Zhuge Qingxuan did not even let out a scream and was directly annihilated by this sword.
The Heaven Stabilizing Divine King, who had commanded the Divine Realm for over two thousand years, perished here! The master is how a servant addresses the master of a household, not slave and master.
Chapter 1265 - World Tree
"Ye Qing, can you feel the aura of the Kunwu Divine Wood?"
"Mmm, there's a very strong wood-spirit energy ahead. I feel like … that being seems to be guiding us forward."
Ye Yuan was stunned when he heard that: "Guiding us forward?"
Ye Qing nodded his head: "To be able to release such terrifying wood-spirit energy, that being is too strong. It's completely not what we're capable of surmising. I think he should have discovered us long ago, and even … already knew our objective of this trip. Because apart from the Kunwu Divine Wood in this place, I can't sense the auras of any other existences."
Ye Yuan nodded his head and did not reveal a surprised expression.
The existences in this God-forbidden region were all what they were unable to imagine.
Just talking about that Deathsoul Tree, Ye Yuan could not even move a finger in front of him.
Ye Qing was the most s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e towards wood-spirit energy. Hence, that was why he had Ye Qing lead the way.
Sure enough, before long, Ye Qing detected a powerful wood-spirit energy.
"Big Brother, I wonder whether the Kunwu Divine Wood taking the initiative to expose itself is a fiend or foe!" White Light said.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Whether friend or foe, we have to make this trip."
...
Under Ye Qing's lead, the party arrived under a mountain peak very soon.
Above the mountaintop, an enormous tree towered above the clouds.
That tree trunk was seemingly a heaven-supporting pillar. Even a thousand people might not be able to wrap around it either.
The thick life force made Ye Yuan and the others who were far away at the foot of the mountain feel completely relaxed and refreshed in spirit.
"Is this the Kunwu Divine Wood? What a terrifying existence!" White Light exclaimed with a sigh.
"Rumor has it that the Kunwu Divine Wood is the source of the Divine Realm's wood-spirit energy. It can be called the World Tree and is a part of Heavenly Dao laws. This Dao Defying Pill's pill formula that I created was originally just a fleeting and ephemeral hint of enlightenment. But now, I'm already certain that I'm adding the finishing touch to Heavenly Dao, remaking Divine Dao within my body!" Ye Yuan's gaze radiated rays of brilliant light as he said brimming with confidence.
Ye Yuan's words made everyone endlessly shock, especially Shi Potian. Shi Potian had experienced the Divine Dao Era before and understood Heavenly Dao's intangibleness more than Dao Profound Realm martial artists.
But Ye Yuan actually wanted to attempt to reforge Heavenly Dao within his body!
This kind of thinking was too conceited! Too arrogant! Too insane! Too unthinkable!
But thinking carefully, they all could not help praising the brilliant idea of Ye Yuan!
Cultivating by following the routine, no one could break this Heavenly Dao's rules at all.
This point was already proven for over 100 thousand years.
Someone as powerful as Fang Tian was also unable to break this shackle.
But, if one simulated Heavenly Dao using Alchemy Dao, remaking a Divine Dao law within the martial artist's body, this was indeed a fantastic idea.
"Haha, a fine reforging of Divine Dao! Well-deserving of being Immortal Grove Empyrean's successor! This kind of inconceivable thinking simply takes people's breath away in wonder!"
A voice suddenly sounded out, giving everyone a fright.
Suddenly, Ye Yuan's and the rest only felt a blur before their eyes. Their figures already involuntarily disappeared from where they stood.
When they appeared again, they were already on top of the mountain peak, at the foot of the large tree.
A young man was currently looking at them with a wide grin. That gaze was rather ruminating.
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed and he asked probingly, "Could your esteemed self be … the Kunwu Divine Wood?"
The young man sized Ye Yuan up, seemingly very interested in him.
Hearing Ye Yuan asked this, the young man said with a smile, "You're pretty good! Worthy of being Old Fart Immortal Grove's successor! This idea of yours sounds crazy, but in fact, it's the method that's most likely to break Heavenly Dao shackles!"
Ye Yuan's eyes lit up when he heard that and said, "Senior also feels that this method can work?"
"Of course! Heavenly Dao collapsed, Divine Dao dwindled to zero. No matter what method is used, it also can't resist the decline of Heavenly Dao. But the spirit medicines that have experienced the Divine Dao Era before contains a part of Heavenly Dao. They are unable to independently resist the decline of Heavenly Dao. But if consolidating them together, there's a possibility of constructing an independent Heavenly Dao within the martial artist's body, breaking this shackle from there! One has to admit that this idea is very genius!" the young man said with an emotional sigh.
Hearing the other party's words, Ye Yuan felt extremely excited.
Following his understanding of the Divine Realm becoming increasingly deeper, Ye Yuan also had more confidence in the feasibility of the Dao Defying Pill.
Since Heavenly Dao was already gone, then he would just remake Heavenly Dao!
A Heavenly Dao that belonged to him, one that only existed in his body!
This train of thought was increasingly clear.
This idea seemed to be very insane, but to Ye Yuan, it was not impossible to actualize it!
The Heavenly Dao that Ye Yuan needed to construct was not a complete Heavenly Dao.
He was just going to construct an initial-stage Grotto Profound Deity Realm's Heavenly Dao, letting him be able to break through to Deity Realm successfully!
Previous life, this idea was still very vague. But by relying on his exceedingly high comprehensions in Alchemy Dao, he faintly sensed this existence.
One million years old spirit medicines did not just have these nine types. But these nine kinds of spirit medicines that Ye Yuan selected secretly contained Heavenly Dao.
This was the nine kinds of spirit medicines that Ye Yuan selected only after going through repeated research.
Talking about it was kind of vague and insubstantial, but by relying on his comprehension toward Alchemy Dao, Ye Yuan felt that these spirit medicines combining together would be able to achieve an unexpected effect.
In this life, Ye Yuan's comprehension of Heavenly Dao became increasingly profound. Coupled with his understanding of the Medicine God's Soul Canon getting increasingly deeper, Ye Yuan's train of thoughts also became clearer and clearer.
As for how to refine, he was even more certain in his heart as well.
Therefore, that was why he wanted to enter the Godsfall Mountain Range and search for this last spirit medicine: the Kunwu Flower.
"Then Senior's meaning is … the Dao Defying Pill can really help this Ye break through to the Deity Realm?" Ye Yuan could not refrain from asking.
The young man smiled and said, "Huhu, I didn't say that! Whether or not you can break through, it will depend on your good fortune. This kind of thing, even if Old Fart Immortal Grove personally comes around, he also would not dare to say that it can 100% succeed. I can only say that there's a possibility!"
Ye Yuan's entire body trembled. The young man's words undoubtedly boosted him much confidence.
This one before his eyes was an existence that rode above Deity Realm.
For him to say that it was possible was already extremely hard to come by.
In these 100 thousand years, no idea how many people had once attempted to break through to Deity Realm before. But they all failed without exception.
"Since that's the case, pardon this junior for being impetuous, but I wonder
if Senior can gift a Kunwu Flower." Ye Yuan said with clasped hands.
The young man froze and suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Interesting! Really interesting! Brat, your guts … are really not small!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Not that Junior is gutsy, but that Junior is already driven to the wall! The Kunwu Flower might be very important to Senior. But to Junior, to the Divine Realm, it's even more important! I think that since Senior is willing to show yourself and meet up, you don't wish for the Divine Realm to fall utterly into enemy hands, right?"
From the Kunwu Divine Wood's attitude, Ye Yuan concluded that the other part at least did not much hostility towards him.
Otherwise, he would not talk so much rubbish.
"Heh, you, brat, are really quite interesting. No wonder Old Fart Immortal Grove picked you!"
As the young man said, he held a palm up. A pink flower appeared in his hand.
Chapter 1266 - Empyrean Spirit Treasure!
Ye Yuan's gaze turned intent, looking at the young man in amazement.
He really did not expect that he actually obtained the Kunwu Flower so effortlessly.
Before this, Ye Yuan thought of countless possibilities and was even prepared to fight to the bitter end.
The only thing that he did not think of was that the other party actually gave it to him so magnanimously.
Receiving the Kunwu Flower, Ye Yuan even had a feeling like he was dreaming.
"Senior, this … Why?" Ye Yuan said in wonder.
The young man smiled and said, "I've long already found that Deathsoul Tree to be an eyesore, and you did it beautifully! In addition, I have to give face to Old Fart Immortal Grove's successor. As for whether or not it can succeed, that will depend on you."
Ye Yuan was stunned. He already heard 'Immortal Grove' this name more than once, but he did not know why this Divine Realm would be called Immortal Grove Region.
Looking at it now, this 'Immortal Grove' seemed to be a person's name!
"May I ask Senior, just what is this 'Immortal Grove'? Why do a lot of people call the Divine Realm as Immortal Grove Region?" Ye Yuan asked.
Kunwu smiled and said, "Divine Realm is just what you yourselves call it. The path of Martial Dao, the so-called Deity Realm, is merely just the starting point. The reason why the Divine Realm is called Immortal Grove Region is naturally that its sovereign is Old Fart Immortal Grove!"
"Old Fart Immortal Grove?" Ye Yuan frowned and said.
Kunwu nodded and said, "Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove is this Immortal Grove Region's founder, and also sovereign. Cultivation reaching a certain realm, one can hew open a world. This Immortal Grove Region is the world that Old Fart Immortal Grove opened up."
Not just Ye Yuan, everyone trembled all over when they heard these words.
Establishing a world, this was simply inconceivable means!
This Divine Realm that they lived in was actually established by a Martial Dao powerhouse!
Could a person really accomplish to this extent?
"E-Establishing a world! Senior, you aren't joking around, right?"
Even if Ye Yuan was experienced and knowledgeable, his expression currently also became incomparably fascinating.
The impact of Kunwu's words on him was too great.
"Heh, I'm not so free to crack jokes with you! Establishing a world isn't considered some noteworthy thing. But establishing a world like the Immortal Grove Region, that's not what an ordinary person can accomplish. Telling you now, you can't understand either. If there comes a day where you can leave this Immortal Grove Region, you'll naturally understand," Kunwu said.
Ye Yuan s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath. This Kunwu's words simply subverted the understanding of Martial Dao.
He had never thought that this Divine Realm was actually established through artificial means!
And also never thought that the human's Martial Dao could attain such a terrifying realm.
This kind of thing, if not for Kunwu personally saying it, no one could imagine it.
'Empyrean' this term, Ye Yuan remembered it firmly in his heart.
In an instant, he was filled with a yearning for this realm!
A realm when achieved, one could establish a world. Just with his current strength, there was completely no way of imagining it.
Only after a long time did Ye Yuan come back to his senses from the shock and said to Kunwu, "Senior, Heavenly Dao is missing. So why … do the existences inside this god-forbidden region seem to be unaffected?"
Ye Yuan was very curious. Regardless of whether the Deathsoul Tree or this Kunwu Divine Wood in front of him, Ye Yuan could not fathom at all.
This indicated that their boundary was what he was incapable of imagining.
Unlike the old ancestor as well as Shi Potian, Ye Yuan could clearly sense that their realms were being suppressed.
Kunwu smiled and said, "Because we all don't belong to the Immortal Grove Region and didn't attain Dao by practicing the laws here. So we won't be suppressed by Heavenly Dao."
Ye Yuan was incredibly shocked. Turned out that all of them came from another world?
But very soon, Ye Yuan's eyes lit up and was just about to speak, but was beaten to it by Kunwu.
"Don't think anymore! This god-forbidden region's existences, all can't leave this region! Moreover, the Immortal Grove Region is already an arrow at the end of its flight and can't endure us taking action at all. The moment we act, this Immortal Grove Region will probably not be far from utterly collapsing," Kunwu said.
Ye Yuan had a look of disappointment on his face. He was just thinking that the Kunwu Divine Wood was not restrained by thatHeavenly Dao, so maybe he could make a move to deal with Kanuo. Ye Yuan did not expect that it was actually this situation.
He could not help saying gloomily, "Senior, what in the world happened to the Divine Realm? Why would Heavenly Dao be missing?"
Kunwu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Because Old Fart Immortal Grove died!"
This one sentence made Ye Yuan inwardly alarmed.
A powerhouse that could establish a world would actually die too?
Then what kind of existence would the powerhouse who killed him be like?
Kunwu continued, "However … the Immortal Grove Region's decline originally shouldn't be so quick either. Five million years ago, Old Fart Immortal Grove severed his connection with the Immortal Grove Region. Ten to one, the odds are he's dead. This Immortal Grove Region naturally declined with each passing day. But 100 thousand years ago, his lifeblood empyrean spirit treasure should have been refined by others, that's why it would make the Immortal Grove Region's Heavenly Dao become defective. Mystic Qi was drained empty, that's why you all are unable to achieve Deity Realm."
Ye Yuan's gaze turned intent, and he muttered, "Lifeblood empyrean spirit treasure?"
Kunwu looked at Ye Yuan with a smile that was not a smile and said, "Don't you have it too? Furthermore … it's even more than one!"
Ye Yuan's entire body trembled, and he opened his eyes wide and said in disbelief, "Senior is talking about … the Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl?"
Kunwu smiled and said, "Otherwise? Apart from the Soul Suppressing Pearl, what else can finish off Deathsoul Tree that guy?"
These words, they actually carried thick grievances.
The moment Ye Yuan heard, he knew that the Kunwu Divine Wood seemed to be on rather bad terms with the Deathsoul Tree.
However, Kunwu's words still stirred up monstrous waves in Ye Yuan's heart.
He could not figure out all along, just what origins the Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl had.
Ye Yuan did not expect that they were actually the empyrean spirit treasures of the Immortal Grove Region's sovereign, Immortal Grove Empyrean!
This level of supreme existence was not what the average person could conjecture at all.
No wonder even Absolute Heaven that kind of peerless powerhouses could not figure out the Vast Heaven S
tele's depths.
"Old Fart Immortal Grove had three empyrean spirit treasures. One is the World Suppressing Stele, one is the Soul Suppressing Pearl, and one is the Universe Sword. These three empyrean spirit treasures are closely related to the Immortal Grove Region. Old Fart Immortal Grove used them to nurture these three empyrean spirit treasures. So the moment the Universe Sword was lost, this Immortal Grove Region suffered a heavy blow. From then on, there was no longer Divine Dao," Kunwu spoke with confidence and composure.
Ye Yuan s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath, but the astoundment in his heart kept failing to calm down.
The impact that Kunwu's words brought to him was too great.
Every sentence that Kunwu uttered was this Immortal Grove Region's extremely great heaven's secret.
The people of the Divine Realm lived here one lifetime after another, but they never knew that this was merely just a space that someone else established.
In the end, they were merely frogs at the bottom of a well!
Outside had even broader space!
This 100 thousand years mystery was finally uncovered today. How could Ye Yuan not be shocked?
And what Kunwu disclosed was far more than this 100 thousand years mystery.
Ye Yuan never dreamed that the two inconceivable treasures which he obtained by chance were actually empyrean spirit treasures!
Chapter 1267 - Ten Directions Heaven Seizing Art!
"Senior, this junior still has a query."
"Speak."
"Breaking through Deity Realm requires mystic qi flooding the body. I wonder if there's still any mystic qi in the Divine Realm?"
Mystic qi flooding the body was also the most crucial link to breaking through to Deity Realm.
This was not just the step that Fang Tian they all were most worried about, it was actually the step that Ye Yuan was most worried about as well.
Even if his Dao Defying Pill was really able to succeed, without mystic qi, he was likewise unable to break through to the Deity Realm.
Kunwu smiled and said, "Mystic qi? Huhu, don't you have it on you?"
"I have it on me?" Ye Yuan had a blank look.
