Powerhouses who truly had strength would enter the martial arts world to train, completing the missions provided by the academy.
And the Immortal Grove World was one of the martial arts worlds!
The Heavenspan World had existed for God knows how many billions of years. The powerhouses accumulated were goodness knows how many.
One had to know that being able to cultivate to the Divine Lord Realm, one could hew open an inner-world, going a step further to derive a small world. That was the martial arts world.
Hence, the Heavenspan World had many spatial rifts that were all connected to martial arts worlds.
Those ownerless martial arts worlds were the perfect places for Heavenspan World powerhouses to explore and seek treasures.
Because each martial arts world had its own unique aspect. It might give birth to natural treasures unavailable in the Heavenspan World.
Some far back era martial arts worlds, it might be left behind by a Heavenly Emperor, even a Transcendent Heavenly Emperor. Inside might contain the cultivation methods and supreme treasures left behind by these major powers.
Once obtained by people with heaven-defying destiny, they could even leap over the dragon gate.
Apart from this, martial arts worlds still had something that everyone coveted: the Dao Fruit!
Powerhouses above Divine Lord Realm would condense a Dao Fruit belonging to them.
They would normally hide the Dao Fruit in their own small world to nurture. Once an explorer obtained the Dao Fruit, that was truly soaring to the skies in one move.
Just like Heavenly Emperor Jiu Shang, he ascended to Heavenly Emperor one step ahead of Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove because he obtained a Heavenly Emperor Dao Fruit.
Of course, martial arts worlds also contained enormous dangers. A single mishap and one would perish, their Dao disappearing.
Firstly, Deity Realm powerhouses also existed in martial arts worlds. Some were even very powerful.
Secondly, there were also some danger zones in martial arts worlds, such as the Immortal Grove World’s Godsfall Mountain Range.
Quite a number of martial artists never came out again after venturing in.
Dustless said, “No rush. I know that you’re worried about that lass, but I have a score in my heart. There’s probably still some time before you breakthrough to Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm. But before going to a martial arts world, cultivate Sword Dao laws to grand completion first-layered heaven first, thoroughly completing this Sundering Stars move!”
[1] I also don’t understand why the previous paragraph says not perfected, but this paragraph says already reach grand completion. Think author made a mistake somewhere.
Chapter 1409 - Grudge
Chapter 1409 Grudge
At Ye Yuan’s residence, Thundercry’s face was rather awkward.
When in the Mystic realm, he still flared up and solemnly vowed to Qin Tian, to have the Qin Family give an account.
Who knew that now, it was all talk and no action; no more follow up.
“Ye Yuan, you made great contributions to Wu Meng Academy and the capital city. These are the rewards that City Lord gave you!” Thundercry said.
The academy’s rewards were not ungenerous: 150 thousand points, plus 50 Tier 2 low-grade divine pills, plus a profound divine artifact battle armor!
The 100 thousand points awarded to Ye Yuan previously were already pretty much depleted by him.
These 150 thousand points, to Ye Yuan it was as if delivering charcoal in the snow.
And a profound divine artifact battle armor could even have the effect of defending against the attack of Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouses.
Except, Ye Yuan was not so easy to fool, and said with a faint smile, “I didn’t expect that the Qin Family’s ability is actually so great. Doing this sort of thing and actually still made Teacher Thundercry run into a wall.”
Thundercry did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so smart, actually seeing through the whole thing so quickly.
He was originally still planning on fighting a quick battle to end things fast and slip away after giving Ye Yuan these rewards.
Looking at it now, he could not avoid it.
Since Ye Yuan exposed it, Thundercry had nothing to hide either, heaving a sigh. He said, “The Qin Family is one of Wu Meng Capital City’s oldest families. A Wu Meng Capital City’s city lord had even once emerged from that family before! The Qin Family’s forces span every corner of the entire Wu Meng Capital City. Even if City Lord, His Excellency, wants to touch them, he would also have to weigh it over.”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “So that’s how it is. Thank you, Teacher Thundercry, for making a trip!”
Thundercry froze. He originally thought that Ye Yuan would rebuke him in a fit of rage, saying that he failed to act.
He did not think that Ye Yuan just casually brushed it off.
This Ye Yuan was really different from the rest.
Thundercry let out a long sigh. If Ye Yuan kept on pressing, he would not know how to answer instead.
“Huhu, too courteous! Hope that you don’t have any thoughts and just cultivate well. After all, this Wu Meng Capital City, it’s still City Lord, His Excellency, who calls the shots!” Thundercry said with an embarrassed smile.
Ye Yuan nodded with a smile and said, “Ye Yuan understands! After some time, I plan on going out to train and won’t disappoint Teacher Thundercry.”
Thundercry’s expression could not help changing when he heard that and said, “Going out to train? You just broke through to grand completion Grotto Profound not long. It’s not too late to go out and train after breaking through to the Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm! Going out to train right now is too dangerous!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Teacher Thundercry, rest assured. Ye Yuan has a score in his heart.”
When Thundercry saw that Ye Yuan’s mind was made up, and also recalling his outstanding strength, he could only nod and said, “Alright, you be careful yourself then. These are three Heavenly Thunder Swift Talismans that I refined. It’s a great deal faster than your sword maneuvering flight’s speed. Perhaps it will be of aid to you.”
Thundercry took out three yellow talismans and passed them to Ye Yuan. A powerful lightning-attribute law aura hit him head-on.
Ye Yuan was slightly surprised, but he still accepted the Heavenly Thunder Swift Talismans and said with clasped hands, “Then I’ll have to thank Teacher Thundercry!”
After Thundercry left, Ye Yuan’s face turned sullen.
He felt that this matter was probably not so simple!
The Qin Family’s forces in Wu Meng Capital City were deeply entrenched. This point, Ye Yuan acknowledged it.
But was this kind of deep-rootedness capable of making a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse compromise?
Ye Yuan felt that Wu Meng City Lord was probably not coming to terms with the Qin Family, but was not willing to punish them.
It looked like there was quite a bit of connection between Wu Meng City Lord and the Qin Family.
“For him to send these over, looks like he wants to pacify you, make you live together in harmony with the Qin Family! It looks like he doesn’t want to offend both sides,” Dustless said.
Ye Yuan said, “The Qin Family isn’t to be offended, but what’s not to be offended about me? I helped him obtain the Four-star divine pill, and he didn’t even show his face. Looks like in his eyes, I’m just an insignificant student. Sending these seems fair, actually, he’s siding with the Qin Family there.”
Dustless could not help being stifled and said, “What you said is right! If this Wu Meng City Lord targets you, you’ll be in danger.”
Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, “This Wu Meng City Lord really disappoints me! Now, I really love and hate this Wu Meng Capital City!”
After all, Ye Yuan’s Sundering Stars was comprehended in Wu Meng Academy. It was also considered receiving Wu Meng Academy’s grace.
But Wu Meng
City Lord’s way of doing things made Ye Yuan rather disappointed.
Ye Yuan comprehended Sundering Stars and contributed Sundering Stars to the Wu Meng Academy without holding back in the slightest, and also radiated splendor in the Hundred Cities Smelting Trial.
One could say that his repayment to the Wu Meng Academy was already far more than what should be demanded.
Just a Four-star divine pill was worth several cities!
But in the end, what it exchanged for was such an outcome.
Dustless said, “You’d best be a little more careful in the future. Don’t get into a conflict with the Qin Family anymore. Otherwise, what kind of attitude Wu Meng City Lord has is hard to say!”
Ye Yuan smiled coldly and said, “It’s naturally well if they don’t come and provoke me. If they really provoke me, I, Ye Yuan, have never feared anyone before!”
…
Ye Yuan stayed for five years in the Sword Tomb’s fifth level.
Five years later, Sundering Stars was finally completed!
Close to 20 year’s time from start to finish, Ye Yuan finally completed the Chaos Heaven Opening Sword Art’s first level sword move.
Presently, when Ye Yuan deployed Sundering Stars, this move, with the Chaos Heavenspan Canon at full power, he had the confidence to have a showdown with newly-advanced Heaven Glimpse powerhouses!
Although there was a tremendous gulf between Heaven Glimpse powerhouses and Grotto Profound martial artists, when Ye Yuan was at late-stage Grotto Profound, his strength already swept across those in the same rank.
Now, his realm and martial technique both had an all-round improvement. It was sufficient to make up for this enormous chasm.
At least, he had the power to fight.
Coming out of the Sword Tomb, Ye Yuan went straight to the Merit Hall. This was the place where Wu Meng Academy students received missions.
It was also Ye Yuan’s first time coming over. That inner-court disciple in charge of missions clearly knew Ye Yuan and said with a laugh, “Yo, what wind blew our hundred cities’ number one person here? Junior Apprentice Brother Ye hasn’t entered the inner-court yet. Could it be that you’re already planning on receiving missions?”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Senior Apprentice Brother, I plan on going out to train for a bit. Is there a list of missions for me to take a look first?”
That student’s expression changed and he said solemnly, “Junior Apprentice Brother Ye plans on going out to train? The danger of that kind of mission is very high. Even if inner-court students go, the rate of death is also extremely high! I know that junior apprentice brother’s strength is quite strong, but … shouldn’t you go out to train after being promoted to the inner-court first?”
Ye Yuan saw that the other party’s concern did not seem to be false, and he could not help feeling touched.
Ye Yuan’s prestige in the inner-court was also extremely high, not just in the outer-court.
After all, he helped Wu Meng Capital City seize the championship with his power alone, and even shaved their mortal foe, Zuo Xiang Capital City, bald, making everyone hold their heads up high.
Before long, Ye Yuan would even release splendor in the inner-court.
Such a promising junior apprentice brother, everyone was naturally willing to get closer.
Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, “Thanks for Senior Apprentice Brother’s concern. But cultivating for a long time in the academy, I feel like I’ve already reached a bottleneck period. When training, I’ll be more careful.”
Chapter 1410 - Sky Foothill World
Chapter 1410 Sky Foothill World
“Alright then. There are five jade pillars over there, representing the difficulty of the missions from low to high. You can go and check it out yourself. After examining them, come to me to register will do.”
That inner-court student saw that Ye Yuan’s attitude was firm and could only agree.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother.”
On one side of the Merit Hall’s great hall, five jade pillars were placed from low to high.
Ye Yuan arrived in front of the jade pillars and poured divine essence into the first jade pillar.
The jade pillar immediately erupted with rays of brilliant light. A whole bunch of information entered Ye Yuan’s mind.
Breath Rain World, Divine Lord Rank Small World.
Highest level powerhouse: Grotto Profound Deity Realm.
Dangerous places: Western Fame Valley, Heavenly Melody Mountain.
Basic missions: Black Yun Metal, Splendid Flora Fruit. Difficulty – one star. Completing a mission one could obtain 800 points.
Advanced missions: Divine lord profound treasure left behind by Breath Rain Divine Lord. Difficulty – two stars. Completing a mission one could obtain 1500 points.
…
On it was a detailed description of the Breath Rain World, including the local customs, topography, and so on; very detailed.
Information after information filtered through in Ye Yuan’s mind very quickly. Ye Yuan discovered that the information on the one-star jade pillar was actually not that hard.
With his current strength, he could at least protect himself.
The strongest powerhouses in these worlds were mostly just Grotto Profound Realm. Ye Yuan’s strength could virtually sweep across.
Of course, only he, this Grotto Profound martial artists, dared to say sweep across, this kind of words.
The Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone was a very rarely-seen natural treasure. It would not appear in every small world.
But if someone discovered Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones in a small world, it would definitely be listed as one of the missions.
It was just too bad that the one-star jade pillar did not have news about Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones.
Hence, Ye Yuan came to the two-star jade pillar to check.
The worlds recorded on the two-star jade pillar was clearly much more dangerous than on the one-star jade pillar. Quite a number of worlds’ highest level powerhouses were all Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm.
Of course, the danger level was not just according to the highest level powerhouse. Each small world’s situation was different, the situation very complicated.
Some people training succumbed inside without even figuring out the situation.
Ye Yuan skimmed over the two-star jade pillar and still did not find news about the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone. His heart could not help sinking.
He was not afraid of danger. What he feared was not being able to find the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone.
As long as there was news about Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stones, even if it was a dragon’s lair or tiger’s den, he would also brave it.
Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and started investigating the information on the three-star jade pillar.
He secretly praised, on this three-star jade pillar, there must be information about the Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone!
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Information entered his eyes.
Sky Foothill World: Celestial Deity Rank Small World.
Highest level powerhouse: Origin Deity Realm.
Dangerous places: Unclear.
Basic missions: Myriad Longevity Heavenly Soul Stone, Nine Melody Psychic Immortal Fruit, Purple Sand Gold, difficulty – three stars. Completing a mission one could obtain 100 thousand points!
Advanced missions: Celestial Deity Dao Fruit, difficulty – four stars. Completing a mission one could obtain 300 thousand points!
…
That was it!
Without the slightest hesitation, Ye Yuan found that inner-court student.
“Senior Apprentice Brother, I want to choose the number eight mission on the three-star jade pillar!” Ye Yuan said.
That student was stupefied, somewhat doubting if his ears heard wrongly or not.
“Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, this is a th
ree-star mission. Are you mistaken?”
This three-star mission, as long one of the missions was completed, one could get 100 thousand points. The difficulty and level of danger could be seen.
It was on a completely different level than the one-star and two-star missions previously.
Ye Yuan was merely a Grotto Profound Realm martial artist. Wanting to challenge such a high difficulty mission as soon as he came up, his astonishment could be imagined.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “That’s right, this is it. I’ll have to trouble Senior Apprentice Brother to give me the coordinates of the Sky Foothill World.”
“Junior Apprentice Brother Ye, it’s your first time taking part in a training mission, you might not know the difficulty of three-star missions! This number eight mission, over 5000 students have done it in the past. The majority of them were all middle-stage, Heaven Glimpse, late-stage, even grand completion powerhouses. But the ones who came back in the end were less than 10%! Among the 10%, those able to complete the mission were even fewer!”
That student was warmhearted too, worried that Ye Yuan did not know the danger and urged earnestly with good intentions.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Many thanks, Senior Apprentice Brother, for cautioning. I’ll be careful.”
That student opened his mouth but did not say anything.
This Junior Apprentice Brother Ye never seemed to do things according to the convention.
Missions that other people avoided like the plague, he was eager to go.
More importantly, Ye Yuan was too weak currently!
Even if Ye Yuan’s strength was superior, far surpassing same-rank martial artists, his realm was too low after all.
He did not even enter the inner-court and want to challenge a three-star mission. Wasn’t this somewhat overestimating his own ability?
“Alright, since Junior Apprentice Brother Ye insists on going, then you’ll have to be more careful. Entering a small world to train, the most important thing is to protect yourself. Missions and whatnot are second.” That student reminded him again.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “That is, of course. I don’t wish to court death too.”
That student nodded and said, “The number eight mission’s information is already stored in your academy token. You can go back and study it well. But you have to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath right now, to absolutely not reveal the mission’s information for others to know.”
