Ye Yuan also did not expect that Gu Han actually did something like this. After being momentarily dazed, he went up to pat his shoulder and said coolly, "Victory and defeat are common for soldiers. You only lost for a period of time, so it's no big deal."
Gu Han slapped Ye Yuan's hand away and said with tears in his eyes, "I don't need your pity! Are you trying to use the attitude of the victor to humiliate me right now? Dream on!"
This sentence made the hint of favorable impression that just appeared in everyone immediately vanish like soap bubbles.
But Ye Yuan did not get angry and said coolly, "Do you think that I have that need?"
Gu Han could not help choking when he heard that. He looked at Ye Yuan and opened his mouth, but he could not speak.
Yeah, Ye Yuan was not someone in the same world as him at all!
His bit of pride was worth nothing in Ye Yuan's eyes!
He was the Pill Tower's elder, an apex figure of the imperial city.
While him?
He indeed had a lot of potential and might become River Eternal Imperial City's apex figure in the future too.
But that was many, many years later.
His gap with Ye Yuan would only grow bigger and bigger along with the passage of time, and not shrink!
Ye Yuan looked at his expression and said with a smile, "You only saw my strength, but your don't know what I've experienced. Strength never comes out of thin air, for me to be able to defeat you, it's not just winning you in terms of talent. I admit that you're indeed extraordinarily talented, but thousands and tens of thousands of years later, you might not be stronger than our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's disciples! Therefore, if you come to compare notes, we welcome it. But you were too overbearing when doing things, so we don't welcome you."
Only when Gu Han heard this did he know why Ye Yuan took action.
He suddenly realised it. Had he gone too overboard?
Winning one's opponent and even deliberately humiliating the opponent, this kind of thing happening to anyone, they would not be happy either.
"I … I was wrong!" Gu Han said in a low voice.
The sword-grasping man suspected whether he heard wrongly or not. Little Junior Brother actually admitted his fault to others!
Someone as proud as Little Junior Brother actually admitted fault to others!
Everyone exchanged glances, all dumbfounded.
This stubborn and unruly young man actually admitted his fault to Elder Ye!
Too awesome!
Ye Yuan looked at Gu Han and said with a smile, "Even if you win against all of Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's genius disciples, I can't be bothered to care about you either. But you won and even wanted to humiliate your opponent, I can't put up with that. You're slapping the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's face. I, as a Pill Tower's elder, naturally have to make a move to teach you a lesson. Leave then, with your talent, your future prospects will be limitless. But if you keep on putting on airs and looking down on people like this, you'll suffer a big loss sooner or later. Today, I only made a move to teach you a lesson, but your enemy probably won't let you off easily."
Gu Han gritted his teeth and said, "I … Many thanks for Elder Ye's teachings!"
Finished talking, Gu Han bowed three times to Ye Yuan respectfully, turned around, and left.
The sword-grasping man and the rest were scared of Gu Han meeting with a mishap and hurriedly followed after.
A senior apprentice brother said, "Little Junior Brother, you … You don't have to take it to heart. Victory and defeat are common fare for soldiers, next time, let's just win back!"
Gu Han gave him a glance and said, "Senior Apprentice Brother, do you think that I have a chance to win him?"
That senior apprentice brother choked when he heard that. He very much wanted to say can, but he knew that if nothing too unexpected happened, Gu Han probably could not catch up to Ye Yuan for the rest of his life.
The disparity between them was not what hard work could make up for at all!
Gu Han suddenly turned around and said to the sword-grasping man, "Eldest Senior Brother, the precious treasure coming into being this time, I want to go too!"
The sword-grasping man was not too surprised and said with a smile, "I have no objections. But … it still requires Master's approval."
Gu Han nodded his head, turned around, and left.
...
"Tsk tsk, Elder Ye is Elder Ye, really too impressive!"
"Yeah, that kid has been showing off these few days. Not only did Elder Ye brutalize him to tears, he even made him admit his fault obediently. Such means, I'm convinced!"
"Whatever kind of genius, once they meet Elder Ye, that's a tragedy!"
"Haha, Elder Ye is simply a genius killer! In the past, Song Qiyang was like this. Now, this Gu Han was also like this."
...
The news of Ye Yuan brutalizing Gu Han to tears made everyone talk with great gusto.
Ravaging Gu Han was within everyone's expectations.
But they never thought that Gu Han actually took the initiative to admit fault in the end, his attitude sincere.
Such a stubborn and unruly genius, this simply made people's jaws drop.
In the corner building, Ling Zikun finally heaved a long sigh and said to Ruo Xu, "Oh, Ruo Xu, it's almost time. We should also talk about business."
Chapter 1616 - Xiantian Divine Lord Mystic Treasure
"Elders, I believe that the news of Ling Zikun's arrival, everyone already knows about it. Actually, his real objective of coming this time is to seek help from us …"
Ruo Xu spoke with confidence and composure, introducing the true objective of Ling Zikun coming this time, making all of the elders visibly moved.
It turned out that River Eternal Imperial City had a sudden phenomenon. It was very likely that a precious treasure was about to be born.
But the place where the phenomenon occurred was at the borders with Eminent Orchid Imperial City.
This phenomenon clearly could not hide from the eyes and ears of the fiend race.
A precise treasure capable of causing a heaven and earth phenomenon, the fiend race would naturally covet it too.
Now, there were already large groups of experts gathering at the place where the phenomenon occurred.
River Eternal Imperial City was worried that a single log could not prop up a tottering building. Hence, they sought assistance from the surrounding imperial cities.
Ling Zikun's party precisely came to Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to ask for help.
The two imperial cities were adjacent neighbors. If River Eternal Imperial City wanted to seek help, they naturally had to look for the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City.
"Elder Zheng Qi, this matter still needs your Martial Tower to take action. What do you think?" Ruo Xu asked Zheng Qi.
Zheng Qi mused for a moment and said, "This matter concerns the fiend race, we naturally have to help. It's just that, if there is only one precious treasure, what should be done about the final ownership?"
Ruo Xu said, "This matter, I've already asked Ling Zikun. He said that precious treasures are obtained by the fated. As long as it doesn't land in the hands of the fiend race, that will do. But hearing Ling Zikun's meaning, this precious treasure is likely extraordinary. It might attract fiend race Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses!"
The moment these words came out, everyone's face suddenly changed.
Once Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses stepped in, this matter would become very tricky.
Zheng Qi thought about it and said, "This matter, best for this old man to personally take action! With the others going, they probably can't control the scene. Disregarding fiend race powerhouses, just that land where precious treasure would be born will likely be quite dangerous too."
"No way! Head Elder Zheng, you're the Martial Tower's leader! How can you take the risk personally?"
"Yeah, Head Elder Zheng, you're the strongest person in the Martial T
ower. If you were to meet with any mishap, what would we do?"
The moment Zheng Qi said that he wanted to go, many elders directly expressed objection.
But Zheng Qi waved his hand and said, "It's precisely because this old man is the strongest that I have to personally go there. Supporting River Eternal Imperial City is one thing, seeing if there's a chance to seize the precious treasure is another. More importantly, I have to bring the people who go back! This matter, there's no need to say anything, this old man's mind is made up!"
At this time, the Pill Tower and Martial Tower's elders were all present.
The Martial Tower was going on an expedition, so the Pill Tower naturally had to refine a batch of medicinal pills too.
Ye Yuan looked at Zheng Qi, his gaze revealing admiration.
Anyone knew that this trip was dangerous. Even Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses might be alarmed. Seizing treasure this sort of thing, it was probably not that easy.
Even if Zheng Qi went personally, it was also not certain that he could return safe and sound.
Clearly, Zheng Qi knew that this trip was perilous, that was why he would so personally, only to hope to bring some more people back.
This undertaking filled Ye Yuan with deep veneration.
At this time, he could casually appoint an elder to go, and presumably, no one would dare to say a word.
Ruo Xu also did not expect that Zheng Qi was actually so decisive. He opened his mouth and said, "Old Brother, have you really decided on this?"
Zheng Qi nodded and said, "Brother Ruo Xu, those few are in closed-seclusion all year round. When this old man isn't around, Heavenly Eagle Imperial City will be entrusted to you."
Ruo Xu sighed and said, "Alright! This matter, this old man can't help much either. These few days, this old man will urge the Pill Tower's elders to refine more batches of medicinal pills."
Zheng Qi cupped his fists and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Brother Ruo Xu!"
Afterward, Zheng Qi picked out another ten or so Martial Tower elders, deacons, and protectors.
These people had to follow him.
Even Head Elder was personally going, they naturally had no reason to refuse.
Moreover, this kind of thing, if it happened to anyone, they would have the mentality of leaving things to luck.
What if the precious treasure was obtained by them?
"Alright, this matter is decided, all disperse then," Ruo Xu said.
At this time, the Ye Yuan who had been silent all along suddenly spoke up, "Head Elder Zheng, I'm going too."
Ruo Xu's brows furrowed and he berated, "Elder Ye, what are you messing around for?"
The moment Zheng Qi heard, he also shook his head and said, "Elder Ye, this trip is too dangerous, even this old man doesn't have the confidence to get out unscathed. You'd best not go. You're our Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's future hope, nothing must happen to you!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Everyone, calm down. Listen to me until the end."
As he said, he looked at Ruo Xu and asked, "Head Elder Ruo Xu, did Ling Zikun tell you what the precious treasure coming into being this time is?"
Ruo Xu was stunned and shook his head and said, "The precious treasure hasn't been born yet, how would he know?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "If my guesses are right, the venue where the precious treasure is being born this time should be the Fiend Calling Ridge's natural chasm, right?"
Ruo Xu was surprised as he said, "How did you know?"
The specifics of the location was not disclosed previously, but Ye Yuan actually knew the location of the birth of the precious treasure, how could this not surprise him?
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I've been to the Fiend Calling Ridge before, and also went down the natural chasm before, so I'm still rather familiar with that place. I know that you all are worried that my realm is lacking. But going this time, even if a person's realm being high, it will likely be useless."
When the group of elders heard Ye Yuan's words, they were incredibly shocked.
They also did not expect that Ye Yuan actually went to River Eternal Imperial City before, and even went down Fiend Calling Ridge's natural chasm before.
Zheng Qi's brows knitted together and he said to Ye Yuan, "Elder Ye, you continue speaking!"
He realized that Ling Zikun probably held something back, afraid that they would not go, so he did not say.
Ye Yuan nodded his head and continued saying.
Actually, when Ye Yuan returned from the fiend race back then, he went down the natural chasm once more.
He could sense that natural chasm's extraordinariness and harbored a curious mindset, that was why he went down to investigate.
Of course, others could also feel it. It was just that they did not have the ability to go down.
Even Divine Lord Realm powerhouses got to be careful going down too. A single misstep and it was the outcome of being smashed to pieces.
One had to know, the further down that natural chasm, the stronger the forcefield.
When Ye Yuan just broke through to Origin Deity Realm back then, he could just happen to go down and temper the Origin Magnetism Spirit Wood and explore it along the way.
At that time, Ye Yuan sunk down close to ten thousand meters and still did not reach the bottom.
But at that time, a strong uneasiness came from below, making Ye Yuan not dare to go deeper anymore.
But Ye Yuan also felt that there seemed to faintly be a powerful aura transmitting out from below. It was as if there was some treasure currently gestating.
This kind of magical place giving birth to whatever treasure was also a very normal thing.
Hearing Ruo Xu's introduction earlier, Ye Yuan immediately connected it to this natural chasm.
"If my conjectures are right, the precious treasure coming into being this time might be an innate divine lord mystic treasure, or might even be an innate celestial deity mystic treasure!"
Ye Yuan words hell-bent on shocking people to death, igniting the elders meeting all at once.
"What? Innate divine lord mystic treasure!"
"My God! Don't talk about innate celestial deity mystic treasure, even innate celestial deity mystic treasure, Celestial Deity powerhouses can't hold back either!"
"This Ling Zikun wouldn't be scamming us, right?"
All the elders revealed fervent looks, clearly extremely moved by this innate divine lord mystic treasure.
Chapter 1617 - Old Scores
Ruo Xu and Zheng Qi both had astonished expressions. Innate divine lord mystic treasure, this term, deeply shocked them.
Ye Yuan only heard Dustless mention this thing when he dove down the natural chasm too.
Dustless told Ye Yuan at that time, the origin magnetic field at this place was so strong. An innate divine lord mystic treasure might be born deep at the bottom.
Innate divine lord mystic treasure and divine lord mystic treasures refined postnatal, that level was completely different.
Although divine lord mystic treasures were rare, reaching Ruo Xu's and Zheng Qi's level, having one was not a problem.
But innate divine lord mystic treasure was so rare that hearing it made one's hair stand on end.
The reason why it was called innate divine lord mystic treasure was naturally because it was gestated naturally.
It was just that the conditions for forming were extremely harsh. Only in some very special places, could it inoculate successfully.
Innate divine lord mystic treasures, its power overwhelmed same rank postnatal divine lord mystic treasures.
Not just so, the most precious aspect of innate divine lord mystic treasures was that it was conceived naturally. Within it contained Heavenly Dao laws.
Once martial artists refined an innate divine lord mystic treasure, they could fuse with this portion of Heavenly Dao strength, letting themselves break through the shackles from there.
To a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse, the chances of breaking
through to Celestial Deity Realm would also greatly increase.
How could this kind of treasure not move people?
If the thing being born this time was an innate celestial deity mystic treasure, that value was immeasurable.
Celestial Deity Realm powerhouses would definitely go into action without delay.
"Elder Ye, this matter is of utmost importance, you can't make any jokes!" Zheng Qi s.u.c.k.e.d in a cold breath and said to Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "How can this Ye joke about this matter? But what's there below that natural chasm, this Ye can't say for sure as well. But it's definitely very dangerous. Furthermore, the further down that natural chasm, the stronger the forcefield. One's realm will also be suppressed drastically. The higher the realm, the higher the suppression. If Head Elder, you go, I reckon that at most, you can only unleash the strength of third-layered heaven Divine Lord."
Hearing this, everyone's faces turned slightly fearful.
Zheng Qi's expression could not help becoming serious. This news that Ye Yuan brought was very useful to him.
This news, knowing in-advance and preparing for it was God knows how many times better than last minute fumbling blinding when the time came.
Realm suppression was not targeted at them only but targeting everyone.
Once they were prepared, that was taking the initiative.
At that time, fighting for the innate divine lord mystic treasure was not impossible.
"Elder Ye, if it's really as you say, we still have to give this matter further thought and confer at length. But … you still can't go. The ones going this time are definitely all Divine Lord Realm powerhouses. Even if their realms are suppressed, they are also not what you can deal with. Moreover, there are still Celestial Deity powerhouses raring to go." Zheng Qi said.
Ruo Xu also said, "Elder Ye, Old Brother Zheng Qi is also worried about your safety. You'd best not go and join in the fun."
Ever since after Ling Zikun's incident, Ruo Xu's impression of Ye Yuan improved significantly.
Thinking about it, for Heavenly Eagle Imperial City to have such a genius, there only seemed to be advantages and no disadvantage.
