and beckoned. The Vast Heaven Stele appeared before Ye Yuan.
“Before that fellow left, he already removed his own brand. You only have to drip your own blood essence on it, and you can refine it to acknowledge an owner.” Long Teng said.
Ye Yuan was stupefied as he said, “So simple?”
“En, it’s that simple. Logically speaking, such a heaven-defying treasure should be very hard to refine. But it’s just this simple! When you grasp the Vast Heaven Stele, you can control the Vast Heaven Pagoda. But with your current realm, you can’t unleash its power at all.” Long Teng said.
“Heh, no matter what, collect first before talking!”
Ye Yuan was not courteous either. He dripped a drop of blood essence on the Vast Heaven Stele. The Vast Heaven Stele immediately erupted with rays of brilliant light.
Right at this moment, Ye Yuan felt that he had established a kind of inexplicable connection with the Vast Heaven Stele.
Evidently, he had already become this Vast Heaven Stele’s owner.
Except that Ye Yuan suddenly discovered that even though he became the Vast Heaven Stele’s owner, he was still utterly clueless about it.
