Ye Yuan had already stopped at third firmament spatial law for very long. Today, under the envelopment of this powerful spatial law, he finally produced a trace of enlightenment and started breaking through.
When the others saw this scene, they were all shocked until they could not close their mouths.
Luo Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe, this is a so-called genius!"
These words coming out of his mouth were really rather bitter.
In this thousand over years, he had always been crowned with the title of a genius. He himself thought so too.
Regardless of whether it was cultivation speed or laws comprehension, he examined his own conscience and felt that he did not lose to anyone.
All the way until he saw Ye Yuan gain enlightenment on Dao today, this confidence was utterly shattered into pieces.
The other four people, including Baili Qingyan, all deeply felt that way too as they nodded their heads.
"This isn't an ordinary law, but this is one of the supreme laws, spatial law! This guy is really a freak!" Li Long could not resist spitting, being dealt a terrible blow.
Under everyone's eyes, Ye Yuan took a step out, his body immediately vanishing.
Ye Yuan blended right into the void.
While at this time, Du Rufeng, Kong Wen, and Kong Chen, also entered the barrier and just happened to see the scene of Ye Yuan submerging into the void, their eyes opening wide.
"This … This is spatial law! He comprehended the fourth firmament spatial law! This kid was actually so monstrous?" Kong Wen said in immense shock.
"His profound acc.u.mulations erupted. Encountering the spatial power of the heart of the void realm, his power of law directly achieved mastery through comprehensive study of the subject, and understood! We cannot compare to this child!" Kong Wen also said.
Even Du Rufeng was also inexplicably shocked.
He knew that Ye Yuan might very likely gain enlightenment on Dao, but he did not think that it would be this fast.
The others had not started yet and he already comprehended!
Chapter 1839 - Kidnapping an Empyrean
Inside the barrier, Kong Wen and Kong Chen looked at the Ye Yuan above the void with envious looks.
"Tsk tsk, us two brothers spent nearly 400 thousand years to comprehend to fourth firmament spatial law! This brat is just over a thousand years old and actually already did it to this level!" Kong Wen lamented.
The Kong Family was a family clan that guarded the heart of the void realm for generations. They had a natural advantage in comprehending spatial law.
Furthermore, the Kong brothers were also considered among the best in the Kong Family.
But even so, they only started comprehending spatial law when they reached the late-stage Celestial Deity Realm.
Furthermore, the time that they spent was extremely long!
But Ye Yuan only used a thousand over years and completed something that they comprehended for 400 thousand years.
This kind of natural aptitude could be rated as freakish.
Little Tong rolled his eyes at him and said, "Wonder who was it who said that this season's disciples can't make it!"
Kong Wen's expression turned stiff and he said embarrassedly, "Your Excellency, I … Didn't I not know?"
Little Tong snorted coldly and said, "If you don't know, then don't simply say things. Some people are existences that you have to look up to all your life. Therefore, be more low-key in conduct."
Kong Wen had an appearance like he learned a lesson and said, "Yes, Your Excellency! Kong Wen won't dare next time!"
Right at this time, the Ye Yuan above the void slowly opened his eyes and let out a sigh as he said, "Spatial law is indeed incredibly marvelous. The comprehension ends here as well."
When the Kong Wen duo heard these words, they nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood and cursed, "You scoundrelly brat, intentionally aggravating us? From initial-stage fourth firmament to peak initial-stage, I used a full 50 thousand years!"
Spending three years' time, Ye Yuan's spatial law comprehension reached peak initial-stage Fourth Firmament and was unable to make any more progress.
Ye Yuan said it not without reason. But this speed in Kong pWen two people's view was already a heaven-defying existence. It was also no wonder that he was very depressed when he heard it.
Ye Yuan's figure swayed. When he appeared again, he already arrived beside Little Tong and the rest.
Spatial law fourth level, spatial shift!
Before this, Ye Yuan could shuttle through the void, but it was all within a very small range.
But now, Ye Yuan would be several hundred thousand miles away with a thought. The two could not be mentioned in the same breath at all.
Celestial Deity powerhouses could also utilize spatial law and shuttle through the void. But their speed compared to Ye Yuan's was like heaven and earth.
"Little Tong, you follow me. I have something to tell you," Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and said.
Little Tong was somewhat uncertain, not knowing what Ye Yuan had up his sleeves, but he still followed.
"What is it? Quickly spit out what you have!" The two people came to a deserted place and Little Tong said with disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.
Ye Yuan flashed a smile at Little Tong and suddenly made a move like lightning, swiftly tapping a few times on Little Tong's body.
Little Tong's face changed, unable to use an ounce of his strength.
"Boy, do you know what you're doing?" Little Tong said in a solemn voice.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Don't get agitated first, I have something to discuss with you, my Lord Empyrean!"
Little Tong's face changed and he said, "What are you talking about? I don't understand!"
Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "A straightforward person doesn't beat around the bush, Lord Empyrean. Stop pretending. When those True God powerhouses saw you, each and every one of their faces was not right. Even I can't even perceive this, then I'd also be too stupid."
Actually, Ye Yuan felt that something was wrong with Little Tong long ago. He kept saying that Treasure Pig was his pet, but how could a strange pet like Treasure Pig be handed to a child?
Also, even though Du Rufeng deliberately hid it, his respect for Little Tong sometimes showed up unintentionally.
Coupled with the expressions when the Kong brothers saw Little Tong, Ye Yuan was very certain that Little Tong was not some Empyrean powerhouse's grandson, but the Empyrean himself!
It was just that no idea for what reason, Little Tong became this current appearance.
Little Tong's expression was ugly to the extreme and he said, "Could it be that you're Daoless that old dog's man? Don't you forget, this place is the divine temple! If you dare to touch me, Du Rufeng and the Kong brothers won't let you off!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Daoless? That's also an Empyrean powerhouse of the temple, right? But he has nothing to do with me. Calling you here, I actually just want to negotiate a deal with you."
Only after hearing Ye Yuan's words did Little Tong's face ease up slightly.
But he also knew that the deal Ye Yuan was talking to him about was definitely not something good. Otherwise, he also would not need to restrain him.
This fellow had such gall. Since he knew his identity, he still dared to take liberties with him. Wasn't he scared of him taking revenge?
"Speak!" Little Tong said huffily.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I want to invite you to go to the Heavenspan World together with me!"
Hearing this, Little Tong's expression suddenly changed and he cried out in surprise: "You! You're a person of the Heavenspan World? This … This is impossible!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Are you talking about my divine essence? Huhu, the cultivation method that I cultivate is a little special. Mimicking the Bamboo Groove Void Realm's divine essence isn't a big deal to me."
Little Tong's expression was ugly as he said, "Impossible! You can forget about it
!"
Ye Yuan shrugged his shoulders, patted Treasure Pig's baby pink little head, and said with a doleful look, "Treasure Pig, sorry, not that I'm not willing to refine medicinal pills for you. If we're fated in the future … we'll still meet again."
"Grunt, grunt!"
Treasure Pig suddenly broke free from Little Tong's arms and used a pair of short pig hoofs to hug Ye Yuan's t.h.i.g.hs, eyes brimming with tears, a look of reluctance to part.
Ye Yuan let out a sigh and said, "Not that I'm heartless, it's that the Heavenspan World still has many things waiting for me to go do! Uh … maybe in the future, when I finish settling everything, I'll come to the Bamboo Groove Void Realm to find you again, alright?"
Treasure Pig's little head shook like a rattle-drum, clutching Ye Yuan's leg desperately, unwilling to let go.
When Little Tong saw this scene, he was furious until he gnashed his teeth and cursed, "Shameless!"
Ye Yuan looked at Little Tong and said helplessly, "Actually, I took part in the Bamboo Groove Martial Conclave, my goal was in order to enter the heart of the void realm. It's just a pity that I have ties in the Bamboo Groove Void Realm now. Once I leave the Bamboo Groove Void Realm, you all will definitely make a move on the Shadowmoon Sect. No choice, I can only take this step. Furthermore, your current state isn't able to refine medicinal pills for Treasure Pig at all. You going to the Heavenspan World together with me is the best choice."
Little Tong looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly, not expecting that he actually had such plans.
It seemed like this boy was someone who valued relationsh.i.p.s.
Actually, on the whole, Ye Yuan did not live happily in the Shadowmoon Sect.
In fact, for the sake of killing Qian Ye, he even incurred resentment with the sect master.
But, without the Shadowmoon Sect, this springboard, there was no way he could enter the heart of the void realm.
Ye Yuan asked for a clear conscience when doing things.
If he left the Bamboo Groove Void Realm rashly, it would definitely implicate the Shadowmoon Sect. They might even be destroyed because of it.
Before he left, he had no choice but to take the Shadowmoon Sect into consideration.
Originally, he was still struggling with how to deal with this matter. But after he discovered Little Tong's identity, he had this bold plan.
Furthermore, Treasure Pig was very reliant on Ye Yuan now. If Ye Yuan left, probably no one could satisfy it anymore.
Chapter 1840 - What is Love?
"Just that? If I say no?" Little Tong's gaze looked at Ye Yuan scorchingly as he said in a solemn voice.
He was an exalted Empyrean powerhouse. Even if his strength was no longer there now, he was also not what anybody could knead.
He did not believe that Ye Yuan really dared to do something to him.
As long as anyone found out, Ye Yuan would definitely die.
How did the current Little Tong still look like a little kid? His face was full of wisdom that was not commensurate with his age.
Treasure Pig looked back at Little Tong with a pitiful appearance. It truly gave people a feeling of unable to help to show tender care when one saw it.
But Little Tong snorted coldly and said, "You stupid pig, it's none of your business here. Get back here for me!"
Treasure Pig's head shook like a rattle-drum but hugged Ye Yuan's leg even harder.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Heavenly Emperor Realm! Don't you wish to step into the realm of Heavenly Emperor?"
Little Tong's expression finally had a change.
But very soon, he laughed coldly and said, "Heh, Heavenly Emperor Realm, just the likes of you, a measly Celestial Deity Realm, also dares to make this kind of promise to me?"
But Ye Yuan did not care at all and said with a faint smile, "Bamboo Groove Void Realm is only a tiny place in the end, a subsidiary of the Heavenspan World. Even if you're a god-like existence in this place, it's ultimately just deceiving yourself and others too, no? Moreover, your current situation in the temple probably isn't too good, right?"
Little Tong's expression changed again and again, Ye Yuan's observation ability was too sharp.
He had clearly never been in contact with the temple's upper echelons and knew absolutely nothing about the temple's situation. Just by relying on what he saw and his guts, he could guess so many things.
This mind was tough for ordinary people to match!
Furthermore, the most, most important thing was that Ye Yuan's words hit the bottom of his heart.
They all, these Bamboo Groove Void Realm's supreme powerhouses, all enjoyed the worship of all life, enjoying the treatment of a god.
They were afraid of facing the outside world.
Empyrean powerhouses were indeed a formidable force in the Heavenspan World. But to talk about being powerful, that could not be said no matter what.
There were still Heavenly Emperor powerhouses above Empyreans. There were Transcendent Heavenly Emperors, and even Dao Ancestors!
What did Empyreans count for?
Any random Heavenly Emperor powerhouse that came out could instantly kill them!
Putting it bluntly, they were merely frogs at the bottom of a well, intoxicated in their own world, that was all.
Ye Yuan observed his words and expression and continued, "I'm just at the Celestial Deity Realm, so I'm naturally not qualified enough to babble away about Heavenly Emperor. But my alchemy skills, you've witnessed it before. How do you think it compares to you?"
Little Tong was silent, his expression rather ugly.
"Grunt, grunt …"
Little Tong did not speak, but Treasure Pig sounded out.
That meaning was very clear, Ye Yuan's medicinal pills were tastier than Little Tong's!
Little Tong wished to kick it flying with a foot and said furiously, "You creature who lives off me while secretly helping others, you scram with him then. The further you scram, the better!"
Treasure Pig had an aggrieved look, it was just telling the truth.
When Ye Yuan saw this scene, he also could not help smiling.
Treasure Pig's requirement towards the quality of medicinal pills was exceedingly high. He was already used to eating Ye Yuan's medicinal pills now. Du Rufeng's medicinal pills were already tasteless to him.
"Since that's the case, how do you know that I'm unable to refine medicinal pills to let you break through to the realm of Heavenly Emperor in the future?"
Finished saying these, Ye Yuan stopped talking, quietly waiting for Little Tong's outcome.
He was confident in himself that Little Tong would definitely agree.
His strength was currently very weak, staying in the temple was very dangerous instead. Might as well go outside together with him and make his break.
"Alright, you win. I'll go with you! Now, release the restrictions on me!" No idea how long had passed, Little Tong finally agreed.
Hearing Little Tong agree, Treasure Pig immediately started jumping happily.
Nothing was more important than delicious food.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "That won't do, an Empyrean powerhouse who became a child is also an Empyrean powerhouse. I don't want to take my life as a joke. I have a poison here that I specially made for you. When you consume it, I'll release the restrictions for you."
Little Tong was angered until his expression was livid. Glaring fiercely at Ye Yuan, he said, "Punk, when I recover my strength, I'll definitely kill you straight away!"
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "You won't! Kill me and there won't be anyone to refine pills for Treasure Pig anymore. Don't you say so, Treasure Pig?"
Treasure Pig nodded its head very seriously and tunneled into Ye Yuan's bosom with a grunt.
...
"What? You want to enter the Heavenspan World?" When Du Rufeng heard Little Tong's words, he nearly jumped up.
Little Tong said with a serious look, "I've thought about it, better leave first for the time being. I returne
d to boyhood from old age because of my cultivation method. This matter can't be hidden for long. Once Daoless that old fogey knows about my current situation, he likely won't let me off."
Du Rufeng's face changed and he said, "Then … this disciple will follow you together to the Heavenspan World!"
Little Tong shook his head and said, "No, even if you go, you can't be of any help too. Ye Yuan accompanying me will do."
Du Rufeng was taken aback and said, "Y-Ye Yuan?"
Little Tong could not resist rolling his eyes and said with a nod, "Right now, Treasure Pig has stopped eating your medicinal pills already. Do you think that you can replace Ye Yuan's position? Relax, just take it as bringing him out to train. This boy is a promising talent."
Du Rufeng nodded his head, deeply feeling that way too, and said, "Then … alright, but Your Excellency must be careful. The Heavenspan World can't compare to the Bamboo Groove Void Realm. Experts are plentiful like clouds."
With this excuse, Ye Yuan going to the Heavenspan World became proper and justified.
He also did not need to worry that the temple would vent their anger on the Shadowmoon Sect because of this.
Before leaving the Bamboo Groove Void Realm, Du Rufeng even found a large pile of rank five spirit medicines and directly gave it to Ye Yuan.
Treasure Pig was a big glutton, not bringing along enough food would not do.
Actually, after Ye Yuan opened up the Purple Extreme Hall's second level, he was also rather wealthy now. Purchasing rank five spirit medicines was still doable.
But with the temple's present, he naturally accepted it graciously too.
Ten days later, two people and one pig entered the heart of the void realm, disappearing from everyone's sight.
...
Seven years later, the other four people recovered from their enlightenment.
"Looks like you all had significant harvests. Alright, this matter is settled. This old man can now go back and report on the fulfillment of the mission. Come on," Du Rufeng said coolly.
But Baili Qingyan's brows furrowed and she said, "Elder Du, where's Ye Yuan? Why is he not here?"
