But looking at Yuan Fei's actions, could it be that the source of this phenomenon was actually Ye Yuan?
How was this possible?
Such a phenomenon was impossible to have even if one broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm, let alone breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!
Just what on earth happened on Ye Yuan's body?
Su Yishan picked himself up rather miserably and just happened to meet Nanfeng Zhirou's baffled gaze. He involuntarily became pissed. "Don't look at me; how would I know what happened? This Ye Yuan is a natural-born freak! Freak! Freak!"
Su Yishan did not dare to get mad at Yuan Fei, so he could only say 'freak' three times consecutively to express his disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e, and at the same time, conceal the deep shock within his heart.
Through Yuan Fei's reaction, Su Yishan clearly also realized that the source of this phenomenon was Ye Yuan.
However, he just could not figure out how Ye Yuan could invoke such a horrifying phenomenon when he was merely breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm.
Nanfeng Zhirou was speechless for some time before she said, "Ye Yuan's gathering qi and then liquefying it is already completed. Now, it should be the divine soul transformation. But would the divine soul transformation invoke such a phenomenon? Could it be due to him condensing seven spirit liquid drops?"
"I already said that I don't know! Divine soul transformation is just symbolical. How can it possibly trigger such a phenomenon?" Su Yishan said crossly.
Nanfeng Zhirou thought about it for a long time and also could not come up with an explanation. She could only observe Ye Yuan's movements closely.
. . . . . .
Meanwhile, over ten thousand miles away, at the Tranquil Cloud Sect, an old man filled with a sage-like bearing broke out of his seclusion and looked at the phenomenon in the distance with a grave expression.
"It's over at the Endless Forest. What happened? Could another Tier 4 demonic beast be born? But it's also not possible for Tier 4 demonic beasts to trigger such a phenomenon!"
. . . . . .
Somewhere deep in the Endless Forest, an elderly man who was only skin and bones looked at the phenomenon towering the skies with a similarly solemn expression!
"Which old demon broke through? Such a level of phenomenon is simply inconceivable! I'd better stay further away from him! Breaking through in the Endless Forest, doesn't this fellow scared of provoking that old demon in there?"
Although the elderly man was very curious about what happened, he still turned around and left without looking back.
. . . . . .
Over at the other side of the Endless Forest, this place was hailed as a land forbidden to humans, the Ten Thousand Demons Valley. There were countless powerful demonic beasts within!
In the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, inside a cave, a youth actually sat there cross-legged.
The youth was presently training in meditation when he suddenly opened his eyes. He murmured to himself, "It's the aura of a human! To think that such a heaven-defying existence appeared once again among the humans! What a pity! I'm also at the most critical juncture right now. Otherwise, I would go and meet him."
Finishing, the youth shut his eyes again, cutting off all of his senses.
. . . . . .
This instant, countless masters in the Endless World was startled by the phenomenon caused by Ye Yuan.
It was just that no matter how they thought, they did not imagine that such a level of phenomenon was caused by a puny little Spirit Condensation Realm.
However, Ye Yuan's current body condition was not great.
"Siii . . . Why is the divine soul transformation in the Spirit Condensation Realm so painful?!"
Ye Yuan was currently experiencing a head-splitting pain, his divine soul feeling like it was being shredded, making him wish that he was dead.
Ye Yuan had the past experience of breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, so of course he knew what the Spirit Condensation Realm's divine soul transformation was all about.
But now, this sort of agony had greatly surpassed his experience.
"Argh!!!"
Ye Yuan finally could not take it anymore. He clutched his own head and started rolling around on the ground in anguish.
In the distance, Nanfeng Zhirou who saw the situation was greatly alarmed. She was about to launch herself over when she was stopped by Yuan Fei.
"Ape King, can't you see how much pain Ye Yuan is in? Quickly go and save him!" Nanfeng Zhirou was almost in tears.
Yuan Fei just shook his head and did not have any intention of heading over.
"Yuan Fei! Ye Yuan is your master! If something happens to him, you'll also suffer retribution!" Nanfeng Zhirou threatened when she saw that she could not persuade Yuan Fei.
Yuan Fei waved his hands again and continued to be unmoved.
Nanfeng Zhirou saw Ye Yuan rolling around non-stop on the ground appearing like he was in increasingly tormenting pain and could no longer endure it. She raised a palm to attack Yuan Fei.
However, Yuan Fei's speed was even greater than her's. He directly gave a hand-chop to the back of Nanfeng Zhirou's neck, and Nanfeng Zhirou promptly fainted.
Su Yishan who was watching at the sides was unclear what was going on. Did this Yuan Fei really want to see Ye Yuan die?
However, Yuan Fei did not give him much time to ponder. With the same hand-chop down, Su Yishan also fainted.
Finishing these, Yuan Fei seated on the ground and quietly watched Ye Yuan who was struggling on the ground.
The current Ye Yuan felt that his entire body was about to be ripped apart. Even as somebody who had been through two lives, he had never tasted this sort of feeling.
Ji Qingyun was an expert in terms of souls. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to become the youngest Alchemy Emperor.
However, he had never experienced this sort of torment even during his previous life where he broke through so many cultivation realms.
This was only breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!
Ye Yuan's mind was on the verge of being extinguished. During this time, it was the d.e.s.i.r.e towards life which sustained him, making his soul preserve that last trace of clarity and eternity!
He, Ji Qingyun, wanted to take revenge!
He, Ji Qingyun, wanted to charge back to the Divine Realm and kill that traitor with his own hands!
Ji Canglan was still living well in the Divine Realm. How could he, Ji Qingyun, die just like this?
Ye Yuan was unresigned!
Using his last trace of clarity, Ye Yuan revolved the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation!
This was his first time revolving the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation in this lifetime. Because cultivating soul strength below the Spirit Condensation Realm did not hold any meaning whatsoever.
Even so, Ye Yuan's familiarity towards the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation originated from the deepest parts of the soul!
In his previous life, he cultivated this technique countless times. This skill was akin to a part of his body!
In his previous life, Ji Qingyun did not hold much interest towards cultivation methods and was also uninterested in martial techniques. He was only infatuated with soul manuals!
As an alchemist, Ji Qingyun could not do without soul manuals!
However, the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation which had proved effective every time actually failed this time!
How was this possible?!
Chapter 151 - Divine Text
Arghhh! What's going on?! Ye Yuan howled agonizingly in his mind.
The Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation was an absolutely powerful soul cultivation method in the Divine Realm. Ji Qingyun and his father only became renown throughout the Divine Realm because of cultivating this technique.
But now, even the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation could not resolve the issue of the divine soul tearing?
It was but a one-time simple breakthrough. How could something like this happen?
Just as Ye Yuan was completely helpless and hovering on the edge of absolute despair, his divine soul once again underwent an abnormal change!
Numerous golden-colored unknown texts slowly drifted into Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness, akin to the trickling of a stream, immediately nourishing Ye Yuan's divine soul!
These golden texts were incomparably profound and mysterious. Each word vanished after entering Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness, and Ye Yuan's divine soul was also being repaired.
Gradually, the pain of the divine soul being torn apart lessened, all the way until it disappeared entirely.
However, the inflow of these gold texts did not end. They continued to enter Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness. Not only did it fully mend Ye Yuan's divine soul, it even nourished Ye Yuan's divine soul, strengthening it slowly!
"Wh-what are these texts? To actually have such a miraculous effect?"
Even being an ill.u.s.trious Alchemy Emperor in his previous life, Ye Yuan had never seen such an abstruse and abnormal thing before. Merely the texts itself could strengthen the divine soul. Just what kind of heaven-defying means was this?!
Could these texts be a soul cultivation method? Then if one grasped these texts, wouldn't they become a heaven-defying existence?
Could it be that these texts had already transcended this world and were the legendary Divine Script?
For the sake of researching the Alchemy Path, Ye Yuan had read extensively on all books in his past life and learned countless languages.
But he actually could not recognize any of these golden words!
Where did these words come from? Why did they enter my sea of consciousness?
Ye Yuan was currently full of doubts and questions.
The breakthrough in cultivation realm this time was way too abnormal. It had already surpassed Ye Yuan's understanding!
Ye Yuan's divine soul no longer hurt anymore, but to his dismay, he discovered that he could not do anything. He could only let those texts enter his sea of consciousness freely.
Since he could not do anything, then Ye Yuan might as well just lay there and started to savor these golden texts.
With this bout of savoring, Ye Yuan immediately felt that these golden texts were out of the ordinary.
Between each brush and stroke, it divulged the allure of Dao. This was an indescribable sort of boundless feeling as if what these texts were currently describing was this stretch of Heaven and Earth!
This feeling even gave Ye Yuan an illusion of tearing through the firmament.
Ji Qingyun was formally a Divine King powerhouse, but his cultivation realm was completely piled up using medicinal pills. He did not necessarily have a very deep understanding of Heavenly Dao.
Even so, he was a genuine Divine King. His comprehension of the Heavenly Dao was extremely deep.
But when he looked at these texts, Ye Yuan felt that his understanding was worse than dog shit!
In front of these characters, Ye Yuan felt that his understanding of Heavenly Dao was just like a toddler learning how to walk.
Even if Ye Yuan could not understand them, the impact of the deep, resonant feeling of the boundless Great Dao contained within these words pierced deep into the soul!
"Could these words really be the Divine Script? An existence lording above Divine King? But . . . where did they come from? Could it be that these texts automatically entered my sea of consciousness with my one-time breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm? But I didn't step on sh*t today!"
Ye Yuan knew that he picked up a treasure!
With his knowledge and horizons, he naturally knew the extraordinariness of these words.
Even the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was likely not as good when in front of these characters!
Even if these characters were not the legendary Divine Script, it was also an existence which could cause a frenzy in the entire Divine Realm!
Ye Yuan was certain that once somebody in the Divine Realm knew that he possessed these texts, they would tear his divine soul into shreds with any hesitation and use all kinds of methods to search it out from his sea of consciousness!
Even if they could not understand the contents of these texts, just placing it inside the sea of consciousness and giving it a look every day would be tremendously helpful to martial artists.
The maxim of Great Dao contained within these words might be able to . . . help lead martial artists towards the Deity Realm!
It's the Deity Realm!
Just by thinking of these two words, Ye Yuan could not stop his body from trembling a little!
Which martial artist did not yearn for the Deity Realm?
Even Ji Qingyun who had no interest in the Martial Path in his previous life fervently pursued that legendary Alchemy God Realm!
To want to become an Alchemy God, first, one's divine soul must step into the Deity Realm!
Without a deity level divine soul, how could one possibly refine out deity rank medicinal pills?
Presently, Ye Yuan could leap ranks to refine medicinal pills because these pills were too low leveled. The requirements towards divine soul were not high.
But as the level of the medicinal pill rose in tier, the difficulty of refining would also become increasingly difficult! Without the support of a powerful divine soul realm, it was impossible to refine them!
If not for the sake of letting the divine soul undergo a transformation, Ye Yuan would not even be bothered to advance to the Divine King realm.
The Deity Realm could absolutely drive all martial artists insane!
Ye Yuan produced a series of conjectures about these golden texts.
Firstly, could these golden texts be a soul cultivation method written using the Divine Script?
Highly probable!
That was because these texts could be used directly on the soul. Not only did it repair his damaged divine soul, it even nourished and strengthened his divine soul!
Secondly, if one could completely comprehend these golden characters, did that mean that they could break through the chains of heaven and earth and gain access to that Deity Realm which enraptured all?
Also possible!
But Ye Yuan felt that it might not be so easy.
The profundity of these golden texts could no longer be described using words. Even with Ye Yuan's peerless talent, he was unable to comprehend one in ten-thousandth of it.
It was easier said than done to want to comprehend it thoroughly.
Apart from this, the reason for the Deity Realm to dwindle to zero was unknown. But most likely, it was not as easy to take that step as mastering a set of cultivation law. Even if this set of cultivation law was a Deity Realm cultivation method!
One hundred thousand years ago, all the Deity Realm powerhouses in the Divine Realm vanished overnight!
Nobody knew where they went and nobody knew why they disappeared. But ever since then, the Divine Realm had never given birth to another Deity Realm powerhouse!
Not just that, all the secrets involving the Deity Realm also seemed to have vanished overnight since then.
One hundred thousand years had passed and time had buried even more secrets in oblivion.
Today, nobody knew how to break through to the Deity Realm anymore.
In these hundred thousand years, there had been countless dazzlingly shocking geniuses who wanted to try all sorts of means to smash the fetters. In the end, it all came to naught.
There were even some unrivaled powerhouses who fell during midway, leaving behind infinite regrets.
Ji Qingyun had once been hailed as the genius figure most likely to break through to becoming an Alchemy God. But even that was only everyone's flattery, or perhaps it was everyone's affirmation of him.
Because nobody truly felt that he could genuinely break through to the Alchemy God realm.
That was because this was a hundred thousand year sha
ckle! Nobody could break it apart!
While Ye Yuan's imaginations were running wild, that sheet of golden texts already completely entered Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness.
Just as Ye Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, his entire being was like he got shocked by lightning. His divine soul also shuddered as tears started flowing out . . .
Chapter 152 - A Father’s Love Is Akin to a Mountain
Inside Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness, two faint silhouettes stood as they faced each other.
Ye Yuan looked at this kindly but big and tall figure as he wept bitterly.
"I'm so stupid! I'm so stupid! I'm so stupid! I should have long thought of this! In this whole wide world, who would do all this for me except for you?"
Ye Yuan's tears covered his face as his emotions were virtually crumbling.
Ever since birth, Ye Yuan had always been calm and collected. He had never lost control of his emotions like this before.
He had buried the hatred at the bottom of his heart all along and placed all of his energy on cultivation. He only hoped to be able to charge back to the Divine Realm one day and kill that traitor!
But this time around, facing this person, he could no longer keep his cool.
This was the father who raised him, taught him alchemy, and taught him cultivation: the most powerful Alchemy Emperor in the Divine Realm, Ji Zhengyang!
A man would not shed tears easily unless his heart was broken!
Ji Zhengyang had an amiable appearance and did not develop a baleful aura from being murdered by that traitor. His gaze toward Ye Yuan was filled with tender love.
Ji Zhengyang smiled kindly and said, "Yun-er, to be able to see you reincarnate and get a new lease on life, Father is very comforted. Has all been well?"
"Good . . . Good. . . Everything has been good for this child. I just often miss Father very much." Ye Yuan choked.
"Haha, what's the point of missing a dead person? Since you have a new identity, a new life, you should go and live that new life. Don't wallow in the past. The Medicine King Hall is already the past. Things that had happened, just let them be," Ji Zhengyang smiled and said very nonchalantly.
