Beside Ye Yuan, Ning Siyu danced with joy, becoming like a different person from the queen just now.
This feeling right now made her have a feeling of transforming from a swallow into a phoenix.
To Ning Siyu, the imperial capital was a massive place.
How many geniuses were there in the entire Southern Border?
This level of alchemy battle was not what she, a little girl who came from the countryside, could take part in at all.
But after exchanging blows with Luo Yue they all, she suddenly discovered that it turns out she had long already been standing on the same starting line as the entire Southern Border's geniuses under His Excellency's guidance.
No, wait! It should be that she had walked even further!
These so-called ancient families' descendants, alchemy geniuses, were actually all defeated at her hands.
Even thinking about it now, Ning Siyu felt rather incredulous.
Ye Yuan said, "These people were merely instigated by others. Their strength isn't considered strong. In this Cloudpill Summit, the true geniuses should have already stepped into the Dao Realm."
Ning Siyu's gaze turned intent and she said in surprise, "So impressive?"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "But you don't need to belittle yourself either. Wanting to step into the Dao Realm, they are at least Six-star Alchemy Gods. Among Five-star Alchemy Gods, your strength can practically sweep through already."
Ning Siyu said solemnly, "Siyu won't lose face for Your Excellency!"
Ye Yuan nodded his head and brought Ning Siyu and left, only leaving behind the crowd with stunned expressions.
...
"Young Master Yun, Ning Siyu and Luo Yue fought hard for more than four hours. Finally, Ning Siyu broke through to the grand completion Initial Realm, overpowering Luo Yue. All 23 ancient families' alchemy geniuses were defeated!"
After listening entirely to the manservant's report, there was death-like silence inside the box room.
Originally wanted to take Ye Yuan down a notch and make him reveal his true colors. Who knew that they helped Ye Yuan's maidservant achieve her aim.
The Cloudpill Summit's great battle had yet to start and Ning Siyu's great name was likely going to echo throughout Cloudpill.
An ancient family's descendant suddenly said, "T-This Ning Siyu's strength is likely also a top ten existence when placed among Six-star Alchemy Gods!"
"To be able to teach such a terrifying maidservant, could he …"
Ning Siyu's performance finally made these people start to waver.
"Impossible!" Yun Yi denied this guess firmly and said coldly, "I understand! This lass must be the protective talisman that Empyrean Flutterfeather gave Ye Yuan. Ning Siyu is probably Empyrean Flutterfeather's beloved disciple! You guys, think about it yourselves. What were you doing when you were a thousand plus years old? Even if he's exceptionally talented, it's also impossible to reach the realm of grandmaster, isn't that so?"
The moment Zheng Buqun heard, his eyes also lit up and he said with a nod, "What Brother Yun Yi says is right, we were nearly hoodwinked! It's just that, I didn't expect that Empyrean Flutterfeather actually brought up such a formidable disciple. Given time, there will likely be another genius figure in the Southern Border's alchemy world!"
Everyone secretly nodded when they heard it. They had no way of refuting.
"Brother Yun Yi, this punk concealed himself too deeply. What should we do?" An ancient family's descendant said.
Yun Yi had an appearance like everything was planned out as he said with a faint smile, "Relax. He can avoid for a moment, but he can't avoid for life. Our statuses are a little low, but don't you all forget, there are still those grandmasters! Moreover … you all don't forget, there's still Empyrean Purplewing! Brother Buqun, this will have to rely on you!"
Zheng Buqun and Yun Yi exchanged a glance and could not help laughing.
...
Inside a luxurious pavilion in the inner-city, powerful undulations spread out.
But after these undulations came into contact with the pavilion's array formation, they were extinguished very quickly.
"Condense!"
Suddenly, a cold cry came over.
Pill formed!
"Excellent skills! Brother Purplewing's strength is a notch higher compared to the last Cloudpill Summit!"
"Impressive! Impressive! This Blue Sky Zenith Pill, this Empyrean has attempted many times, but I couldn't refine it from start to end. I didn't expect that Brother Purplewing actually succeeded in one try!"
Beside the medicinal cauldron, the Empyrean Purplewing dressed in purple robes revealed a hint of smugness on his face.
"Heh, originally, this Empyrean didn't plan on coming this time. But I couldn't simply accept Brother Pilljade's boundless hospitality. That's why I agreed to it with great difficulty," Empyrean Purplewing said with a smile. It was just that the smile was rather awkward.
After he knew that Empyrean Flutterfeather gave the grandmaster token to a snotty brat. There was no need to mention how enraged he was.
But Empyrean Flutterfeather's status was above his. He also could not go and find the other party to reason it out. He naturally had a stomach full of anger.
Originally, he did not plan on coming. But Empyrean Pilljade issued an invitation to him.
Considering Empyrean Pilljade's face, he naturally had to give.
He came, but this hurdle in his heart could not be cleared no matter what.
Inside this pavilion were all Empyrean powerhouses, Seven-star Alchemy Gods.
The Cloudpill Summit was not merely just the stage for those genius alchemists to exhibit themselves. Actually, the top priority was their exchange, these Seven-star Alchemy Gods.
Alchemy Dao entering Seven-star, the effort expended that was required for each improvement made, was calculated with tens of thousands of years.
During this kind of exchange, everyone each took what they were good at, and could naturally help each other forward.
A Seven-star Alchemy God said, "Sigh! Also don't know how Brother Flutterfeather thinks, to actually give the grandmaster token to a brat still wet behind his ears. His status is even above ours. How will we, these old fellows, put our faces?"
Empyrean Purplewing chuckled and said, "Perhaps that kid's Alchemy Dao is really exceedingly formidable, crushing us at a young age? Brother Flutterfeather naturally has his reason to do so."
On the outside, Empyrean Flutterfeather and him, Empyrean Purplewing, were both Empyreans under Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure's command. He naturally could not be too diametrically opposed when talking.
But the sourness in the implied and explicit meaning of his words, even a pig could discern it.
Being ridden on top of his head by a Six-star Alchemy God, this taste was not pleasant.
At this time, an Empyrean powerhouse came forward to urge, "It's still Brother Purplewing who is broadminded! Your strength, all of us has a score in our hearts and don't need a grandmaster token to affirm it at all. Apart from the seven great holy lands' masters, Brother Purplewing's strength is also the pinnacle-most existence among grandmasters."
Empyrean Purplewing smiled and said, "Brother Zheng is too kind! There is always someone better, and heaven beyond heaven! This Empyrean came this time primarily to catch up with everyone and have exchanges."
The Empyrean powerhouse speaking was precisely the Zheng Family's ancestor, Seven-star Alchemy God, Zheng Qiyuan.
A few days ago, he heard Zheng Buqun's report, saying that Ye Yuan was incomparably arrogant and looked down on the Zheng Family.
Zheng Qiyuan naturally flew into a great rage after hearing it. A mere Six-star Alchemy God actually dared to challenge him?
Holding a grandmaster token and he really took himself to be a grandmaster?
This brat that came from God knows where was also arrogant to the extreme.
Zheng Qiyuan smiled and said, "Currently in the city, the rumors are that
Ye Yuan is the Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma's newly-ascended genius disciple. Empyrean Flutterfeather only gave the grandmaster token to him due to being coerced by Heavenly Emperor Myriad Treasure's pressure. Brother Purplewing, you're also under Lord Myriad Treasure, wonder if there's such a thing?"
"Bullshit genius disciple! There's no such person in the Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma at all!" Empyrean Purplewing could not refrain from cursing.
Zheng Qiyuan was also slightly surprised when he heard. His thinking was the same as Zheng Buqun. He did not expect that Ye Yuan did not come from the Myriad Treasure Bodhidharma at all.
"So that's how it is! Then I'm very perplexed, Brother Purplewing! How about this, we invite him over to our conference? Everyone will help you vent this frustration!" Zheng Qiyuan said.
Chapter 2025 - Not Treating Himself as an Outsider
"Ye Yuan, somebody sent an invitation over earlier. The person said to let you open it personally." Ning Siyu handed an invitation to Ye Yuan.
Ye Yuan opened it and took a look, and his brows could not help knitting together.
Ning Siyu also had a curious face. Moving closer to take a look, she discovered that it turned out it was an invitation to an alchemy gathering.
"Your Excellency, these are all Empyrean powerhouses, Seven-star Alchemy Gods! Tsk tsk, grandmasters are grandmasters, even the treatment is different," Ning Siyu smiled and said.
Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "Grandmaster? Huhu, there's probably an ulterior motive, right?"
Ning Siyu was stunned but reacted very quickly.
In her heart, Ye Yuan was a powerhouse on the same level as these Seven-star Alchemy Gods. So her first reaction when she saw the invitation was that Ye Yuan was very impressive.
But as long as one thought about it slightly, they would know that something was not right.
She thought so, but they did not think that way!
Could those Empyreans have a high opinion of Ye Yuan, this Six-star Alchemy God?
"Like that huh? Then we aren't going?" Ning Siyu said.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Go. Why aren't we going? Being able to become a Seven-star Alchemy God, there's bound to be some saving grace. Since that's the case, what's the harm in going to interact with them?"
Ye Yuan agreeing to come to the Cloudpill Summit was aiming at these Seven-star Alchemy Gods.
Reaching the realm of Seven-star Alchemy God Realm, each one could not be underestimated.
Ye Yuan had never doubted his alchemy talent, but he would also never be arrogant and conceited.
Back then, in Cloudmarsh City, he fought fiercely for several thousand matches. It was not in order to deliberately show off his talent but to learn widely from others' strong points.
And after that, he indeed learned a lot from other people. His alchemy strength also improved at a tremendous pace.
Coming to Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital this time, his goal was also the same.
As for Luo Yue those people, they were not worth mentioning at all in Ye Yuan's eyes. He naturally could not be bothered to take action.
What's the point of making a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse and a Celestial Deity martial artist discuss about Martial Dao.
Wanting to converse with Ye Yuan as equals, they needed to be at the middle-stage Dao Realm at the very least.
Ning Siyu hesitated and said, "But these people are clearly harboring ill-intent!"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Want to make things difficult for me, they at least got to reach Brother Flutterfeather's strength too. Just the likes of them aren't qualified enough."
By the side, Ning Siyu had a besotted appearance.
This calm confidence seemed played down, but actually, that sort of might was established on the foundation of countless victories.
This kind of imposing momentum was even stronger than that kind of imposing momentum which showed disdain on all under the heavens.
And this kind of man naturally attracted women even more.
But Ning Siyu had long given up on this thought. She knew that His Excellency had fetters in his heart.
The current Ning Siyu was already very satisfied. As long as she could stay by His Excellency's side like this, she was already very satisfied.
...
"Halt! Qiandan Pavilion is Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital's important place. Miscellaneous personnel is not to enter!"
Ye Yuan came to a tall multi-storeyed pavilion according to the address and was immediately stopped by a Ninth Firmament True God powerhouse. His words were full of warning.
A Third Firmament True God dared to run here, was there a problem with his head?
Ye Yuan took out the invitation and said coolly, "Empyrean Lumen issued the invitation to me, written on it is this address. It should be correct, right?"
Seeing the invitation, the Ninth Firmament True God's face changed, using suspicious eyes to size Ye Yuan up.
Why would Empyrean Lumen invite a True God Realm here?
Opening the invitation to take a look, the Ninth Firmament True God's pupils constricted and he cried out in surprise, "You … no … Your Excellency, you're Grandmaster Ye Yuan?"
"If there's no second Ye Yuan, it should be me." Ye Yuan took out his grandmaster token. The other party's expression instantly became incomparably awkward.
He hurriedly returned the invitation to Ye Yuan and said in fear and trepidation, "Your Excellency please don't blame this lowly one … This lowly one really didn't recognize Your Excellency!"
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, "Can I go in now?"
The Ninth Firmament True God squeezed out a smile that was uglier than crying as he said, "O-Of course!"
Looking at Ye Yuan's back view, he had an impulse of wanting to cry.
This Ye Yuan was seriously too confusing, being simply a massive pit.
Currently, there were also 8000 True God Realm martial artists in Cloudpill Great Imperial Capital if there weren't 10 thousand. Who knew that one of them was a grandmaster!
Entering Qiandan Pavilion, Ye Yuan directly entered a transmission array and entered an area of space.
There were already more than ten people in the space. They were gathered together, seemingly discussing something.
These people's auras were extremely strong. They were actually all Empyrean powerhouses!
Seeing Ye Yuan enter, the group of Empyreans immediately stopped discussing, looking toward Ye Yuan collectively.
Buzz!
One powerful aura after another came from head-on. More than ten Empyrean powerhouses, even if they did not release Empyrean pressure, this sort of imposing momentum was also not what a puny little True God Realm could withstand.
Among them were several gazes that were rather unfriendly.
"A mere True God Realm dares to barge into Qiandan Pavilion, are you tired of living?" An Empyrean stepped out, causing powerful aura crushing over toward Ye Yuan.
This person was none other than precisely Zheng Qiyuan.
He naturally knew that this one in front of him was Ye Yuan. This was deliberately taking Ye Yuan down a notch, wanting to see the appearance of Ye Yuan being frightened until he peed his pants.
Except, he was disappointed.
Ye Yuan stood there lazily just like that as if nothing happened.
What a joke! Empyrean Realm was powerful, but wanting to scare Ye Yuan just based on a bit of Empyrean pressure, Zheng Qiyuan was clearly thinking too much.
It was only to see Ye Yuan completely ignore Zheng Qiyuan. Sweeping a glance over everyone's faces, he opened his mouth and said coolly, "Which one is Brother Lumen, I'm Ye Yuan."
Seeing Ye Yuan's composed appearance, the group of Empyreans was all secretly surprised.
Forget about a Third Firmament True God, even if a Ninth Firmament True God entered here, they would not even dare to breathe loudly!
Let alone that Zheng Qiyuan even released his Empyrean pressure.
But Ye Yuan was not affected at a
ll.
This kid was not simple!
This was the first impression that Ye Yuan gave everyone.
Zheng Qiyuan stood there awkwardly as if he was making a fool of himself.
In the middle, a middle-aged man with a stern gaze opened his mouth and said smilingly, "Huhu, turns out that it's Grandmaster Ye! We're currently discussing an ancient formula and just happen to be at a loss. Grandmaster Ye came right on time and can give us a pointer or two."
As he said, he came forward in swift steps, pulling Ye Yuan to join everyone.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Dare not say give pointers. Everybody should discuss it a bit."
This attitude made the group of Empyreans frown endlessly.
This behavior seemingly made himself as someone in the same generation as the group of Empyreans.
Did this kid not have any score in his heart about how much capability he had? Did he really take himself to be a grandmaster?
Zheng Qiyuan had just suffered a loss and currently had nowhere to vent his fury. Hearing this, he could not help saying with a cold smile, "Heh, truly boasting shamelessly! You, a mere Third Firmament True God, don't even know if you can refine rank six divine pills or not, but you also dare to inquire about Seventh Firmament pill formulas?"
Calling Ye Yuan over, this idea was given by him
They were indeed also investigating the ancient formula. But this ancient formula was not that simple, they were also at a loss on what to do currently.
But Ye Yuan postured the moment he came up. He really was not treating himself as an outsider!
Chapter 2026 - Ancient Formula
Ye Yuan's brows raised slightly, and he looked at Zheng Qiyuan with a smile that was not a smile as he said, "Didn't Brother Lumen issue this invitation to me to invite me to come over and discuss together? Why? Can't I discuss it?"
Zheng Qiyuan could not help choking when he heard that, being asphyxiated by Ye Yuan badly.
At this time, another Empyrean spoke up to rebuke, "Insolence! You, a mere True God Realm, actually dare to call Brother Lumen brother, where's the sense of propriety?"
The other Empyreans deeply felt that way too, secretly nodding their heads.
