Chapter 286 - Opinion
"What do you guys think of the Heavenly Sky Sect's invitation?" Luo Qingfeng opened his mouth to ask after the few people sat down.
Xiao Jian was the first to speak. "Would the Heavenly Sky Sect be so kind-hearted? I won't believe that even if you beat me to death! In my opinion, this is a trap."
Ling Potian valued each word like gold and said, "Yes, definitely it is a trap."
Ouyang Yu mused for a while before saying, "I feel that the possibility of being a trap is not big. Rather, I think the likelihood of making us as the cannon fodders is greater."
Luo Qingfeng was emotionless as he asked again, "How so?"
"Exploring an unknown mystic realm such as this, it's impossible for the great sects to send out a very powerful force. Wanting to diminish the sects' existing strength through this is clearly not very likely. The way I see it, this unknown mystic realm might really be dangerous. The Heavenly Sky Sect hopes to drag everyone over to shoulder the dangers together to obtain the greatest benefits while at the same time, reducing their own casualties." Ouyang Yu analyzed the situation.
Compared to Xiao Jian, Ouyang Yu was clearly much calmer. His analysis was also rather objective.
"Humph! The Heavenly Sky Sect is just like an old miser. When they see mystic realms, it's like they get injected with stimulants. How can they be so nice this time to invite us to explore together?" Xiao Jian disagreed.
"Therefore, there must be something that we don't know in between. All in all, the Heavenly Sky Sect definitely doesn't have any good intentions. I feel that we can casually send some people over to brush them off," Ouyang Yu said.
"I disagree! Casually sending some people over to be cannon fodder for others? Tranquil Cloud Sect disciples are all groomed by us through innumerable painstaking efforts. How can we send them to their death?" Xiao Jian said with irritation in his tone.
About this point that the Heavenly Sky Sect did not have any good intentions, everybody did not have any disagreement, and it was also impossible to have differing opinions.
It was just that whether or go or not was a problem. It clearly caused some discrepancies.
Ouyang Yu still wanted to continue, but Luo Qingfeng made a hand gesture to indicate to them to stop arguing. He turned and said to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, share your perspective."
After the incident with Li Zhangyu, Luo Qingfeng's understanding of Ye Yuan went up another level.
Ye Yuan could set up a Spirit Gathering Formation under that sort of abrupt situation and force Li Zhangyu away while he himself went along with the strategy to sanctify Canghua Sword. It was evident how meticulous his thoughts were!
The way Luo Qingfeng saw things, Ye Yuan's talent was without question. It was simply on a different level from his peers.
But for him to even possess such meticulous thinking at this age, it was truly hard to come by.
Hence, he intentionally called Ye Yuan over today to let him also listen to the purpose of the Heavenly Sky Sect sending an envoy. Perhaps he could come up with some constructive opinions.
When Xiao Jian and the others saw Ye Yuan, they were also stupefied for a long time, and could not quite ascertain Luo Qingfeng's thoughts.
This action, could it be to let Ye Yuan participate in the Tranquil Cloud Sect upper echelons' decision-making?
Ye Yuan's talent was unrivaled, this fact was already irrefutable by anyone. But he was so young; wasn't it somewhat trifling to let him join in the sect upper echelon in decision making?
Especially for Ouyang Yu. When Ye Yuan had just entered the sect, he even acceded to Ouyang Ming's inciting and wanted to sentence Ye Yuan to death through the Tri-Hall Joint Hearing.
But later on, a series of Ye Yuan's actions thoroughly dispelled any thoughts of opposing Ye Yuan.
Especially after Ye Yuan sold the Soul Driving Pill formula to the sect. Several elders from the Ouyang Family already obtained a breakthrough with help from the Soul Driving Pill.
Under such circ.u.mstances, how could Ouyang Yu bring himself to oppose Ye Yuan again?
Wouldn't he become an ungrateful petty character?
As for Ouyang Ming's side, Ouyang Yu already issued a strict order to make him watch his woman well to not stir up any more shit. Otherwise, bear the consequences himself!
A tiny little secular world family did not enter Ouyang Yu's eyes yet; let alone the fact that this family clan was already wasted.
Ye Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "If it's as Li Zhangyu said, then this mystic realm is similarly of utmost importance to our sect. Our Tranquil Cloud Sect simply can't compare to these great sects in terms of resources. If we even give up on this chance as well, wouldn't we lag behind with each step? I reckon that other sect masters also can't resist this large cake that the Heavenly Sky Sect delivered and will send people forth."
After that day, Luo Qingfeng gave Ye Yuan a crash course on the faction distribution in the Southern Domain. Now, he already had a preliminary understanding of the Southern Domain's situation.
"But this mystic realm is so dangerous. Even a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm did not make it out alive after entering. Could it be that we all have to send Sea Transformation Realm elders in?" Xiao Jian threw out this question.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "That isn't necessary. Because I think that even if we send elders there, it's useless too."
"Oh? Why is that?" Luo Qingfeng asked.
When Ye Yuan said this, not only Xiao Jian, even Luo Qingfeng revealed an attentive expression.
It was very clear that Ye Yuan noticed some issues that they did not realize.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Sect Master and Hall Heads, think about it. With the Heavenly Sky Sect's greed, how can they possibly send people to invite other sects to explore the mystic realm together unless they had no other alternatives?"
"That's why we were all guessing earlier whether the Heavenly Sky Sect is plotting some insidious scheme!" Xiao Jian.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Just as Hall Head Ouyang said, these sort of wiles and schemes don't have much use. Even if our teams were all annihilated, it wouldn't harm our sect's foundations. Why do they need to take such a superfluous action?"
"Then you say; just what is it?" Xiao Jian said anxiously.
"Why did Li Zhangyu only say that they sent a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm into the mystic realm? Although Sea Transformation Realm is a mid-level pillar in the various great sects, the Heavenly Sky Sect wouldn't treasure life to such an extent, right?" Ye Yuan said with a grin.
Luo Qingfeng was absorbed in his thoughts as he said, "You're saying . . . they already sent a Sea Transformation Realm inside?"
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "That's right! Furthermore, that Sea Transformation Realm definitely did not come back alive!"
Everyone s.u.c.k.e.d in a cold breath. Thinking it over, Ye Yuan's analysis was plainly the most logical.
It was just that when Li Zhangyu was talking, he deliberately clouded this area. That was why everybody did not think of it.
After all, a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm was already very important to a sect. Even for a large sect like Heavenly Sky Sect, it was also impossible to abandon them at will. Hence, Luo Qingfeng did not think deeper into this problem either.
But when they heard Ye Yuan say that even a Sea Transformation Realm did not make it out alive, their hearts would not stop pounding.
Wasn't this unknown mystic realm a little too perilous?
"Even a Sea Transformation Realm died inside. Then even more so we must not go!" Xiao Jian said with a frown.
To the Tranquil Cloud Sect, they could not afford the death of any Sea Transformation Realm expert.
But Luo Qingfeng did not speak right away. He only spoke after thinking it over, "Ye Yuan, were your words unfinished? Should we go or not?"
Towards this Luo Qingfeng, Ye Yuan also quite admired him. He was unquestionably a terrifying figure with meticulous thoug
hts.
These few years, if not for him, the Tranquil Cloud Sect might be in even more arduous circ.u.mstances than now.
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Go. Why shouldn't we go? There are surely many natural treasures in this mystic realm. Otherwise, the Heavenly Sky Sect would have forsaken it themselves. This is also an opportunity for our sect!"
Chapter 287 - Skymaple Exits Seclusion!
"Ye Yuan! Even a Sea Transformation Realm lost his life after entering! Do you want our elders to seek their own doom?"
Ling Potian rarely said so many words. It was just that he was very stern currently. The average disciple would probably start stammering when they saw it.
"Potian, let Ye Yuan finish talking," Luo Qingfeng said.
Ling Potian was stunned. He immediately shut his mouth and kept quiet.
Ye Yuan did not mind either. He continued, "If my conjectures are correct, it might be because the space isn't stable or due to restrictions on laws. Sea Transformation Realm and above martial artists are unable to enter this mystic realm. It's overly dangerous for Crystal Formation Realm martial artists to enter; that's why the Heavenly Sky Sect would join hands with the other seven sects to explore together in an unprecedented event."
Luo Qingfeng was also very surprised. He said, "So that's the case! This way, everything can be explained! It's just that since this is the case, it's surely very risky for Crystal Formation Realm martial artist to enter. Do we still join in the bustle?"
"Wealth comes with danger! The dangers are all the same to us Eight Great Sects. The Heavenly Sky Sect is just looking for more cannon fodders. Then, let's knock out one of their front teeth! Opportunities like this are not recurrent!" Ye Yuan said.
"Ye Yuan, I know that you're tremendously talented and your combat powers are also extremely great, but you mustn't look down on the other sects' junior generation! Especially the Heavenly Sky Sect. Their personal disciples are much stronger than Yuntian and the rest," Xiao Jian suddenly interjected and said gravely in a sincere tone.
As the Southern Domain's strongest sect, the Heavenly Sky Sect's personal disciples' strength was obviously the greatest!
Although Li Zhangyu was accepted as a personal disciple by a grand elder, that was only because his potential was huge.
In terms of real strength, he was not considered much in the Heavenly Sky Sect.
Those personal disciples with immense seniority were the existences with the greatest strength today.
Ye Yuan suddenly grinned and said, "I was only providing an opinion for Lord Sect Master. As for whether he accepts it or not, I dare not dispute. But if Sect Master decides to go ahead, I hope that I can be considered one of the members."
"No way! Even a Ninth Level Crystal Formation Realm martial artist died inside. You're only at the Spirit Condensation Realm, going in is too dangerous! Ye Yuan, you're our Tranquil Cloud Sect's hope. I don't wish for you to be in any danger!" Luo Qingfeng directly rejected it.
You got to be kidding!
When he broke through two days ago, Luo Qingfeng was so frightened that he nearly crocked.
Exploring such a dangerous mystic realm this time, if anything were to happen, he would not be able to compensate even if he threw in the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect!
But Ye Yuan did not act appropriately with Luo Qingfeng's expectation. Luo Qingfeng knew that he could not convince Ye Yuan by looking at the expression in his eyes.
Luo Qingfeng was crying bitterness in his heart!
He initially already decided to go for it. But looking at this attitude from Ye Yuan, he started to hesitate again.
This living ancestor was really willful!
What did a Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist run over to play with a bunch of Crystal Formation Realm martial artists for?
"What's happening?"
Luo Qingfeng and the rest exchanged glances and suddenly thought of something. They could not help becoming wildly elated!
"Martial Uncle! He-He broke through! That's truly fantastic!" Xiao Jian said joyfully.
"Go! Let's go and take a look! Ye Yuan, you come too. You have great contributions for Martial Uncle to be able to break through!" Luo Qingfeng said.
The few people rushed to Skymaple Court at fire-speed only to see black clouds gathering over the court.
"It's Soul Tribulation! Martial Uncle he's starting to cross his Soul Tribulation!" Ouyang Yu exclaimed.
As an alchemist, his greatest wish was to be able to cross a Soul Tribulation once.
When martial artists open up the Sea Transformation Realm, Soul Sea Realm was going against the heavens. Hence, when martial artists cultivated to the Soul Sea Realm and beyond, they would face the test of heavenly tribulation!
And when alchemists cultivate past the Soul Sea Realm, their soul force would have a qualitative leap. Every breakthrough will similarly cause heavenly tribulation to descend!
However, the heavenly tribulation for alchemists was different from martial artists. It only targeted the divine soul. Hence, it was called soul tribulation!
If Ouyang Yu could breakthrough to the Soul Sea Realm and become an Alchemy King, he would experience the first soul tribulation in his life.
Except . . . this step was way too difficult for him!
That mass of dark clouds was not large, but the extremely horrifying energy was encompassed within it, filling people's heart with trepidation.
Before long, fine lightning began to fall, directly penetrating the residence, rumbling into the place that Skymaple was in seclusion.
The lightning grew progressively more and increasingly dense. Just the awe could make Crystal Formation Realm martial artists feel asphyxiated!
When Ye Yuan saw this familiar scene from far away, boundless emotions welled up in his heart.
In his previous life, he had tided over dozens of soul tribulations and was all too familiar with this.
But in this life, this was the first time Ye Yuan saw something like soul tribulation. It naturally aroused his boundless reminiscence.
Since it was called soul tribulation, it was a calamity for the martial artist's divine soul!
Many alchemists fell to the soul tribulation, their souls dispersed to the wind.
Alchemists who could cross dozens of soul tribulations and reach the pinnacle were all virtually invincible existences!
Ye Yuan in his previous life walked towards the pinnacle step by step like this.
But in this life, he believed that he would still walk like this step by step towards the pinnacle!
No, in this life, he wanted to walk even further!
The four people around him apparently did not notice Ye Yuan's gallant feel. They watched this scene anxiously.
Roughly an hour later, the lightning gradually lessened. The dark clouds in the sky also started to dissipate. The soul tribulation finally ended.
"Everyone, come in." Skymaple's words called them in. He had obviously discovered the people outside long ago.
It was just that this voice was rather worn out. It looks like the Skymaple who had just crossed the soul tribulation was still quite weak.
But Ye Yuan knew that this kind of weakness would not persist for long. Very soon, Skymaple's soul force would increase explosively and truly reach the level of middle-rank Alchemy King.
Seeing Ye Yuan, Skymaple was also very surprised, but very happy.
"Haha, I didn't think that Ye Yuan you're also here," Skymaple said jubilantly.
It was all thanks to Ye Yuan that he could break through to middle-rank Alchemy King. He naturally felt close to Ye Yuan when he saw him.
Ye Yuan went forward to give a bow and said with a smile, "Congratulations to Grand Elder for breaking through to the middle-rank Alchemy King!"
"Sigh, what's there to congratulate? Isn't this middle-rank Alchemy King of mine all due to you?"
"Haha, this is all Grand Elder's profound fortunes. What has it got to do with this child? Grand Elder broke through to middle
-rank Alchemy King. Tranquil Cloud Sect's sky propping pillar is much more stable. This is naturally something worth congratulating," Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Seeing that Ye Yuan did not claim credit at all, Skymaple was even more pleased. Smiling gently, he said, "This is pretty good! After this old man recuperates for a few days, I'll start refining Soul Luring Pills! Xiao Jian, Potian, the two of you also need to cultivate harder in the future and strive to break through to half-step Soul Sea Realm soon! This way, my Tranquil Cloud Sect will have three Soul Sea Realm experts, and our strength will increase tremendously! Let's see if the Heavenly Sky Sect still dares to bully my Tranquil Cloud Sect!"
When Skymaple said those words, the four people were so agitated that they trembled non-stop!
Soul Luring Pill was a medicinal pill to help Sea Transformation Realm experts breakthrough to the Soul Sea Realm. It required the cultivation of middle-rank Alchemy King to be able to refine.
But how many years had it been since a middle-rank Alchemy King alchemist appeared in the Tranquil Cloud Sect?
If the Tranquil Cloud Sect could produce three Soul Sea Realm powerhouse all at once, then they could jump to the middle reaches of the Eight Great Sects.
Other sects would have to reevaluate before thinking about bullying the Tranquil Cloud Sect again!
Chapter 288 - Sending Off
The might of alchemists laid here!
Back then, the reason Ouyang Tuotian could let the Tranquil Cloud Sect flourish at the top for a time was due to this.
As long as they had ample resources, alchemists could f.o.r.c.i.b.l.y use medicinal pills to pile up a bunch of powerhouses!
Three Soul Sea Realm powerhouses. Even if they were only three First Level Soul Sea Realm, they would also absolutely be a force that most could not overlook in the Southern Domain.
"En? Ye Yuan, you already broke through to the Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm. This . . . Isn't this cultivation speed seriously a little too fast?" Skymaple suddenly noticed Ye Yuan's change and exclaimed in surprise.
Towards Ye Yuan's cultivation speed, he had long heard about it too. These words were more of worrying that Ye Yuan's foundation would be shaky.
