These 100 years were not easy!
Two rows of clear tears fell down, but Li-er forced herself to smile.
Just now, she thought that she could no longer see Ye Yuan.
She did not expect that at the final juncture, Ye Yuan actually returned to the Immortal Grove World miraculously.
She shook her head hard and said, "Li-er ate well and slept well, I didn't get thinner! Rather, it's you who suffered considerable hardsh.i.p.s in the Heavenspan World these few years, right?"
Ye Yuan smiled slightly and said, "You're still so understanding. But the more you're like this, the more I feel that I owe you!"
Li-er shook her head hard again and said sobbingly, "Compared to Elder Sister Lingxue, what does my bit of hardship count as? Big Brother Yuan, you went to the Heavenspan World, have you found the method to save Elder Sister Lingxue?"
Ye Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "Too difficult!"
Li-er's tears flowed down again involuntarily.
Ye Yuan lightly pulled Li-er into his embrace, everything was conveyed without words.
Liang Wanru could not hear what the two of them were saying. Seeing this scene from far away, her beautiful body involuntarily shuddered, tears flowing down unwittingly.
She completely did not expect that in this small world, there was actually such a world-toppling visage.
No wonder Big Brother Ye rejected her!
Chapter 1580 - Lifting the Power of the Curse
Inside the hidden chamber, brilliant colors were dancing, being incomparably dazzling.
Fang Tian's eyes gradually became bright, seemingly producing a trace of understanding.
He discovered that a trace of bond was actually established between him and Heavenly Dao!
This trace of bond made him feel that he was unbelievably powerful!
Gradually, the luscious colors disappeared without a trace, returning to tranquility.
Fang Tian looked at the Ye Yuan in front, the shock in his heart could not be any greater.
Even though he examined himself and felt that his talent was peerless, to say becoming Heavenly Dao's controller, it was still beyond his reach.
But Ye Yuan actually helped him to establish a trace of bond between him and Heavenly Dao, making him become a controller!
Just what kind of level had this kid reached?!
"How in the world did you do it?" Fang Tian s.u.c.k.e.d in a deep breath and asked.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "The World Suppressing Stele is even stronger than you imagine. It's all thanks to the World Suppressing Stele that I have today's accomplishment."
He did not tell Fang Tian about the matter of the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain. It was not that he did not trust Fang Tian, but this kind of heaven-shocking secret, knowing it would not benefit him at all.
Once the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain was exposed, probably even Dao Ancestors would be moved.
Knowing this kind of thing did not have any benefits to Fang Tian at all.
Returning and encountering Heavenly Sin Heretic God this time made Ye Yuan realize many uncertain elements.
Hence, he borrowed the power of the World Suppressing Stele and let Fang Tian become a new controller.
No matter from which angle, Fang Tian was the most suitable candidate to become a controller.
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Fang Tian could not help smiling bitterly and said, "Looks like the World Suppressing Stele was really wasted in my hands."
Ever since after Heavenly Dao recovered, Fang Tian's thick acc.u.mulations erupted, his realm soaring rapidly all the way like sitting on a rocket and already broke through to initial-stage Origin Deity, even catching up to the veteran grand completion Heaven Glimpse Skydistant.
But he never dreamed that a short 100 years, not only had Ye Yuan already surpassed him in terms of realm, his true combat strength even rivaled half-step Divine Lord.
This improvement speed simply made people wish to knock their heads and die.
One had to know, he, Fang Tian, had acc.u.mulated for 50 thousand years before he had such astonishing cultivation speed.
But Ye Yuan?
Counting his previous life's time, it was also merely a hasty several hundred years!
By comparison, this disparity was seriously too great.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior, the Immortal Grove Region's matters will be left to you in the future. Returning this time, I'm going to bring Li-er, White Light, Fiery, they all away. After all, this place is just a small world. Furthermore, the Heavenly Dao is incomplete and it's too limited."
Fang Tian nodded and said, "What you said is right! With their talent, it's truly too wasteful to be in the Immortal Grove World. This old man is old and can't endure more suffering. Otherwise, I'd definitely want to follow you together to the Heavenspan World."
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior, rest assured. After I gain a firm foothold in the Heavenspan World, I'll naturally bring you and Senior Skydistant they all over."
Fang Tian smiled and said, "Then I'll wait for the arrival of this day! Coming back this time, how long are you planning on staying?"
Ye Yuan said, "I can't say for long. The Heavenspan World that side also has packs of wolves circling around! After I deal with the curse of the land of exile, I plan on leaving."
Even though Ye Yuan was already the Pill Tower's elder now, his appearance already aroused Head Elder's fear.
Also, that Deercry, Ye Yuan already offended him to the core, he would definitely think of ways to deal with him.
Second Elder, his faction was weak to begin with, so Ye Yuan's days in the future would not be very smooth.
Moreover, Ye Yuan, an Origin Deity Realm powerhouse, mixed up amidst a bunch of Divine Lord Realm powerhouses, the pressure was truly immense!
But Fang Tian said in shock, "You can already lift the curse? Wasn't it said that you have to wait until you reach the realm of the dragon race's progenitor before you can lift the curse?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "In the past, it's like that. But now … there's no need."
...
After Ye Yuan refined the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, his understanding of Heavenspan Mountain already far surpassed when he just became the controller back then.
The Four Symbols Family Clans' land of exile was merely a kind of Heavenly Dao sanction.
With Ye Yuan's present height, lifting this kind of curse power was easily accomplished.
Outside the cold pool, the old ancestor was currently cultivating in closed-seclusion.
Along with Heavenly Dao's recovery, he already cultivated to the Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm presently.
Suddenly, he snapped open his eyes, his eyes full of shock.
"This … How is this possible? The curse … is lifted? Could it be that it's the Progenitor who returned?"
He swiftly got up and sprinted over towards the cold pool, his figure abruptly stopping.
A gentle and graceful middle-aged woman slowly walked out of the cold lake.
The old ancestor's face revealed a joyous smile and said, "Jun-er, it's been so many years, you finally recovered! Yuan-er will definitely be unbelievably happy to see you like this!"
This middle-aged madam was precisely Ye Yuan's mother, Ao Jun.
The current Ao Jun already completely recovered her youth, as if time had flowed backward.
Ao Jun's face was full of puzzlement as she said, "Ancestor, what's going on? Apart from the progenitor, could it be that there's still someone who can lift the power of the curse?"
The ancestor shook his head and said, "I don't know either! I was thinking just now could it be that the progenitor is back! He took pity on our generations of entrapment suffering and specially came to rescue us from the sea of suffering?"
Ao Jun said, "No way, right?! Wasn't it said that the progenitor is already missing for several million years and there's completely no news at all?"
The old ancestor smiled and said, "Don't think too much firs
t! Either way, it's a good thing. Everyone is definitely over the moon. Let's go out and take a look!"
At the same time, the land of exile was in jubilation.
They sensed the curse power on their bodies disappear, each and every one ecstatic until they virtually went nuts.
Cheers and jubilation reverberated in the air of the land of exile.
The old ancestor and Ao Jun two people came out of the cave. They saw a young man slowly walk over.
"Yuan-er! Didn't you go to the Heavenspan World? How could you be here?" The two people practically exclaimed almost in unison.
Ye Yuan's gaze landed on Ao Jun and could not help feeling very warm.
After a time interval of many years, he could finally help his mother escape the sea of suffering.
The old ancestor suddenly recalled something, his face revealing a look of disbelief as he cried out in shock, "Could it be … Could it be that the land of exile's curse was lifted by you?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Ancestor, Mother, the world is so vast. In the future, the land of exile's Four Symbols Family Clans can go wherever they want, nobody can stop them!"
The old ancestor's entire body trembled and he said, "It's really you! You … How did you do it? You're just … mn? You … You're already at the middle-stage Origin Deity Realm?"
The ancestor drew a cold breath, being shocked by Ye Yuan until he was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside.
This cultivation speed was a little too horrifying, right?
Rather, it was Ao Jun who had a look of pride and relief all over her face.
She did not think that her son was actually so remarkable.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I obtained some fortuitous encounters in the Heavenspan World. Now, breaking this curse isn't considered a big deal."
The old ancestor was speechless. This kid said it really lightly.
One had to know, in the era where Heavenly Dao flourished, the land of exile had also once produced quite a number of major powers.
But they worked hard for countless generations and were also unable to break out of this place.
But Ye Yuan only went out for a hundred years' time and lifted the power of the curse.
Chapter 1581 - Probing
"Yuan-er, are you leaving now?"
Ao Jun gripped Ye Yuan's palm tightly, very reluctant to part with the latter.
They finally managed to lift the curse, and she could have a heart-to-heart talk with her son. But her son was about to leave straight away.
Ye Yuan already accompanied her in the land of exile for as long as a month, but he ultimately still had to bid farewell.
Ao Jun already knew the news of Ji Zhengyang's death. These few days, she had always been dejected.
Ye Yuan comforted along with Li-er before placating Ao Jun.
"Mother, your child owes Lingxue too much. These few years, I've always been living in self-blame. Not being able to save her a day earlier, I find it hard to set my mind at ease!" Ye Yuan said with vicissitudes of emotion.
Finally he managed to reunite with his mother. So he did not wish to leave straight away either.
But the Heavenspan World still had many things waiting for him. He could not delay too much time either.
Seeing his mother's reluctant appearance, Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Your child has magic treasures in his possession now. Hence, entering and exiting spatial turbulent flows are very easy. In the future, as long as I'm free, I'll come back to see you!"
The old ancestor also said by the side, "Good men have far-reaching ambitions. Since he knows that there's a broader world outside, why should he remain in this small corner?"
Hearing the old ancestor said so, Ao Jun could not have the heart to delay Ye Yuan. She knew she could not let him stay any further. So she said with an embarrassed smile, "Yuan-er, mother knows that it wasn't easy for you to walk this entire way. You have got to be more careful in the Heavenspan World!"
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Rest assured, I will!"
Leaving the land of exile, Ye Yuan took a trip to Kunwu Divine Wood there again.
Seeing Kunwu again at this time, Ye Yuan felt the former was even more unfathomable. This made him greatly astonished inwardly.
Just what realm was this Kunwu Divine Wood?!
Ye Yuan was shocked, but actually, Kunwu was even more shocked than him.
Recalling that time when Ye Yuan left back then, Kunwu was a hundred times pessimistic about Ye Yuan.
Who could have thought that after a hundred years went by, and then when he returned again, Ye Yuan broke through to middle-stage Origin Deity like flying.
Furthermore, he distinctly sensed that Ye Yuan sundered Heavenly Dao and was actually still able to mobilize the power of Heavenly Dao. This was simply unimaginable.
"You brat, how in the world did you do it?" Kunwu looked at Ye Yuan and said in shock.
Ye Yuan's battle with Heavenly Sin, Kunwu was naturally all aware.
At that time, he surprised him considerably.
Dustless's figure flashed out and he said with a smile, "Old Kun, you and I both made an error in judgment! This kid's potential is much stronger than Old Fart Immortal Grove!"
Kunwu's gaze turned intent and he said in surprise, "How so?"
Dustless stroked his beard and said with a smile, "What Immortal Grove has done, he accomplished it. What Immortal Grove didn't achieve, he has also done it. I'm very much looking forward to what kind of height he can attain in the future."
Kunwu's pupils constricted and he said in shock, "If Old Fart Immortal Grove didn't fall, Heavenly Emperor Realm is attainable! Could it be that this kid still has the possibility of reaching the realm of Transcendent Heavenly Emperor?"
Dustless smiled and did not speak, stifling Kunwu until he felt even more confused.
Ye Yuan originally wanted to see if he could invite Kunwu to come out of retirement, but he discovered that even if the current Heavenly Dao had recovered a lot, it still could not bear a level of existence like Kunwu. So Ye Yuan could only drop the matter.
After finishing settling everything, Ye Yuan brought Li-er, White Light, Fiery, Lu-er, four people, and entered the spatial turbulent flow once more.
Over 100 years had passed, these few people's strengths had also made great progress.
Li-er, White Light, and Fiery three people's constitutions were special. At this time, they were already all Heaven Glimpse Realm powerhouses.
Even Lu-er had already reached grand completion Grotto Profound as well, just one step away from being able to break through to Heaven Glimpse Realm.
These few people were going to the Heavenspan World and had excited looks too, grabbing Ning Siyu and Liang Wanru, asking non-stop, just like four curious babies.
Staying for such a long time in the Immortal Grove World, Liang Wanru already knew why Ye Yuan would stay such a respectful distance away from her.
Nothing to do with looks!
He was unable to even give a promise to Li-er, let alone her?
This way, Liang Wanru became much more open-minded, her entire person also becoming significantly more cheerful.
But Ye Yuan came to Little Fatty's side and said with a smile, "This trip, did you get any harvest?"
Little Fatty gave Ye Yuan a glance and said with a sigh, "Really can't imagine, even you had such a sorrowful past too."
This place was Ye Yuan's hometown, Little Fatty and the rest were naturally very curious about Ye Yuan's past matters.
Only upon inquiry did they know that Ye Yuan suffered his brother's betrayal in his previous life, and met with his father being killed.
Later, he also encountered his beloved burning her divine soul this kind of thing.
It seemed like his misfortune was not worth mentioning compared to Ye Yuan at all.
If not for hearing these things with his own ears, he completely could not imagine that a happy-go-lucky person like Ye Yuan actually had such a past.
He also
finally understood Ye Yuan's painstaking efforts.
Recalling things in his heart and asking himself, if he had Ye Yuan's experiences, he would probably have long become a madman who was homicidal.
But Ye Yuan did not blame heaven and other people.
He relied on his own efforts and walked step by step, taking revenge for his father and seeking a lease of life for his beloved.
How much willpower did this require?!
Ye Yuan doing so much was simply to let him pull himself together anew.
Little Fatty looked at Ye Yuan gratefully, his face revealing a long-lost smile and said, "Ye Yuan, thank you!"
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "That's more like it! Seeing your wretched smile, I knew that that little fatty is back again!"
...
Inside the Pill Tower, Deercry was currently denouncing Ye Yuan harshly to Head Elder Rou Xu.
"Head Elder, what capability does this brat have, how can he suddenly become an elder?! A Three-star Alchemy God becoming a Pill Tower's elder, wouldn't it incur people's ridicule if it spreads? ..."
Head Elder listened quietly, his face not having any expressions, no joy nor sorrow.
When Deercry finished, Rou Xu mused for a moment before slowly saying, "This matter was directly decided by the higher-ups, so even I don't know all the details too! I ask you, how's that kid's strength?"
Deercry said indignantly, "Bah! What strength can he have? In my view, he's deliberately mystifying things to look mysterious! He, a Three-star Alchemy God, can give pointers to Lu Yi? Saying it also got to have people believe it too! I'm sure that this is merely Xuan Yu deliberately setting a deceptive battle array to mislead the enemy! Lu Yi must have had a breakthrough long ago and kept it secret all the way, waiting to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat in the Pill Tower's competition this time! It's just that as luck would have it, this was encountered by me and they set up a trap, ensnaring me inside!"
Until now, Deercry did not believe that Ye Yuan could give pointers to Lu Yi to refine a high-grade Seven Aperture Quiet Enlightenment Pill.
This kind of thing was completely illogical.
Head Elder's brows furrowed slightly and he said, "Your meaning is that this kid is merely a chess piece of Xuan Yu, used to delude us?"
