Ye Yuan’s rate of progress in refining the black metal lump today seemed to be much faster than before. Even though it was only one night, he actually refined one-tenth too.
At the rate of this progress, Ye Yuan still needed five day’s time to be able to thoroughly refine it completely.
Ye Yuan very much wanted to see what kind of transformation would happen to the golden characters at that time.
The competition in the following few days did not pose much of a challenge to Ye Yuan. Three consecutive days, Ye Yuan won all three matches completely.
After three days, Ye Yuan continued to firmly occupy the position in the first group on the ranking list with the battle result of nine complete victories.
While at this time, the contestants that had complete victories on the ranking list were only left with four people.
Li Zongtao ran into a powerful foe, Nalan Chu, on the third day’s battle. In the midst of fighting bitterly for over a hundred rounds, he was defeated in the end.
But to be able to force Nalan Chu to such a plight, Li Zongtao’s strength also obtained everyone’s affirmation.
Of course, apart from Ye Yuan, the one receiving the most attention was still Zhang Tianyi!
This Zhang Tianyi was the same as Ye Yuan; he was also from other division competition zone.
During these three days of matches, Zhang Tianyi repeatedly defeated powerful adversaries and kept on maintaining complete victories. His fame even overshadowed Ye Yuan.
Even though Ye Yuan also maintained complete victories, he did not run into any genuinely formidable foe in these three days.
But the fourth day’s competition, Ye Yuan encountered the most tenacious obstacle since the start of the competition.
The first battle on the fourth day, Ye Yuan ran into a genius called Han Feng!
He, Zhang Tianyi, and Ye Yuan were the same; there were similarly from other division competition zones. But unfortunately, he ran into Nalan Chu on the first day. Hence, that was why he was not tied in the first place.
Even though he lost in the end, he and Nalan Chu battled for 200 rounds; even more formidable than Li Zongtao!
“Ye Yuan, hope that you won’t disappoint me! I want to use you to sharpen the saber in my hand!” Right when he saw Ye Yuan, Han Feng released a powerful fighting intent.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “I won’t let you down!”
When the fight started, Ye Yuan felt that power coming from head-on.
This Han Feng’s strength was indeed absurdly daunting.
This Han Feng’s comprehension towards saber intent infinitely approached supreme true intent.
“This Han Feng seems to be even stronger than when fighting Nalan Chu! This time, Ye Yuan ran into a tough character. You never know, his momentum of consecutive wins might come to an end here!”
“Terrifying fellow. This blade after blade, the imposing momentum is overwhelming! Ye Yuan being able to receive such a berserk saber intent is also really not easy! He’s only Divine Traversing Realm. Wait until he breaks through to Boundless Realm, he’ll likely be invincible in the same rank. Even Nalan Chu might not be his match.”
“Yeah. This Ye Yuan was born at the wrong time. If I give him another one or two year’s time, he’ll absolutely have the strength to have a showdown with Nalan Chu. Sadly, his present cultivation realm is too low.”
“En? No, wait! You guys, look! Han Feng … seems to have broken through! He … He comprehended the elementary form of a supreme true intent!”
All of a sudden, someone exclaimed.
Han Feng’s saber momentum was more fearsome than the last. The final blade, Han Feng actually broke through the fetters and achieved a supreme true intent!
One saber out, and there was an aura of cleaving the world into two halves.
Ye Yuan seemed to have long expected this. Facing this move with an irresistible force, Ye Yuan’s longsword pointed. Immediately, the lands changed color!
An intangible sword intent flooded the entire platform as if the world was all sword intent!
The audience surrounding and watching beneath the stage, their expression changed again and again.
This battle was truly one wave higher than the former!
They originally thought that Ye Yuan lost for sure, but did not expect that Ye Yuan still had an even stronger move!
“Rending the Sky!”
Ye Yuan’s sword being released, it immediately utterly obliterated the supreme saber intent which Han Feng condensed and formed.
The whole audience was dead silent, all waiting for Han Feng’s counteroffensive to regain lost ground once more.
But no one could have expected for Han Feng to suddenly cup his fists at Ye Yuan and said, “Many thanks for Brother Ye helping me achieve my aim! Han Feng concedes! With Brother Ye’s strength, even if you don’t borrow the power of a holy artifact, it’s also sufficient to have a showdown with Nalan Chu!”
Everyone was taken aback from shock. Could it be that Ye Yuan intentionally guided Han Feng previously, and his action assisted Han Feng’s comprehension of a supreme true intent?

“This Ye Yuan is simply too strong!”
“Him comprehending a supreme true intent is absolutely not one or two days already. His comprehension in the supreme true intent is much stronger compared to Nalan Chu!”
“Nalan Chu, Ye Yuan, and Han Feng. This competition this time, there are actually already three genius youths who comprehended a supreme true intent!”
“My God, how can there be a monster like this? He, a Divine Traversing Realm, actually guided others to comprehend a supreme true intent!”
When everyone regained their senses, waves of marveling that feat erupted.
If Ye Yuan used Rending the Sky early on, he could have defeated Han Feng long ago.
But Ye Yuan saw through that Han Feng was just a step away from comprehending a supreme true intent. Hence, he willingly served as Han Feng’s sharpening stone, guiding skillfully and patiently in the battle, letting the other party stride out this most critical step!
What made everyone speechless was that after Han Feng comprehended the supreme true intent, he was actually still defeated by Ye Yuan!
Ye Yuan’s might could be seen at a glance.
Previously, everyone all thought that Ye Yuan was taking advantage of his weapon. But now, they finally knew just how formidable Ye Yuan’s strength was.
Just using the Xuanying Sword, Ye Yuan similarly could sit firmly in the first group.
“Hahaha, what did I say, this brat indeed concealed his strength! Tsk tsk, looking at it, his supreme true intent has probably reached the third-stage of supreme true intent already, maybe even fourth-stage! By the time his cultivation realm reaches the Dao Profound Realm, he can absolutely become a Divine King powerhouse!” on the high platform, First Elder said with a roaring laugh.
“First Elder’s discerning eyes are akin to burning torches! This Ye Yuan is indeed a peerless genius hard to encounter in a thousand years! It’s just …” that elder said rather hesitantly.
“It’s just what?” First Elder said curiously.
“It’s just that a genius like this, can our Crimson Afterglow Holy Land accommodate him? Furthermore … previously, in order to make him exhibit his true strength, you already offended him!”
“This …” First Elder was stunned and was actually at somewhat of a loss on what to do.
After comprehending the elementary form of a supreme true intent, it was only taking the first step to comprehending a supreme true intent, which was also the first-stage.
Supreme true intents were likewise divided from rank one to rank nine based on the degree of comprehension.
A rank nine supreme true intent was also called a perfect supreme true intent!
Once comprehension succeeded, the day of being known as a Di
vine King powerhouse was right around the corner.
If one comprehended the first-stage, they would have very high hopes of breaking through to the Dao Profound Realm!
About Ye Yuan’s Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword, although he only created four stances of sword moves, he actually already comprehended to the fifth-stage of supreme true intent.
First Elder’s evaluation of Ye Yuan was still a little conservative.
After this battle, Ye Yuan’s strength also obtained everybody’s recognition.
He was regarded as a monster even more freakish than Nalan Chu. He was a peerless genius with the capital to rival Nalan Chu at the Divine Traversing Realm.
Starting from this day, Ye Yuan and Nalan Chu’s showdown also became a highly-anticipated fight.
On the fourth day, Ye Yuan still won three battles completely. With the flawless victory battle results of twelve wins, he continued to be tied at first place with Nalan Chu and the rest.
Currently, Ye Yuan’s refinement of the black metal lump also reached the final juncture!
After the fifth day’s competition, Ye Yuan carried out the final refinement.
Finally, when the black metal lump was completely refined finish, the gold mark on the black metal lump finally revealed its original look!
Ye Yuan mind buzzed. The golden characters in his sea of consciousness formed an intense resonance with the black metal lump!
Ye Yuan discovered that on this black metal lump actually only had three characters. And out of these three characters, there were two characters among the golden characters.
The other one, Ye Yuan searched among the golden characters, but he did not find it.
Ye Yuan had already visualized these golden characters for a number of years. But these few years, his understanding of these golden characters, the progress was extremely slow.
These golden characters, each one contained extremely profound maxims of Great Dao. Ye Yuan kept failing to find the correct approach.
After refining the black metal lump this time, Ye Yuan actually sensed a trace of the lingering charm of the Dao from this intense resonance!
Even though it was just a tiny bit, it was very clear!
This sort of feeling could not be expressed using words. But Ye Yuan’s understanding towards these two characters deepened that tiny trace.
All of a sudden, Ye Yuan’s mind became more agile as luck hit, a feeling of needing to get it out of his chest.
“Mou …”
Ye Yuan used all the strength in his body and spat out a syllable.
The moment the syllable came out, the essence energy sea within Ye Yuan’s body was instantly drained, his entire person falling into an exhausted state.
And right at this time, Ye Yuan could clearly sense that his divine soul was actually continuously strengthening!
Although it was not too obvious, it was indeed truly becoming stronger!
“This … What’s going on?”
Ye Yuan did not care about his body’s exhaustion at all, his entire person in a kind of immense shock state.
He was already at the Eighth Level Divine Traversing Realm at present, and his divine soul had long reached the boundary of Alchemy Sovereign perfection and had no way of breaking through anymore.
For him to want to have some sort of breakthrough in the divine soul, he had to break through to the Boundless Realm first.
But now, his divine soul was actually strengthening once more. This was simply something beyond comprehension!
Ye Yuan did not sense the arrival of soul tribulation, which was also to say that his divine soul did not break through to the Alchemy Ancestor level.
He was truly unable to imagine that his divine soul was actually able to become even stronger on the foundation of perfection!
Ye Yuan sensed his own divine soul and was shocked to his core. He only shouted a syllable, and his divine soul actually broke through the Alchemy Sovereign perfection level and advanced once more.
Then if he shouted again, would his divine soul be able to improve a step further or not?
Ye Yuan’s eyes lit up, clearly recalling something, as he muttered to himself, “Father said before at that time, his divine soul already surpassed Alchemy Emperor, but he did not break through to the Deity Realm. Could it be that my current situation is the exact same as his back then? If the divine soul can still have some advancement, even if I don’t use some powerful alchemy technique, I can also leap realms to refine Tier 6 medicinal pills! These golden characters were definitely words written by a Deity Realm powerhouse! Deity Realm experts’ means are simply inconceivable, to actually be able to use words to describe the Heavenly Dao and strengthen the divine soul, breaking through the shackles!”
The more it was so, the more intense Ye Yuan’s desire toward the Deity Realm was!
When Ji Zhengyang obtained this Medicine God’s Soul Canon back then, he was already at the peak Alchemy Emperor Realm. Even if he only understood a little bit, it also let him refine out a half-step divine pill.
Ye Yuan was currently still at the Divine Traversing Realm. By the time he cultivated to the peak Alchemy Emperor anew, how powerful would his divine soul be?
At that time, could he refine out a genuine divine pill or not?
The previous life, Ye Yuan’s lifetime aspiration was to refine a divine pill. But even if he was hailed as the genius most likely to reach the Deity Realm, this step was still remotely far.
But this life, he really had hope!
Once this thought popped up, Ye Yuan wanted to shout out that syllable once more without delay.
He swallowed an essence energy restoring medicinal pill in one mouthful and started to recuperate. Very soon, he recovered to his peak state.
“Mou …”
Ye Yuan shouted out this syllable once more. As expected, his divine soul strengthened a tiny bit once more. But this time, his divine soul actually had a tearing pain.
Chapter 797 - Evenly-Matched Showdown
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Hiss …”
Ye Yuan drew a cold breath in pain. The agony of the divine soul tearing was clearly awful.
“Looks like the breakthrough just now already reached the limits. Forcefully reciting this syllable anymore, and the divine soul will be at risk of ripping because of strengthening too quickly. Looks like wanting to shout out this syllable once more, I must consolidate my divine soul a little.”
Ye Yuan understood the divine soul very well and discovered the issue behind it very quickly.
The divine soul strengthening too quickly was like being ripped apart by a powerful force. There would naturally be this kind of agonizing feeling.
As long as Ye Yuan consolidated the divine soul well, he could continue strengthening the divine soul through this syllable.
Knowing the details in it, Ye Yuan naturally did not dare to behave recklessly anymore. After swallowing several divine soul nourishing medicinal pills, he started consolidating the divine soul.
…
The following few days, Ye Yuan continued to advance triumphantly and had yet to taste any defeat.
After 13 days, the ones on the ranking list still maintaining undefeated were only left with Nalan Chu, Ye Yuan, as well as this Zhang Tianyi.
Zhang Tianyu’s strength was truly incomparably daunting. During the several times he ran into opponents with powerful strength, he would bring the other party down.
Among them were Wu Jiantong who was known as second only to Nalan Chu in strength.
Looking at it now, this title was simply a joke.
Forget about Zhang Tianyi, even Han Feng’s strength was also much greater than his.
But to Ye Yuan, the fervor the competitions provided for him clearly could not compare to the growth in divine soul.
In 13 days, Ye Yuan’s divine soul was close to 20% stronger than the perfection state previously!
Ye Yuan had never known that a martial
artist’s divine soul could still be enhanced to such a level under the state of perfection.
With the growth in divine soul, Ye Yuan’s essence energy was also rising along with it. In fact, during the 10th day, Ye Yuan broke through to the Ninth Level Divine Traversing in one shot!
Ye Yuan discovered that the divine soul’s additional growth made his comprehension towards concepts increased considerably.
Similarly, at the Ninth Level Divine Traversing Realm, Ye Yuan’s understanding based on his previous life was entirely different.
The Dao belonging to the Divine Traversing Realm became even clearer in Ye Yuan’s mind.
Following the deepening of comprehension, Ye Yuan’s cultivation realm actually reached peak Ninth Level Divine Traversing Realm unconsciously. It was only one last step away from breaking through to the Boundless Realm.
Ye Yuan concentrated on cultivating. In a blink of an eye, a night had passed.
Today, Ye Yuan was going to face the strongest opponent in this competition: Nalan Chu.
Before Ye Yuan appeared, Nalan Chu was virtually the unofficial number one.
Since the selection competition was underway until now, there were quite a number of experts who attempted to challenge Nalan Chu’s throne, but they all failed without exception.
Now, a situation of tripartite confrontation, the ones with the greatest hope of challenging Nalan Chu’s throne were Ye Yuan and Zhang Tianyi.
Today’s match, in many people’s hearts, should decide to whom the number one belonged to in the competition this time, and it was also to decide the quota ownerships for entering the Crimson Afterglow Valley.
Although Zhang Tianyi’s strength was formidable, he did not comprehend a supreme true intent after all. If he really matched up against these two, he was probably going to lose.
“In one night, Ye Yuan actually broke through! With this, Ye Yuan is even more confident.”
“What use does one minor boundary have? Unless he can break through to the Boundless Realm, otherwise, he is still a major cultivation realm away from Nalan Chu. Likewise, comprehending a supreme true intent, this sort of disparity is hard to make up for!”
