  After struggling repeatedly, Star Abyss finally could not resist Ye Yuan's temptation and swore the Heavenly Dao Oath.

  "Now, you can tell me, right?" Master, he . . . Is he well right now?" Star Abyss asked somewhat uneasily.

  Hearing these words, Ye Yuan also had a rather complicated expression. He only spoke after musing for a moment, "Whether he's well or not, I don't know either. Maybe he's okay, maybe he's not okay."

  Star Abyss was stupefied and could not being saying furiously, "You made me swear a Heavenly Dao Oath just to give me such an answer?"

  Ye Yuan looked at him and gave a long sigh, saying, "How do you think a 16-year-old youth like me can have such incredible alchemy skills? Although the Tri-Origins Samsara Art isn't considered some pinnacle ability, wanting to reach the Legendary Realm isn't something easy either. Do you think that it can be executed by a 16-year-old youth?"

  Star Abyss was secretly alarmed and said in surprise, "Is it possible that you . . . But your body and divine soul is very compatible. How is this possible?"

  Ye Yuan naturally would not tell him that this was due to those golden characters. He just said indifferently, "The means of the Divine Realm is unimaginable to you. This isn't considered much to me."

  "This . . . This . . . is indeed so! I suspected previously, but after using my divine soul to investigate for a long time, I didn't discover any traces at all either. So I dispelled this sort of thought too. To think that . . ." Star Abyss said with an emotional sigh.

  Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "Actually before I took over, I was an Alchemy Emperor!"

  "What?!"

  How did Star Abyss have any demeanor of an expert right now? He nearly jumped up.

  "A-A-Alchemy Emperor! Y-Y-You're actually an Alchemy Emperor! Oh my God!" Star Abyss stammered.

  To an alchemist, their lifelong aspiration was not to reach the Divine King Realm but the legendary Alchemy Emperor Realm!

  And to Star Abyss, forget about Alchemy Emperor, even Alchemy Ancestor was a realm that was far from his reach.

  Alchemy Emperor. The weight of these two words was too heavy!

  Ye Yuan seemed to have long expected Star Abyss's reaction and said coolly, "That's right! Li Daohang that boy still has some abilities. At that time, he wanted to enter my tutelage. I didn't accept him. But he brazenly refused to leave and followed behind me to do a considerable period of chores. Later on, he became an Alchemy Venerable too."

  That boy . . .

  Star Abyss's face twitched. His master was that boy. Then what was he?

  That grandson?

  F*ck me!

  A little kid scolding the locust while pointing at the mulberry 1 , how to tolerate it?

  Star Abyss could not resist cursing in his heart.

  Ye Yuan clearly saw through his reaction and said nonchalantly, "You don't have to feel unwilling to submit. You're also aware that in the martial artist world, the strong reigns supreme. The alchemist world is likewise so! With your present accomplishments, you've just barely learned the rudiments. Li Daohang is also just barely considered to have gained a higher level of mastery later on. In front of me, if he isn't a boy, then what?"

  Star Abyss said displeasedly, "Why don't you talk about what traits and characteristics that Li Daohang has? Maybe it's the same surname and same name!"

  Star Abyss was an old fox. He naturally would not be ushered in by Ye Yuan so easily. Just as he said, there were many people with the same surname and name. Also, Ye Yuan might be deliberately duping him.

  Ye Yuan said disdainfully, "That boy doesn't have any other abilities. That shamelessly bold and hard to shake off ability is powerful enough! He spent a full three years in the main hall pestering before I grudgingly agreed to take him in. If you have to say what characteristics he has . . ."

  As he spoke, Ye Yuan casually struck out several seals. Star Abyss's expression could not help changing when he saw the situation. "Wandering Seal!"

  Ye Yuan made a move again. Star Abyss was shocked once more. "Green Lotus Seal!"

  "Seven Evils Kindred Seal!"

  ". . . . . ."

  Each seal that Ye Yuan struck out, Star Abyss's throat would raise an octave. At the back, he was practically about to use the Lion's Roar.

  "I wonder if these can prove that the Li Daohang I know is your master?" Ye Yuan asked with an amused look.

  Star Abyss nodded like a chicken pecking for rice. His gaze when looking at Ye Yuan was filled with awe and veneration!

  This 16-year-old youth before his eyes was really an Alchemy Emperor powerhouse that took over a body to rebirth?

  "These are all the seals that Master used to rise to fame. That person . . . is really Master!" Star Abyss no longer doubted.

  Ye Yuan said scornfully, "Relying on these lousy things and also being able to become famous. No wonder his level was so trash! It means veiled insults

  Chapter 394 - Shattering Fantasy

  "You! If you dare to speak impertinently about Master again, I won't be courteous!"

  Ye Yuan repeatedly belittled Li Daohang over and over again. Finally, it made Star Abyss unable to bear it and explode.

  But how could Ye Yuan bother with his feelings?

  "How did Li Daohang that boy teach you? Don't you have any consciousness of honoring and respecting your teachers?" Ye Yuan said coolly.

  Star Abyss crumbled and said, "Of course I respect and honor my teachers! But what has this got to do with you?"

  "Although I didn't take Li Daohang in as my disciple, no matter what, he followed me for nearly a hundred years too. It's not too much for me to say that I'm half a teacher to him. If you being impolite to me is not disrespecting your teacher, then what is it?"

  "This . . ."

  "En, now, I'm a tiger that landed in the plains. If you still wish to kill me, do as you please. But, if you ascend to the Divine Realm in the future, be sure not to go and find Li Daohang. If he knows that you killed me, he'll smack you to death in one palm without hesitation at all. Of course, with your talent, ascending to the Divine Realm is probably also something very challenging."

  ". . . . . ."

  Star Abyss ruminated over it. Clearly he fell into a dilemma.

  The person that he respected the most in this life was Li Daohang, while this young man before his eyes actually said that he was Li Daohang's half a teacher. Wouldn't that mean that he was his grandteacher?

  If Ye Yuan really died in his hands, wouldn't he really become someone who betrayed his master and forefathers?

  But this person was an Alchemy Emperor who took over a body to rebirth!

  How powerful an Alchemy Emperor was, Star Abyss completely had no notion at all. But he knew that it was very, very powerful. Powerful until he was simply unable to imagine it!

  The present Ye Yuan in front of him was akin to an ant, while if he was in front of an Alchemy Emperor, he did not even count as an ant; insignificant like a speck of dust.

  Such a figure was way more terrifying than any genius character!

  Although Ye Yuan's strength was not formidable, his various kinds of means were inconceivable. Before long, he would become an extremely terrifying opponent of His Majesty, the Wind Emperor!

  To kill or not to kill?

  Ye Yuan just looked at Star Abyss like this and was not in a hurry to press him.

  He was not very clear about this Star Abyss's disposition. But he was still very clear about Li Daohang's moral character.

  Li Daohang was a very talented and very hardworking person. While he did not take in him as his disciple, Li Daohang treated him as his master all along, silently following by his side for close to a hundred years.

  Of course, in this hundred years, his harvest was also tremendous, growing from an Alchemy Ancestor to an Alchemy Venerable expert!

  As for Star Abyss, Ye Yuan actually still had some confidence.

  Previously, when he mentioned Li Daohang, that sort of revering and respectful expression did not seem to
be fake.

  Indeed, after Star Abyss mused for quite a while, he s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath and said to Ye Yuan, "I can let you off too. But you have to guarantee not to let my Fierce Gale World's people plunge into misery and suffering."

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, "You're overthinking it! This sort of thing like a war between two worlds is a matter as big as the heavens to you all. But to me, it essentially counts for nothing. My horizons have never been on this plane! After you ascend to the Divine Realm, you'll naturally understand the meaning of these words of mine."

  Star Abyss was dazed. Thinking about it, that was true too.

  To an Alchemy Emperor, the matters of the Lower Realms were too inconsequential.

  "That will be good!" Star Abyss heaved a sigh in relief.

  "If the war between two worlds can't be avoided, I most likely won't be able to detach myself from it. There are my present kin and friends over there. I have no way of watching them all become Fierce Gale World slaves! However, I can ensure you that I won't help the Endless World invade the Fierce Gale World. Honestly speaking, if you have the capabilities, you can persuade the Wind Emperor not to invade the Endless World. This way, we can all be happy." Ye Yuan said.

  Star Abyss gave a bitter laugh. "Easier said than done. You've also seen the Fierce Gale World's living conditions. It's impossible for His Majesty, the Wind Emperor, to give up this war."

  Ye Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Foolish! Once the war between two worlds launches, it will only plunge the people into an abyss of misery and suffering! Even if the Fierce Gale World wins, it will definitely be a pyrrhic victory too. He used improving living conditions as a pretense to invade another world, isn't it in order to satisfy his own selfish interests? To plunder more cultivation resources? At that time, the ones dead will be his citizens, but the beneficiary will be him, this high and lofty Wind Emperor, His Majesty!"

  But Star Abyss disagreed. "Lord Wind Emperor is already standing at the pinnacle of the world. Why would he still have so much d.e.s.i.r.e towards resources? Him doing so is of course for the millions of martial artists in the Fierce Gale World!"

  "Heh heh, you fool! Just a Boundless Realm. He's standing at the top of the world? Still early! The greater one's strength, the greater the requirements towards resources! Otherwise, he could have shattered the void and left long ago with his strength. Why is he still reluctant to leave the Lower Realms? Because he knows that if he went to the Divine Realm, he would only vanish into the faces of the crowd!" Ye Yuan said with a cold sneer.

  Star Abyss wanted to refute but felt that any words were very feeble.

  "This . . . Impossible!" Star Abyss said impossible, but he was already convinced in his heart.

  "Hur hur. Although you're the Alchemist Association's Association Head, your strength is not there yet. There are still many things that you don't know. But he, as the ruler of a world, knows way more things than you do! Don't look at how you can summon rain and clouds in the capital. After you ascend to the Divine Realm, you're also just a servant. The intensity of the competition in the Divine Realm is what the current you simply cannot imagine! The vast majority of the martial artists who ascend would croak before even enduring pass the initial stage after going to the Divine Realm," Ye Yuan said with a laugh.

  Ye Yuan spoke indifferently. But Star Abyss's hair stood on its ends from shock after hearing it.

  To him, the Divine Realm was a holy and pure land; a paradise.

  There were limitless cultivation resources over there and countless powerhouses. It was the playground for martial artists and alchemists.

  But Ye Yuan's words shattered all of his fantasies to smithereens.

  "But . . . I'm in charge of a world's Alchemist Association. There's also hard work even if I haven't performed meritorious deeds, right? Can it be that the Alchemist Association completely doesn't care about my life and death at all?" Star Abyss asked in bewilderment.

  "Of course they care! The Divine Realm's resources are indeed abundant until you can't imagine it. However, there are also so many martial artists that you can't imagine it. Alchemists are similarly so many that you can't imagine it! Especially in a place like the Alchemist Association. It has the strongest bunch of alchemists in the Divine Realm. The alchemists that ascend are also countless. If resources are distributed equally, then the Alchemist Association would not have been able to make ends meet. Although you also have some cleverness in trivial matters, you're still a lot worse compared to Li Daohang. Do you feel that you can get the Alchemist Association's emphasis?"

  Ye Yuan's words were like a small hammer, shattering Star Abyss's glass heart bit by bit.

  Star Abyss felt like his world outlook instantly disintegrated; his entire being lost his bearings.

  People were aware of their own affairs. Star Abyss's talent in alchemy might be top-notch in the Fierce Gale World, but there were countless lower planes. He was nothing impressive among them and even less of a something after reaching the Divine Realm.

  Ye Yuan saying that he would go to the Alchemist Association to do menial labor was possibly already giving him face!

  "Then . . . Then what should I do?" Star Abyss was utterly confused.

  Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Li Daohang was smarter than you and more talented than you. So he did not join the Alchemist Association. His skin was also thick enough to beg me to take him in. But you've already stuck on the Alchemist Association's label and can only pave a bloody path for yourself. The prerequisite is that you have the capabilities!"

  Chapter 395 - Conflict

  Star Abyss was completely befuddled!

  In truth, the Fierce Gale World's Alchemist Association basically had no relations with the Divine Realm.

  This seemed to be a forgotten land.

  Of course, this could not be blamed on others either. Who asked the Fierce Gale World's Alchemy Path to be very underdeveloped?

  Hence, Star Abyss's understanding of the Divine Realm was entirely fantasized by himself.

  He only knew how naïve he was after listening to Ye Yuan's words now.

  Star Abyss did not doubt Ye Yuan's words, because his words were the most logical! It was just that he imagined it without basis to give himself an intense psychological hint that the Divine Realm was a beautiful place.

  Yet, this was simply impossible.

  Straightening out his thinking, Star Abyss suddenly bowed towards Ye Yuan and said respectfully, "Star Abyss is ignorant! Senior, please point out the right path!"

  Unknowingly, Star Abyss already took Ye Yuan to be an old monster like existence, and quietly changed his form of address.

  Ye Yuan reached out a hand to prop him up and said with a sigh, "You're also aware of what happened to me now. How can I dare to receive your solemn grace? I think you also know that me saying this is actually just in order for you to let me off and to carry on living. This is far from showing you the right part, but I can still manage to let you ascend to the Divine Realm."

  Knowing when to stop and go over the limit was as bad as falling short.

  The disparity in strength between Ye Yuan and Star Abyss was too great. He wasted his breath talking until now in order to make Star Abyss open his mouth to beg him.

  As long as Star Abyss required Ye Yuan's assistance, he naturally would not harm him.

  One must not have malicious intentions, but also must not be without caution against others. Although he had Li Daohang this layer of relationship between Star Abyss, Ye Yuan had to take precaution against him.

  Only by arousing the d.e.s.i.r.e within Star Abyss's heart could he guarantee complete success.

  Indeed, when Star Abyss heard these words, he became unbelievably agitated!

  "How will Senior teach me?" Star Abyss asked excitedly.

  "You're Li Daohang's disciple. I believe you do not lack in soul cultivation techniques. But you're only at the middle-stage sovereign level today, indicating that it's already very hard for you to break through again,
" Ye Yuan said.

  Star Abyss had an abashed look as he said, "I've lost face for Master."

  Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Lost what face? That boy himself wasn't much either. Followed me for a hundred years and didn't even break through to the Alchemy Emperor Realm. That's called losing face! The Fierce Gale World's resources are sparse, and it's indeed not suitable for alchemists to break through. For you to be able to cultivate to such a realm was already not very easy."

  This was not Ye Yuan deliberately posturing in front of Star Abyss. The Medicine King Hall truly had many Alchemy Emperor experts.

  The person that he brought along for a hundred years had yet to break through to the Alchemy Emperor Realm. This made him feel very ashamed.

  Alchemy Emperor Realm was not the pinnacle for alchemists. It was only another beginning. Similarly being an Alchemy Emperor expert, there was a distance of a heavenly chasm between Ye Yuan and the rest.

  From low-rank to peak Alchemy Emperor, this was a gulf that many people could not cross in their entire lives!

  Ye Yuan was famed as the person most likely to become an Alchemy God precisely because his speed when breaking through to peak Alchemy Emperor was too quick!

  So swift that it made those long renowned peak Alchemy Emperor powerhouses perspire from shame!

  Hearing Ye Yuan scold Li Daohang once again, Star Abyss wished that he did not hear it. Right now, he could only pretend to not have heard it and played possum as he said, "Could it be that Senior has a way to let me break through to Perfection Sovereign Level?"

  Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Have you ever heard of Soul Meld Pill?"

  Star Abyss's entire body quivered, and he exclaimed in shock, "Senior can actually refine the Soul Meld Pill?! I've seen that before in the association's records. That's a legendary level Tier 5 medicinal pill!"

  Ye Yuan curled his mouth and said, "You should have thrown away those lousy records in the Fierce Gale World long ago. How does the Soul Meld Pill count as some legendary level medicinal pill? You don't think that an Alchemy Emperor can't even refine a Tier 5 medicinal pill, right?"
