Void spirit divine-grade medicinal pills were virtually legendary existences. Ye Yuan actually took out a big pile in one go!
Using rank three divine pills to suppress the injuries of a rank four powerhouses, only Ye Yuan dared to do so. Only he could do so.
Gao Yuan was incomparably in despair inwardly. Both his legs were utterly crushed, his entire person's aura feeble to the extreme.
However, his d.e.s.i.r.e to live was extremely strong. He did not wish to die here.
Hence, he used both hands to crawl, wanting to escape from here.
But Ye Yuan did not care about him at all and said to Zheng Qi, "How is it? Can you stand up?"
Zheng Qi lifted his head and looked at Ye Yuan as he nodded and said, "Yeah!"
Ye Yuan smiled, helped Zheng Qi up, and slowly walked over towards Gao Yuan.
Seeing Gao Yuan's miserable appearance, Zheng Qi was extremely delighted in his heart.
"H-Haha, old fogey, you didn't expect for this day to come, right? Over 60 thousand over years! I've already waited more than 60 thousand years for this day!" Zheng Qi endured the pain and said with a big laugh.
Gao Yuan had a look of despair as he exclaimed, "Y-Younger Brother Zheng, I was wrong! I … I beg you to let me go!"
Zheng Qi sneered and said, "Let you go? Then who will let Master go?"
Ye Yuan handed the Junyi Sword to Zheng Qi's hands. Zheng Qi looked at Ye Yuan gratefully, the long sword suddenly glided by.
Puchi!
Gao Yuan's pupils gradually enlarged, his life rapidly flowing away. He finally ceased breathing.
Zheng Qi's tears coursed down his old face as he looked up to the sky and cried bitterly, "Master, did you see it? This disciple … finally avenged you!"
Chapter 1638 - Too Courteous
"Ye Yuan, thank you!"
Facing Ye Yuan, tears flowed down Zheng Qi's old face.
Achieving his long-cherished wish made him feel as if a heavy weight was lifted from his mind.
Originally, he already lost all hope. It was Ye Yuan who pulled him out of despair.
The gratitude in his heart was already unable to use words to express. He could only say these simple four words.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Head Elder's sincere heart, Ye Yuan admires it. This minor thing isn't worth mentioning. This place isn't suitable to stay for long. We'd better hurry up and leave."
The two people returned to find Ning Tianping and the rest. Ye Yuan displayed spatial laws and brought everyone back above the cliff.
"Finally we can see the sun! This trip is really aggrieving!"
"Yeah, my realm was suppressed so much for no reason. It felt really awful!"
"All thanks to Elder Ye! Otherwise, probably none of us can escape this time."
...
Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's people all sighed with vicissitudes of emotion.
Life and death, two different worlds; they all, these elders and protectors, had never experienced such a dangerous place before.
It was not that those fierce beasts were powerful, but it was that their realms were being suppressed.
This kind of powerlessness made them feel terrible, feeling despair.
Luckily, they had Ye Yuan. That was how they escaped alive.
Although Heavenly Eagle Imperial City also had casualties this time, compared to the other imperial cities and itinerant cultivators, their losses were the least.
Therefore, they were grateful to Ye Yuan from the bottom of their hearts.
The party was just about to leave when suddenly, two figures flew over swiftly. They were precisely the Song Yu and Lei Yi who left and had returned.
The two of them joined hands and severely injured Ka Suo, but that guy still escaped.
Returning above, they were no longer restrained by the origin magnetic field, recovering to Celestial Deity Realm.
The two people consulted it over and turned back once more.
Ye Yuan looked at these two people with a smile that was not a smile and said coolly, "What? The two of you want to commit highway robbery?"
Song Yu said in a solemn voice, "Hand over the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain! Otherwise, you can forget about walking out of River Eternal Imperial City! Even if we can't do anything to do, do you think that they can escape?"
Ye Yuan took out the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, held it in his hand, and said with a faint smile, "If you want it, then I'll give it to you!"
Finished talking, Ye Yuan lightly sent it with one hand. The Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain flew towards the two with immense speed.
The two people did not feel the undulation of the power of laws at all and even thought that Ye Yuan really gave up.
The two recovered to Celestial Deity Realm. If Ye Yuan did not utilize the power of laws, this Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain did not pose much threat to them.
When the two saw this, they could not help being overjoyed, falling over each other to go and catch the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain.
However, when they touched the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, they only felt a tremendous force that could topple mountains and overturn the seas transmitting over.
Rumble!
"Puhwark!"
Caught by surprise, the two people were brutally struck, figures flying out.
And the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain suffered the counter-shock, returning to Ye Yuan's hands again.
"You guys are really too courteous. Since you all don't want it, then I'll reluctantly accept it," Ye Yuan said with a smile.
The surrounding people were all dumbfounded with shock, looking at this scene with extreme astonishment.
Song Yu and Lei Yi were Celestial Deity powerhouses!
Even though they were heavily injured, Celestial Deity powerhouses were Celestial Deity powerhouses, existences that could not be defeated.
Now, they were actually smacked flying by Ye Yuan with a mountain!
The power of this enormous mountain was simply too terrifying.
Toward the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain, everyone's eyes became incomparably heated.
Except, Ye Yuan smacked two Celestial Deity powerhouses flying with a mountain. So how could they still dare to have designs on the Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain?
Song Yu and Lei Yi's insides were in upheaval currently, a breath stifled in their c.h.e.s.ts, unable to breathe. They could not speak at all.
They did not expect that the power of this toss could actually be so fierce.
Careless!
How could this punk possibly spit out the thing that he ate so easily?
But they also did not expect that this Origin Magnetic Divine Mountain was actually so heavy, to actually be able to smash them, Celestial Deity powerhouses, to heavy injuries.
Of course, this was primarily still because they were seriously wounded, their strength less than 10%.
Right now, they piled injuries on top of injuries and virtually could not move anymore.
Ye Yuan cupped his fists toward Ling Zikun and said, "Head Elder, we'll be going back. There is no need to see us off."
Ling Zikun's expression was not too good either. After all, Song Yu was their grand elder.
It was just that he was being suppressed by Ye Yuan right now, how could he still dare to make a move?
Hence, Ye Yuan brought Heavenly Eagle's people, boarded the flying boat, and left under everyone's eyes.
...
The news of Ye Yuan seizing the precious treasure and returning astounded the Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's upper echelons.
Apart from this, another news that roused people's morale came over, Second Elder Xuan Yu broke through to half-step Celestial Deity Realm!
Clearly, this was thanks to Ye Yuan!
The higher-ups announced that Xuan Yu would replace Ruo Xu, becoming the Pill Tower's head elder.
For some time, the top of the city walls showcased a big royal flag.
Hearing that Ye Yuan returned, Xuan Y
u came to visit straight away.
"Huhu, congratulations, Head Elder!" Ye Yuan cupped his fists and said.
Xuan Yu scolded with a laugh, "You brat, still giving me this crap! If not for you, it's impossible for me to break through too."
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That's all on Head Elder whose talent surpasses people. What has it to do with me? However … Second Elder is probably unresigned to it, right?"
Xuan Yu sighed and said, "Isn't that so? This old man doesn't mind about empty reputation, but Ruo Xu is different. These days, he claimed to be sick and didn't come out, practically in a state of semi-retirement already."
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "If he didn't react at all, then you'd have to be more careful. As for now, he can't play any tricks either."
Xuan Yu nodded his head. Regarding these things, he was really not adept at it.
But he did not come today for this matter. Hence, he furrowed his brows and said, "Zheng Qi actually used Crazed Sword Evanescent this move. Now, his realm regressed, longevity greatly damaged. I … I'm also at a loss on what to do!"
Ye Yuan used rank three divine pills and preserved Zheng Qi's life. But it could not let him recover back to new.
Currently, Zheng Qi's realm directly fell to the initial-stage Divine Lord Realm. Furthermore, his lifespan did not have much remaining. He was already a cripple.
Xuan Yu had just become head elder, this naturally became a responsibility that fell on him.
But Zheng Qi's losses this time were extremely great. Ordinary medicinal pills had no effect on him at all. Even if Xuan Yu had broken through his realm, he was unable to refine the necessary pills as well.
Refining peak rank four divine pills were not like refining rank three divine pills. For Xuan Yu to want to refine high-grade medicinal pills, it was virtually impossible.
Hence, he came to seek help from Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan also sighed when he heard that and said, "I'm unable to refine rank four divine pills right now, and am also at a loss on what to do! I'll impart to you some methods. You only need to preserve Head Elder Zheng Qi's life first. As for the rest, better wait for me to break through to the Divine Lord Realm before talking."
Xuan Yu's eyes lit up and he said, "Going out this time, you found the opportunity to breakthrough?"
Ye Yuan laughed bitterly and shook his head and said, "Honestly, I don't have any clues."
Xuan Yu got a shock when he heard that. Normally, with Ye Yuan's heaven-defying talent, breaking through to Divine Lord Realm should not be difficult.
Even if he was temporarily unable to break through, it was also impossible to keep on not having clues to breakthrough!
"How is this possible? The cultivation method that you cultivate should be very powerful, breaking through to Divine Lord Realm should be something that happens naturally without additional effort!" Xuan Yu said.
Chapter 1639 - The Fallen Genius
"Elder Ye, you're back?" Ye Yuan just entered the inner-city and ran into Lin Dong with a few friends. Lin Dong smiled as he greeted Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan gave him a glance, slightly nodded his head, and walked by, and did not have the intention of responding to him.
Lin Dong was verbally respectful, but his face did not have any hint of respect at all.
On the contrary, his face was full of mockery and gloating over others' misfortune.
His few friends were the same as him, their faces being full of disdain.
Seeing Ye Yuan ignore him, Lin Dong smiled coldly and said to his friends, "Being c.o.c.ky for what? Does he still think that he's that genius elder? Can't even break through to the Divine Lord Realm, and yet to also dare proclaim himself to be a genius. Truly laughable!"
"Heh heh, can't break through to the Divine Lord Realm, whatever genius he is, simply dog fart!"
"I heard that there are already rumors upstairs, saying to abolish his position as an elder! Heh, once it becomes true, that will be avenging grievances if there are, taking revenge if there's grudge!"
"He still thinks that he's the imperial city's upper echelon figure, putting on airs in front of us!"
"Hahaha!"
...
These people talked very loudly and did not have the intention of avoiding Ye Yuan at all.
Clearly, they did not think anything of Ye Yuan, this elder, anymore.
In a twinkle, 300 years had already passed since returning from the Fiend Calling Ridge!
During these 300 years, Ye Yuan had attempted no idea how many methods, but he still could not find the key to creating the fourth layer cultivation method.
This door was seemingly thoroughly shut for him.
Ye Yuan visualized the Lesser Heavenspan Mountain, attempting to break through with Alchemy Dao, but he gained nothing.
After even going for closed-seclusion he could not find the way, Ye Yuan frequently went out alone to train and even refined a void spirit divine-grade Vastsun Universe Pill to consume.
But all of the efforts were akin to a rock sinking into the ocean, not having any effect at all.
Back then, Ye Yuan coming roaring into existence shocked the entire Heavenly Eagle Imperial City. Even the Celestial Deity powerhouses upstairs made an exception and promoted Ye Yuan to Pill Tower elder.
For some time, it was incredibly shocking.
Everyone would not doubt that Ye Yuan would become a Divine Lord Realm powerhouse very soon!
However, same as how everyone could not imagine Ye Yuan's terrifying strength, they also did not think that Ye Yuan was unable to break through to the Divine Lord Realm for 300 years.
To a mediocre talent, 300 years to break through to Divine Lord Realm, that was a normal phenomenon.
But to Ye Yuan, 300 years were far too long!
Keep on failing to break through to Divine Lord Realm, there were naturally some voices that called for an inquiry concerning him within the city.
Especially when Ye Yuan was a large tree where the winds howled around the highest peaks, practically everyone's eyes were fixed on him.
Now, this kind of questioning voice, they were currently getting stronger and stronger. Therefore, that was why Lin Dong they all dared to disregard Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan had just returned from training outside and heard the news that they were going to abolish his elder position.
He believed that this was not a groundless rumor, otherwise, Lin Dong would not dare to be so arrogant as well.
However, he did not mind.
The position of elder might be extremely respected to others, but to him, he did not have much hesitation to leave the post.
His horizons would never stop on the position of a measly elder.
Regarding Lin Dong their provocation, Ye Yuan could not be bothered to care as well, leaving straightaway.
But when Lin Dong they all saw Ye Yuan remain silent, they even thought that Ye Yuan was scared, and became even more brazen.
They actually chased next to Ye Yuan and continued to ridicule.
"Goodness me, our great genius Ye actually fled in disgrace! Hahaha …"
"We, these mediocre talents, already broke through to the Divine Lord Realm. But Elder Ye who's called the number one genius is actually unable to break through to the Divine Lord Realm, really making people die of laughter!"
"Heh, the imperial city let him be elder because they were certain that he could break through to the Divine Lord Realm. But now, it seemed like people at the upstairs misjudged the person!"
...
Everyone was just talking when a powerful aura suddenly descended. An old man suddenly appeared on the streets, using an icy-cold gaze to look at Lin Dong and the rest.
Lin Dong and the rest seemed to have dropped into ice, their words abruptly ceasing.
"A-Ancestor!" Lin Dong and the rest said stammeringly.
"Scram!" Coldfeather said in a cold voice.
"Y-Yes, Ancestor!"
Lin Dong and the rest did not expect that Coldfeather would act
ually show up here and were frightened until they wet their pants in terror, escaping like flying.
Coldfeather looked at Ye Yuan and said in anger from failing to live up to expectations, "You're at any rate a Pill Tower elder too. How can you allow these bastards to bully freely?"
In these 300 years, Celestial Deity Realm seemed to have been enlightened, breaking through all the way to half-step Celestial Deity Realm. It was truly thick acc.u.mulations erupting.
Now, Coldfeather's status in Heavenly Eagle Imperial City naturally rose along with the general situation.
Coldfeather did not like these mundane affairs. But presently, Zheng Qi was half-dead, so Coldfeather took up the responsibility of the Martial Tower's affairs.
This world was realistic. One should not look at how Coldfeather's seniority was high. If his realm kept on remaining stagnant and did not advance, he would only be flaunting his seniority. No one would care about him at all.
But now, there was naturally no one who dared to underestimate him.
Ye Yuan looked at Coldfeather and said with a smile, "Isn't it said that my position of elder is about to be gone?"
Coldfeather froze, heaved a sigh, and said, "You keep on being unable to break through, so it's hard to shut everybody's mouths! This matter, this old man also strongly opposed it, but those two fellows also had their concerns. You shouldn't blame them."
Ye Yuan knew those two fellows in Coldfeather's words were Heavenly Eagle Imperial City's two Celestial Deity powerhouses.
These two people, one had even higher seniority than Coldfeather, the other was in the same generation with Coldfeather.
This was Heavenly Eagle Imperial City, so it was naturally their words that counts the most.
Ye Yuan smiled when he heard that and said, "What's Brother Coldfeather saying? Being an elder is good; being a mortal is fine too. They are merely empty titles. If cultivators of my generation don't have strength, everything is naturally empty talk."
Coldfeather was rather surprised at Ye Yuan's reaction. He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually so open-minded.
One had to know, the resources that elders enjoyed were not what ordinary people could compare to.
To martial artists, what was the most important?
