Long Teng's figure suddenly appeared beside Ye Yuan and gave his head a blow.
Ye Yuan could not help being stifled when he heard. This was just like when he had just opened up a window, thinking that he could see the scenery outside, but was kicked back by Long Teng heartlessly with one foot.
"In that case, Senior Long Teng, you already reached that level back then too? Oh, also, Senior Fang Tian." Ye Yuan said gloomily.
Long Teng nodded and said, "Fang Tian's essence, energy, and spirit, had all already reached the limits, that's why he would think of forcefully breaking through to Deity Realm. Yet … this was simply nothing more than wishful thinking! As for me, I was still significantly worse compared to Fang Tian."
When Ye Yuan heard, the corners of his mouth involuntarily twitched slightly.
Fang Tian's strength back then was far stronger than his. Essence, energy, and spirit, three paths at the great circle of perfection, such horrifying strengths were sufficient to sweep away any existence in the Divine Realm.
But even so, Fang Tian was still unable to break through the Divine Dao shackles!
Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh, "I understand. Back then, Father should have comprehended the Medicine God's Soul Canon's divine inscriptions, and his divine soul should have turned golden too. Hence, that's how he was able to refine a half-divine pill. His divine soul realm back then was probably the Divine Realm's strongest!"
Long Teng nodded and said, "Exactly so."
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Huhu, I was greedy. How can the Deity Realm be so easy to break through? But comprehending the Medicine God's Soul Canon, I seem to be able to enter the soul suppressing space at any time! Comprehending the Medicine God's Soul Canon's divine inscriptions in there can be said to yield twice the results with half the effort!"
Long Teng said, "This Soul Suppressing Pearl is truly magical. I even have a feeling that its grade is probably not lower than the Vast Heaven Stele!"
...
The process of refining the Unreal Enlightenment Divine Pill was unexpectedly smooth.
After the divine soul had a qualitative transformation, Ye Yuan refining medicinal pills was simply akin to having divine aid. His foundation was exceptionally solid in the first place, and his understanding of medicinal properties was also exceedingly profound. Adding on the golden divine soul, the Unreal Enlightenment Divine Pill that originally should be very taxing was not as difficult to refine as imagined.
The only thing that he was lacking was essence energy. After finishing refining, his entire person appeared somewhat drained.
The medicinal pill entered his hand. A hint of self-satisfaction flashed across Ye Yuan's eyes.
In his previous life, refining mystic grade medicinal pills was not considered a very difficult matter to him. But it was absolutely not as effortless as it was now.
"M-Milord, how is it?" Ao Qian asked rather agitatedly.
Seeing that not only did the others recover their strength and even improved a step further, Ao Qian could not help becoming somewhat anxious about his gains and losses.
After all, the medicinal pills that he required, the degree of difficulty was too high. Even peak alchemy emperors might not be able to refine them too.
He naturally did not doubt Ye Yuan's ability. But he was afraid that Ye Yuan was unable to refine out a high-quality medicinal pill.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Unreal Enlightenment Divine Pill, arcane insight rank!"
Ao Qian's entire body trembled, and tears actually coursed down his old face.
...
Three days later, in the 500 thousand years region.
Jian Wushuang suddenly said agitatedly, "Uncle Thirteen, you look, that's a Seven Stars Miluo!"
Sword Thirteen nodded and said, "That's right, it's indeed a Seven Stars Miluo! With it, Wushuang, you can finally break through to the realm of Void Mystic!"
The Heavenly Sword Sect entering the Immemorial Medicine Garden this time, their objective apart from divine rank spirit medicines was this Seven Stars Miluo.
A Seven Stars Miluo had the function of driving out mental demons. A 500 thousand-year-old Seven Stars Miluo could virtually shield all mental demons and had exceedingly good effects towards a martial artist's breakthrough.
Jian Wushuang was actually a Heavenly Sword Sect's genius with exceedingly powerful talent and rose up at practically the same time with Ji Qingyun.
But in this era, any genius would have to be trampled underneath Ji Qingyun's foot!
Regardless of whether they were alchemists or martial artists, which person could stand at the pinnacle of this Divine Realm, and sit as equals at the same table with those peak figures within 500 years?
These few years, Jian Wushuang had been unable to break through Ji Qingyun this devilish obstruction all along. Hence, he kept failing to step into the realm of Void Mystic.
Otherwise, with his talent, his current strength should likely not be beneath the Extreme Sword Divine King and Thundercry Divine King already.
"Hahaha! Truly, heaven is blessing me!" Jian Wushuang said with wild elation.
"Roar!"
As if replying to Jian Wushuang's wild laughter, an angry roar billowed into the sky.
Jian Wushuang's expression changed. A lion-form desolate beast already appeared in his sights.
Sword Thirteen's face fell, and he said, "It's the Desolate Ancient Celestial Lion. Appearing in this region, its strength is likely already not inferior to mine! Wushuang, I'll draw it away, you go and pluck the Seven Stars Miluo!"
Jian Wushuang's expression sunk, and he said with a nod, "Be careful, Uncle Thirteen!"
Sword Thirteen slowly nodded his head. Lifting his hand, it was a ray of sword light that rumbled straight for the Desolate Ancient Celestial Lion.
Rumble!
The Desolate Ancient Celestial Lion actually did not evade nor dodge and received this ray of sword light, and was completely unscathed!
Sword Thirteen's expression changed. This Desolate Ancient Celestial Lion's strength was even above his expectations!
"Vile beast, prepare to die!"
Sword Thirteen gave a loud cry and immediately opened up his divine king domain. A violent attack rumbled over towards the Desolate Ancient Celestial Lion explosively.
The Desolate Ancient Celestial Lion was finally infuriated by Sword Thirteen. With a crazed howl, its figure chased over towards Sword Thirteen like lightning.
Sword Thirteen's speed was exceedingly swift and led him away into the distance.
When Jian Wushuang saw the situation, he could not help being overjoyed and sprinted over towards the Seven Stars Miluo.
Right then, Jian Wushuang's expression suddenly changed. Countless sharp spikes stabbed towards him.
Jian Wushuang's scalp tingled, but it was already too late to want to dodge. He might as well take advantage of the opportunity to roll on the ground, avoiding this attack with a narrow shave.
"This … This Seven Stars Miluo actually became a spirit! This time, it's rather troublesome!" Jian Wushuang said with a frown.
The Seven Stars Miluo did not give Jian Wushuang the slightest chance to rest. Countless sharp spikes blotted out the skies and covered the earth and rammed at him.
These spurs were incomparably sharp. If stabbed to this extent, no need to think, and one would also know the result.
Jian Wushuang was in an incomparably dismal state and just fled for his life ardently. How could he still care about plucking the Seven Stars Miluo?
All of a sudden, he discovered that those sharp spikes were no more. The tempest-like spurs actually stopped.
He focused his eyes and looked over. He saw Ye Yuan currently playing with the Seven Stars Miluo in his hand, looking at him with a smile on his face.
Chapter 1055 - Flattering Oneself
Seeing this scene, Jian Wushuang exploded all at once!
"Ji Qingyun, you despicable person! Our Heavenly Sword Sect is currently surroundin
g and suppressing the Seven Stars Miluo, but you actually sit idly and reap the fruits of others' labor! Hand over the Seven Stars Miluo, and I'll spare you from death!"
Ye Yuan said with an innocent look, "My great Young Master Jian, I saved your life. Do you treat your savior this way? This Seven Stars Miluo has already become a medicine spirit. With your strength, you can't deal with it at all. If not for me taking it in, you'd already become a corpse now."
Jian Wushuang was stifled. He was teetering on his feet just now and clearly could not hold on anymore already.
If those spurs were released for a while more, it would really be hard to say what the outcome would be.
But earlier, he saw Sword Thirteen and that Desolate Ancient Celestial Lion fight until the skies turned dark and the earth dimmed. He himself was already made dusty and dirty in appearance by this Seven Stars Miluo. But in the end, Ji Qingyun got off cheap. He could not accept this result at all.
"Bullsh*t! It was clearly you who stole my Seven Stars Miluo, and you're still not admitting that you got off cheap here! Truly shameless to the extreme!" Jian Wushuang shouted fiercely.
Jian Wushuang felt like he was about to have a breakdown. Why was he nearly pricked to death by the Seven Stars Miluo, while this guy conveniently plucked it without extra trouble?
One had to know that Ye Yuan was merely First Level Dao Profound currently!
Ye Yuan was defeated by this guy's shamelessness and could only say, "Alright then, alright, even if I stole your Seven Stars Miluo, what do you want to do to me then?"
Jian Wushuang was filled with righteous indignation and drew his longsword without even thinking about it and said, "Leave behind the Seven Stars Miluo, and I'll spare you from death!"
Ye Yuan said with a doubtful look, "Really want me to leave it behind?"
"Rubbish! Are you leaving it or not?"
Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Fine, since you want it, giving it to you then."
Done talking, Ye Yuan directly threw the Seven Stars Miluo over.
Jian Wushuang could not help being thrilled when he saw the situation, and instinctively wanted to reach his hand out to go and catch.
This Seven Stars Miluo was too important to him. Without it, he would not be able to break through to the realm of Void Mystic!
But the next instant, Jian Wushuang's expression changed drastically.
That Seven Stars Miluo breaking free of Ye Yuan's palm immediately seemed to come to life. Spikes that covered the skies sprayed towards Jian Wushuang.
This time, Jian Wushuang was too close to it. There was no way to avoid it at all.
Right at this critical moment, several beams of swift and fierce sword light tore through the air and arrived.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.
The spurs were broken by the sword light one after another.
A figure arrived with a howl. Who could it be if not Sword Thirteen?
It was just that the Sword Thirteen at this time had holes everywhere on his body. His aura was also very chaotic, and there were even blackish-red bloodstains.
It looked like he had clearly just gone through a great battle.
Seeing Ye Yuan, Sword Thirteen's expression darkened slightly, and he said, "Ji Qingyun, you dare to kill Wushuang? This is seeking death here!"
Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Are your Heavenly Sword Sect's people all so unreasonable? I saved Jian Wushuang earlier. He insisted that I snatched his Seven Stars Miluo, and I returned the Seven Stars Miluo to him. You're saying to kill me too."
Sword Thirteen said with a cold snort, "Humph! Who in the Divine Realm doesn't know that you and Wushuang are sworn enemies? Will you be so kind-hearted?"
Ye Yuan sighed and said, "That Jian Wushuang is flattering himself. He's not qualified enough to be sworn enemies with me."
Sword Thirteen could not help choking up when he heard that and wanted to speak up to refute, but could not find the words.
Ye Yuan was just elaborating a fact. Regardless of whether in his previous life or present life, Jian Wushuang was never an opponent in Ye Yuan's eyes. It was Jian Wushuang's wishful thinking on his own part, viewing Ye Yuan as his mortal foe.
Jian Wushuang provoked Ji Qingyun back then for Mu Lingxue. As a result, he was almost wasted by Ji Qingyun.
At that time, although they were both successors of two mighty super holy lands, the strength disparity between the two people was too great!
Even in this life, Ye Yuan wielded a divine artifact in his hand and even brought along a large group of Void Mystic powerhouses. There was no need to make a move at all to deal with Jian Wushuang.
Except, these words stomped Jian Wushuang's pride into the earth in his ears. He roared, "Ji Qingyun, if you have the capabilities, don't use the divine artifact! Let's go one-on-one directly! With the likes of your current bit of strength, it isn't even enough to fill the crevices between my teeth!"
The current Jian Wushuang had already utterly lost his reason.
He felt that Ye Yuan was simply a jinx sent down by heaven specifically to target him.
Yet, when Sword Thirteen heard these words, he wished that he could find a hole in the ground to tunnel into.
Fights between martial artists would never talk about making others use something, or not use something. A life-or-death battle, any item was a part of strength, inclusive of luck.
As long as one could beat their opponent, any means was not an issue.
Being able to obtain a divine artifact in itself was a part of Ye Yuan's strength. How was there the logic of making people tie their two hands up?
Jian Wushuang saying this sort of words was an expression of yielding in itself already.
Who knew that after Ye Yuan heard, he said with a faint smile, "Is that so? Then you receive this move of mine and give it a shot!"
Jian Wushuang had yet to come back to his senses when a terrifying soul force already spread out. His divine soul instantly sunk into darkness.
When Jian Wushuang saw the situation, his expression could not help changing drastically: "Myriad Soul Extinction! You … Your divine soul boundary already broke through to high-rank Alchemy Emperor?"
In this instant, Jian Wushuang suddenly felt like his divine soul had tendencies of going to collapse and dissipate. His entire person was in a listless and muddled state.
Back then, Ye Yuan used precisely this move to severely injure him. He did not expect that after reincarnating, Jian Wushuang still did not have the strength to retaliate under this move.
Alchemists were not completely powerless to retaliate against martial artists. If the alchemist's divine soul mystic art was powerful enough, it was quite a headache for martial artists.
Like Ji Zhengyang, Old Man Han, this kind of existence, it was also just a flick of a finger for them to eradicate Void Mystic powerhouses whose strength were slightly weaker.
Unless martial artists were able to kill alchemists in an extremely short time or had a powerful divine soul defensive holy artifact, otherwise, there was only resigning themselves to fate.
"D-Don't! I … I admit defeat!" Jian Wushuang utterly crumbled.
Sword Thirteen did not intervene. He saw that Ye Yuan did not have killing intent. It was just that sensing Ye Yuan's Myriad Soul Extinction, his expression was very ugly.
He also did not expect that after this reincarnation, Jian Wushuang still did not have the strength to retaliate in front of Ji Qingyun.
He did not blame Jian Wushuang. About Jian Wushuang's talent, the Heavenly Sword Sect was already aware of it. Want to blame someone, they could only blame Ji Qingyun for being too powerful!
Being born in the same era as such a genius was simply a tragedy.
In a blink of an eye, the soul force retreated like tidewater. The pressure on Jian Wushuang's divine soul lightened, then he gasped heavily for air.
He felt that he had already circled one round around the gates of hell and back.
Ye Yuan said to Sword Thirteen nonchalantly,
"Although Jian Wushuang provoked me time and again, there isn't deep-seated hatred between him and me. If I wanted to kill him, he'd have already died God knows how many times. Even if I really killed him back then, what can your Heavenly Sword Sect do to me? Even though he's somewhat condescending, the offense doesn't deserve death."
Sword Thirteen knew that what Ye Yuan said was the truth. But he was also very unwilling to acknowledge this truth.
"Since you wanted to save him, why did you want to kill him with the Seven Stars Miluo again earlier?" Sword Thirteen said solemnly.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Just cracking a joke with him. Didn't you come back? Would you watch him be killed before your eyes?"
Chapter 1056 - Dragon Prancing the Four Seas
"Alright, since you returned, it has nothing to do with me anymore as well. This Seven Stars Miluo, presumably, you can take care of it yourself. I was only dropping in while passing through. Making a move first."
Done talking, Ye Yuan brought Ao Qian and the others to leave.
Although this Seven Stars Miluo was good stuff, Ye Yuan did not need it.
The reason why he took action earlier was really just conveniently saving Jian Wushuang's life.
Yet, Jian Wushuang still pestered incessantly as he shouted, "Uncle Thirteen, this guy's clearly here for the sake of the Seven Stars Miluo! It's just that he saw you return, that's why he didn't dare to make a move! This guy is harboring evil designs, can't let them leave!"
Sword Thirteen said in a solemn voice, "Halt!"
Ye Yuan stopped his footsteps and said with a faint smile, "What? You're really planning on keeping me behind?"
Sword Thirteen said, "If you dismissed me with a few words, then wouldn't this seat have lost too much face? You're Wushuang's mental demon, as long as I kill you, even without the Seven Stars Miluo, he's able to break through to the realm of Void Mystic too! When at the entrance area, I was wary of the others, that's why I didn't make a move."
Sword Thirteen, this sort of person, his heart was extremely hard to sway.
Ye Yuan's words earlier, the impact on him was indeed tremendous. Yet, his thoughts of wanting to kill Ye Yuan had never changed.
