He looked at Ye Yuan in disbelief as he said with a shocked look, “Heaven Man Unity! You … You actually already comprehended Heaven Man Unity! Just 20 year’s time, how is this possible?
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said, “Don’t play such childish stuff anymore. Bring me to go see Cloudsky. Coming this time, I have important matters to discuss with him!”

“Lord Cloudsky is currently in closed-seclusion, and it’s inconvenient to meet him. I’ll bring you to the courier stations first. Other matters, talk again later,” Guo Xu came back to his senses and said impatiently.
Hearing Guo Xu’s words, Ye Yuan had a bad premonition.
This trip probably would not be that smooth.
“Where’s Nangong Zifeng and Zhuge Qingxuan?” Ye Yuan asked with a frown.
The Holy City’s three titans: Zhuge Qingxuan, Nangong Zifeng, and Cloudsky.
These three people were the Holy City’s most powerful existences. Since Cloudsky was in closed-seclusion, Ye Yuan could only look for Nangong Zifeng.
“Lord Nangong and Lord Zhuge are both not in the city. If you have urgent matters, there’s only waiting for Lord Cloudsky to exit seclusion,” Guo Xu said.
Ye Yuan’s brows knitted tightly together. Cloudsky was clearly intentionally avoiding and not meeting here. Could it be that he had already guessed his intention of coming and did not plan on intervening in the Medicine King Hall’s matters?
If it was like this, the matter would be rather troublesome.
Without the Holy Region’s support, it was very hard for the Eight Great Super Holy Lands to join together. Wanting to deal with the Medicine King Hall would be doubly difficult.
Moreover, Ye Yuan kept feeling that the Medicine King Hall was likely not as easy to deal with as on the surface.
There were no walls without any cracks under the heavens. The Immemorial Medicine Garden had such a huge commotion, it was impossible for the Eight Great Super Holy Lands to not have any intel at all.
The Medicine King Hall concealed so deeply. Taking the risk of being exposed this time and drawing so many experts, it was impossible for them to never have thought that they would become a common target for scorn.
If say Ji Canglan had no preparations at all, Ye Yuan would not believe it even if he was beaten to death.
Cloudsky said that he was in closed-seclusion, Ye Yuan had no other methods too. He could only follow Guo Xu to the courier station together.
Guo Xu escorted Ye Yuan inside the courier station and left on his own without caring about the latter.
…
Inside an independent space in the Holy City, two elderly men were currently conversing.
“Ji Qingyun coming to the Holy City this time is definitely for the matter of the Medicine King Hall. With his character, not seeing our faces, he probably won’t easily leave.”
“To think that after a time interval of 50 thousand years, the fiend race staged a comeback once again. Looks like this time, it can’t dispense with a bout of sanguinary slaughter again!”
“Heh, since Ye Yuan is this era’s son of heaven’s mandate, then we naturally don’t need to poke our noses into what isn’t our business. How many times have the fiend race jumped around? They never truly succeeded before even once. With the son of heaven’s mandate around, just let them fight first. After fighting finish, we’ll come out again to clean up the messy situation.”
“I didn’t think that Ji Qingyun is actually this era’s son of heaven’s mandate! Since he came to the Holy City, it means that he won’t sit idly by and remain indifferent to the fiend race’s matters.”
“Ji Canglan failed to kill Ji Qingyun, but helped him instead, indicating that his destiny is extremely strong. As long as one lets him mature, he’ll naturally be able to exterminate the fiend race.”
If Ye Yuan was here, he would be able to recognize that these two were precisely the Nangong Zifeng and Cloudsky, who avoided meeting him.
Except, Ye Yuan probably also did not think that the Divine Realm’s secrets that the Holy City was aware of were far more than he imagined.
Hearing the meaning in their words, they actually wanted to watch indifferently regarding the fiend race’s matters without lending a hand, harboring the idea of sitting it out and reaping the spoils later.
The matter of Ye Yuan being the son of heaven’s mandate, they were also perfectly aware.
Looking at it like this, the matter of the fiend race gradually surfacing, they were actually long aware.
Except, they did not have the intention of stopping. Instead, they had the intention of letting it develop unchecked.
“Qingxuan that fellow has already entered the Godsfall Mountain Range for 20 years time. I wonder if he really has any harvests or not. Without him holding down the fort, once the crisis of the fiend race erupts, the two of us probably can’t suppress it!” Cloudsky said.
“There’s no big deal. Once the holy city’s array formation activates, even Deity Realm powerhouses are unable to break through. Even if the fiend race was any stronger, it’s also impossible to breach the Holy City. Furthermore, divine artifacts coming into existence consecutively, heaven and earth will presumably have a great change. Perhaps … Deity Realm powerhouses will really descend upon the mortal world anew. If that’s really the case, Qingxuan will definitely be the first powerhouse to step into Deity Realm!” Nangong Zifeng said.
“Makes sense! Our Holy Region’s foundations are deep and profound. Furthermore, we’ve avoided several great battles of two races. Our accumulations are very deep. If say talking about who has the greatest hope of breaking through to Deity Realm in this world, it’s definitely Qingxuan,” Cloudsky said.
“Ji Qingyun that brat, leave him out in the sun to dry first. When he feels snubbed, he’ll naturally leave,” Nangong Zifeng said.
Cloudsky nodded and said, “There’s only like this.”
…
After encamping at the courier station, out of Ye Yuan’s expectations, Long Teng manifested himself.
“Senior Long Teng, you are …” Ye Yuan asked rather surprisedly.
Long Teng looked at Ye Yuan and said, “Are the Holy Region’s personnel in-charge avoiding you and not meeting?”
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said unhappily, “No idea what’s with Cloudsky that old man. The Holy Region is the human race’s leader. At present, the fiend race’s feathers are gradually fluffing up, but he’s avoiding meeting me. Truly detestable!”
When Long Teng heard that, he could not help giving a cold laugh: “Over 50 thousand years have passed. Looks like this Holy Region is still so shameful!”
Ye Yuan could not help being stunned when he heard that. Hearing the meaning in Long Teng’s words, there seemed to be veiled criticism towards the Holy Region.
Thinking about it, Ye Yuan could not help feeling rather odd.
The pandemonium of the Heavenly Fiendgod 50 thousand years ago, it was actually the dragon clan who had a great battle with him in the end. Then, where did the Holy Region, such a super faction, go to?
Although the dragon clan was at the height of its power and splendor 50 thousand years ago, possessing a large batch of Void Mystic powerhouses, looking at the Holy Region’s strength, it shouldn’t be inferior to the dragon clan. Why didn’t news of them resisting the fiend race pass down?
With this thought, Ye Yuan felt that something was not right.
Long Teng clearly saw through Ye Yuan’s puzzlement and said with a cold smile, “Do you know why the Holy Region was able to become the human race’s number one power?”
“Why?” Ye Yuan asked puzzledly.
All along, the impression that the Holy Region gave people was powerful! Very powerful!
Regardless of how the other super holy lands changed, the Holy Region stood firm from beginning to end. There had never be
en a faction that was able to shake the Holy Region’s position of a goliath.
In the people’s view, the Holy Region possessed the rank one of the Ten Great Divine Kings, the Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, and also had an incomparably terrifying divine rank grand array. They could naturally claim to be the human race’s number one faction.
But, a faction like this, could it be that they did not have any losses during the turmoil of the fiend race?
Long Teng said with a contemptuous look, “Over 50 thousand years ago, the Bloodgod Temple swept throughout the entire Divine Realm. The dragon clan had once issued an invitation to the Holy Region before, inviting them to encircle and quash the Bloodgod Temple together along with them. But they actually did not respond to the dragon clan’s invitation in the slightest. From start to finish, they never sent a single soldier. Furthermore, they activated the grand array, sealing off the Holy City, cutting off all connections with the outside world. That battle, they did not have any losses at all. Naturally, they could become the Divine Realm’s number one faction.”
Ye Yuan could not help being stupefied when he heard. He did not think that the Holy Region actually still had such a past.
It seemed like they did not wish to tread into the muddy waters at all by relying on that they had a divine rank grand array protecting. Whether the Divine Realm fell into the enemy’s hands or not, seemed to not have any relation with them at all.
“But, if the fiend race truly occupied the entire Divine Realm, even if they sealed off the grand array, they can’t last for a long time either, right?” Ye Yuan thought about it and said.
Long Teng had a cold smile as he said, “But in reality, the Divine Realm didn’t fall into the enemy’s hands, isn’t it so? Fang Tian’s sudden emergence salvaged the entire Divine Realm. While they are just a group of trash that sat idly by and reaped the fruits of others’ labor!”

“Senior’s meaning is that the Holy Region is probably long aware of the existence of the son of heaven’s mandate already. Hence, that’s why they would intentionally preserve their strength?” Ye Yuan understood with a snap and guessed.
If the fiend race really unified the Divine Realm, even if the Holy Region was a tortoise shell, with the fiend race gathering the entire Divine Realm’s strength to assault it, its shell would also be broken.
This point, it was impossible that the Holy Region’s powerhouses did not figure out.
The only possibility was that they knew that there was someone capable of saving the Divine Realm. That was why they harbored the thinking of not taking sides in order to save their own skin, and deliberately not exert strength.
Long Teng smiled coldly and said, “The human race and fiend race’s war has lasted for at least a million years. What’s strange about a major power with a long-standing inheritance like the Holy Region knowing about this? It’s just that their actions are truly beneath contempt! Didn’t think that 50 thousand years have passed, but they are still like this!”
Hearing Long Teng say so, Ye Yuan was also contemptuous toward the Holy Region to the extreme in his heart.
This kind of major matter that concerned the entire Divine Realm’s survival, the Holy Region, as the Divine Realm’s number one major force, actually wanted to look on with folded arms. Truly disgraceful to the extreme!
Other people fought dauntlessly in bloody battles, but they sit idly and reap the fruits of others’ labor, stepping on other people’s skeletons to move up.
Furthermore, this actually even became a tradition. 50 thousand years ago was like this, 50 thousand years later today, was similarly like so!
Ye Yuan said, “Cloudsky old punk definitely didn’t enter closed-seclusion. He wants to use the ‘delay’ tactic to let me beat a retreat in the face of difficulties. Heh heh, how can I, Ye Yuan, be so easy to send away?”
Long Teng shook his head and said, “It’s no use. He has already made up his mind to not see you. Even if you knock on his door to beg him, he won’t meet you either!”
Ye Yuan did not speak and started pacing slowly inside the room.
When Long Teng saw the situation, he shut up and did not speak as well. He knew that Ye Yuan was definitely thinking of a way.
After some time, a hint of a smile surfaced on Ye Yuan’s face. When Long Teng saw the situation, he knew that there was a chance.
…
Heavenly Saint Plaza was the Holy Region’s largest public square. The human traffic here was immensely heavy. It could be said to be one of the Holy City’s most prosperous areas.
The second day morning, an additional stall appeared in the Heavenly Saint Plaza.
On the left and right side of the stall, each had an enormous vertical scroll.
On the left-hand side of the scroll was written ‘All requests will be granted.’ While on the right-hand side of the scroll, it was ‘Not taking a single penny’!
The moment this line-up was put out, it immediately drew a large group of martial artists to crowd around.
“Yii, what’s this? Is it fortune-telling? Martial artists all defy the heavens and change fate. How many believe in fate?”
“Are you dumb? You look at this line-up, does it look like fortune-telling? Quite a few medicinal cauldrons are placed over there. It’s clearly refining pills on people’s behalf.”
“This means that … helping people refine pills for free? There’s still such a good thing? But, even if it’s free pill refinement, this brat is also too cocky, right? Still … ‘All requests will be granted,’ who does he think he is?”
“Heh heh, you’re out of touch with the outside world and its affairs, right? This young man isn’t an ordinary person. He’s the peak Alchemy Emperor, Qingyun Zi! Back then, Qingyun Zi didn’t die. A trace of remnant soul fled to the Lower Realms, and he seized possession and revived!”
“Qingyun Zi! My God, Qingyun Zi actually set up a stall to help people refine pills here. What does he want to do? Right beside is the Alchemist Association’s headquarters. This … This is also too provocative, right?”
Ye Yuan’s identity was already not some secret now. The Holy City had no lack of some well-informed people who knew that Ye Yuan was Qingyun Zi.
With this wave of discussion, the crowd immediately burst into an uproar.
What kind of status did the peak Alchemy Emperor Qingyun Zi have? If it was in the past, forget about begging him to refine pills, even meeting hip was extremely hard to come by.
Today, he was actually helping people refine pills for free. Furthermore, on the scroll, it stated that all requests would be granted.
More importantly, he actually set up a stall at the front gates of the Alchemist Association’s headquarters. This was simply monumental.
There had never been anyone who dared to provoke the Alchemist Association like this before.
Even at the Medicine King Hall’s most powerful and prosperous, they never did such a face-slapping action before either.
The Medicine King Hall and the Alchemist Association’s contending, that was all playing tricks in the dark. This sort of posturing and face-slapping action, it never happened before.
Of course, even though the Medicine King Hall was impressive, the Alchemist Association was not to be trifled with either.
Ji Zhengyang’s alchemy path strength was merely around on par with Jing Fengtian.
Where did Qingyun Zi’s courage come from, to dare slap people’s faces at their front door?
At this time, the people surrounding the watching were many. But people who genuinely dared to come forward and request for pills, there was not a single one.
This place was the Alchemist Association’s front gate. Requesting Qingyun Zi for pills, wasn’t this slapping the Alchemist Association’s face? Not everyone had this nerve to dare oppose the Alchemist Association.
Right then, a perso
n suddenly scurried out from within the crowd. It was a middle-aged martial artist.
It was only to see him come before Ye Yuan and immediately kneel down with a thud.
“Lord Qingyun Zi, I beg you, save this lowly one’s wife!” The middle-aged martial artist made a pitiful plea.
This middle-aged martial artist was merely a Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artist. In this Holy City, he was merely a minor character that was not important.
Ye Yuan, who was originally sitting rigidly upright, hurriedly went up to support the middle-aged martial artist when he saw him getting so worked up and said, “This elder brother, you don’t have to be like this. Since I said that all requests will be granted, no matter who comes, I won’t reject it. Speak about it, what’s the matter with your wife?”
The moment the middle-aged martial artist heard, he could not help being overjoyed, and hastily recounted his wife’s situation briefly.
This middle-aged martial artist was called Lu Wu. Half a year ago, he and his wife went to a mystic realm in the Holy Region to search for treasures. He did not expect that his wife would be bitten by a little snake.
A small snake that did not take human form. They did not pay attention at that time as well and continued going deep in after expelling the poison. But very soon, Lu Wu discovered something amiss.
Many red spots quickly erupted on his wife’s body, then her skin started to fester.
Until now, Lu Wu’s wife’s body was practically completely rotten already, looking as if her life was almost going to be lost.
He sought medical help from the Alchemist Association’s alchemists, but the Alchemist Association’s Alchemy Saint could not diagnose it at all.
As for Alchemy Venerable powerhouses, Lu Wu could not afford that money at all. And the Alchemy Venerable that he found said that without heavenly essence crystals, there was no talk.
Lu Wu loved his wife deeply. Hence, he pestered that Alchemy Venerable every day, hoping to be able to use his sincerity to move the other party.
Except, he did not appreciate it at all.
He did not think that coming over today, he just happened to see Ye Yuan set up a stall here. He did not recognize Ye Yuan either, but when he heard that this one in front of him was the widely renowned Lord Qingyun Zi, he did not hesitate in the slightest to be the first one to step forward.
