How could the Sacred Ancestor High Priest be Medicine Ancestor's match?
If not for Ye Yuan taking part, this game of chess would merely be re-enacting the chess game back then.
Powerful Dao acc.u.mulations crushed over towards Ye Yuan. At this time, such a powerful force was like the last strand of straw that overwhelmed the camel's back; incomparably heavy.
"Hahaha … So what even if you're gifted? In the end, isn't it still death! Ye Yuan, see if you still don't die!"
Seeing this situation, Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun could not refrain from laughing out loud.
He held extremely deep grudges toward Ye Yuan. Although he was shocked by Ye Yuan's talent and strength, he wished that Ye Yuan would be wiped out by Medicine Ancestor.
Heavenly Emperor Zixu looked toward Ji Mo and said with a smile, "Lord Stardrive, this is the Lord Second Sage that you let us witness? That's right, he's indeed very impressive. But a dead Second Sage really lets people feel greatly consoled!"
Ji Mo just snorted coldly and did not say anything.
Concerning this round, he was not optimistic about it too.
The current Ye Yuan was too frail.
Ye Yuan's gaze became slightly sharp and he said in a cold voice, "What a fine Medicine Ancestor, really someone who is narrow-minded! Since that's the case, then I'll let you take a look at my true strength!"
Ye Yuan gave a cold snort, both hands in the position of holding a ball. An enormous Tai Ji diagram emerged behind Ye Yuan.
When Medicine Ancestor's Dao acc.u.mulations landed on Ye Yuan's body, it was immediately guided into the world by the Tai Ji diagram, repairing this world in an uninterrupted flow.
"Heaven and earth are divided into Yin and Yang; Yin and Yang stabilize the universe! Medicine Ancestor, you watch closely! This is my, Ye Yuan's, Dao! Stabilize for me!"
Ye Yuan turned his palm. The Tai Ji diagram behind Ye Yuan slowly started turning.
This world of chess game actually gradually formed.
Ye Yuan's Great Dao aura actually completely overshadowed the two great sovereigns.
There was only a Tai Ji Yin Yang diagram remaining in this world.
Bang!
Ye Yuan's palm shook, the Tai Ji diagram dissipated with a loud bang.
Chapter 2127 - The Moment to Witness a Miracle!
"This is not possible! You … Just how did you do it?"
Inside the void, came Medicine Ancestor's astonished voice.
And just as the Tai Ji diagram dissipated with a loud bang, the entire Ask Not world emitted a dazzling light, and it actually started gradually contracting.
That endless world transformed into one thick cyclone after another and started drawing in.
The phantoms of the two great sovereigns also gradually started dissipating.
"Hahaha … the young ones are to be feared! The young ones are to be feared! After ten million years, there's finally someone that can take part in our two people's game of chess!" Although the Sacred Ancestor High Priest's figure started dissipating, he laughed loudly without ceasing.
Finally, the entire world turned into an enormous chessboard, it was precisely Ask Not!
Except, a heaven-shocking transformation already happened to the chess game on the chessboard currently.
"This … How is this possible?"
"A draw! It's actually a draw!"
"This Empyrean has once researched the Ask Not chess game in detail before. No matter how hard one works, it will always be the outcome of defeat in the end. So how is this possible?"
"A miracle! This is the moment of a miracle! I've witnessed the birth of a miracle!"
… …
The entire place was in shock. The outcome of this Ask Not chess game actually became a tie!
Those present were all major powers. So they naturally would not be unfamiliar with Ask Not.
This Ask Not chess game, the Medicine Ancestor who played white occupied a tremendous advantage. The Sacred Ancestor High Priest's declining trend already could not be salvaged.
Saying that it was an eternal chess game, it was actually Sacred Ancestor High Priest's defeat.
But now, the chess game on the chessboard was already totally different.
Black and white, two sides, each occupied half of the map.
Not a piece more and not a piece less.
The entire situation was extremely harmonious: there was you in me, me in you, and actually gave people a feeling of gladdening the heart and pleasing the eye.
Perfect!
This word sounded out in everyone's hearts at the same time.
Ji Mo looked at that chess game blankly and was speechless for a long time.
Such a scene truly came too shockingly.
To talk about the understanding of Ask Not, who could compare to him?
Or perhaps, who could beat Sacred Ancestor High Priest?
Sacred Ancestor High Priest had devoted himself to studying it and was also unable to crack this eternal game.
Presently, in Ye Yuan's hands, it actually transformed the rotten into the magical, reaching such a perfect and harmonious realm.
Ye Yuan perfectly outlined the Ask Not world with his own Dao, forming the present situation.
He was merely a Six-star Priest. So how did he do it?
"Hahahaha … Eternal game! This is the true eternal game! Turns out that Ask Not's final phase is actually like this!"
Above the void, Ji Mo laughed loudly without ceasing.
His mood had never been so free from inhibitions before.
Ask Not was the sore point of his master for tens of millions of years. Now, it was finally solved.
He knew that his master was definitely paying attention to this event. Right now, he must also be laughing heartily.
In this world, the most terrifying thing was not a powerful opponent, but the loneliness of an expert.
Now, his master finally found an Alchemy Dao sovereign that met his match. He must be very delighted and pleased.
"Zixu, did you find Second Sage's game satisfactory to the eyes?" Ji Mo looked toward Heavenly Emperor Zixu and said with a smile that was not a smile.
The Qilin Clan's powerhouses were long already dumbfounded.
Even if they did not understand alchemy, they also knew that Ye Yuan had accomplished a remarkable major thing.
This eternal game, Ask Not, the Qilin Clan also knew that this was the game between two great sovereigns.
This game was an eternal puzzle.
For tens of millions of years, no idea how many supreme powerhouses had attempted to solve this puzzle but failed to do so.
But now, it was solved by a measly little Six-star priest. How could they not be surprised?
It was solved!
Completely solved!
And not walked out of the chess game!
These two concepts were totally different.
For others, being able to protect themselves after entering the game and walking out of the puzzle safely was already a very impressive thing.
But Ye Yuan shattered the world that the two great sovereigns structured with a heaven-shocking will, and also refined the pill anew with Great Dao together with a great divine ability and the two people, building a perfect world.
This was a chess game and also a medicinal pill.
This kind of situation was simply fantastical.
Just based on this game, Ye Yuan's name could go down in history!
They had truly witnessed the moment of a miracle!
What was laughable was that they were still jeering and making cutting remarks before this, thinking that Ye Yuan was dead for sure.
But now, they had their faces slapped blatantly.
Being questioned, Heavenly Emperor Zixu's expression flickered incessantly, being very ugly.
Suddenly, Zixu clasped his hands and said to Ye Yuan, "The title of Second Sage lives up to reality as well as in name! Zixu has offended Second Sage previously, please pardon my
offense!"
No matter how unwilling he was to admit it, the moment this game ended, no one could treat Ye Yuan as a junior any longer.
He was a powerhouse that could genuinely compete with the two great sovereigns!
Perhaps his current strength was still weak, but in the future, he had limitless possibilities!
This point, no one was able to refute it.
Maybe another Medicine Ancestor would really appear again in this world.
Ye Yuan looked at Heavenly Emperor Zixu and said coolly, "Now, do you still want to take the Qilin Emperor Bone?"
Zixu's expression turned stiff and he said, "Not anymore! Second Sage, Lord Stardrive, Zixu takes his leave!"
After he was done talking, Zixu brought Shaoyun and the rest along, and they quietly withdrew.
They truly could not stay on in this place any longer. They also had no face to stay on.
Originally thought that Ye Yuan was just a junior, snatch then snatch.
But they discovered in the end that Ye Yuan was a future titan.
The actions previously simply became a joke.
"A miracle! Really miraculous!"
"I finally understand why Sacred Ancestor High Priest would confer him as Second Sage!"
"Seeing this game today, I can brag for 100 thousand years!"
… …
There was a series of marveling in the city. They felt honored to have witnessed the moment of miracle.
And those Priest Temple's Seven-star Priests had abashed looks on their faces.
Ye Yuan had once said to them that he was the opponent that Sacred Ancestor High Priest designated. At that time, they turned their noses up in contempt.
Now, they finally understood that what Ye Yuan said was not false!
Ye Yuan absolutely had the qualifications to become Sacred Ancestor High Priest's opponent!
In front of Ye Yuan, Sacred Ancestor High Priest's disciples appeared to be cast into the shade.
"Incredible! Truly too impressive! I … I want to take him as my master!" In the city, Long Xiaohai waved his hands about agitatedly. His complexion was flushed red.
"Hehe, I'm afraid that Ye Yuan will find you too stupid! Hang on, if you acknowledge him as master, wouldn't I become his junior? No way!" Long Xiaochun immediately denied it.
But Long Xiaohai ignored her and was still immersed in the midst of excitement.
He already completely became Ye Yuan's fan, his ardent worshiper.
Long Zhi who was by the side was also speechless for a long time.
He also did not expect that this young man was actually so heaven-defying.
"Second Sage, this emperor also has to apologize to you. Prior to this, I also had many suspicions about Second Sage. Now, I'm wholeheartedly convinced!" Ji Mo bowed in salute and said to Ye Yuan.
This bow came from the bottom of his heart.
Even following by Sacred Ancestor High Priest's side, Ji Mo also found it very hard to understand his master's actions and profound meaning behind them.
But today, he witnessed Ye Yuan's miracle and finally understood his master's painstaking effort.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "My realm is too low. Causing people to give birth to underestimation is normal. As for apologizing, there's no need. With High Priest Stardrive delivering Ask Not personally, this Ye is endlessly grateful."
Chapter 2128 - The Condition to Become a Supreme Powerhouse
"Ji Mo, how do you feel about the trip to Westspirit Region?" Sacred Ancestor High Priest looked at the Ji Mo in front of him and said with a smile that was not a smile.
With Ye Yuan clearing the hurdle, Ji Mo hastily bade farewell to Ye Yuan very quickly and returned to report to Sacred Ancestor High Priest on the mission.
At this time, Sacred Ancestor High Priest's 11 disciples were all present.
It was just that their expressions appeared somewhat awkward, especially High Priest Redplume.
Ji Mo blushed with shame. But thinking of Ye Yuan's soul-stirring Tai Ji developing Dao, he could not help revealing a look of admiration.
He bowed and said, "Master, Ji Mo is completely convinced! Second Sage is prodigious and is bound to be a big shot that shakes heaven and earth in the future!"
While talking, Ji Mo was very respectful.
When he mentioned Ye Yuan, it was actually like facing a senior.
If High Priest Stardrive's demeanor was seen by people, they would definitely be incomparably shocked.
Wing laughed loudly when he heard that and said, "You apprentice brothers few people have always been arrogant at heart and haughty in manner. Apart from Master, you've never submitted to anyone. I didn't expect that this time, you were actually subdued by Ye Yuan!"
Ji Mo smiled bitterly and said, "If not for seeing with my own eyes, Ji Mo finds it really hard to believe that there's actually such an alchemy rare talent in this world! Second Sage seems to be born for Alchemy Dao. A short thousand over years and he can actually spy right at the source of Great Dao. It truly makes people sigh with admiration!"
The event during this half a year, Ji Mo felt as if it was right in front of his eyes.
Each finger that Ye Yuan pointed out seemed to have the effect of shocking the soul.
Wing smiled and looked towards High Priest Redplume and said, "Yan Hui, do you … still have resentment in your heart now?"
High Priest Redplume's expression was slightly red as he bowed and said, "Replying master, Yan Hui … is convinced! It's just, Yan Hui doesn't understand why he, a Six-star priest, can actually do it to this step?"
Wing put away his smile and said, "Actually, this performance also made Master incredibly shocked! About this Ask Not chess game, Master has researched for tens of millions of years and was unable to achieve fusing Dao into one, but … he did it! Looks like the day of my showdown with him isn't far already!"
Letting Ji Mo bring Ask Not over, what Wing expected was not for Ye Yuan to break the deadlock.
Even if he sealed 50% of the power, breaking the deadlock was also not what Ye Yuan's bit of strength could accomplish.
But Ye Yuan's performance far exceeded his expectations.
Ye Yuan actually solved the puzzle of tens of millions of years and created a new world.
Such a result shocked the world.
It naturally also included him, Sacred Ancestor High Priest.
"Could it be that his understanding of Alchemy Dao already surpasses Master?" Yan Hui said in puzzlement.
Wing shook his head and said, "Surpassing master is naturally impossible. Him being able to complete such a heroic feat actually has elements of gaining advantage through trickery. But he has already taken his own Dao path. That's the most crucial thing!"
"His own Dao path?" The disciples were all uncertain.
Wing slowly nodded and said, "Back then, when you all challenged the Ask Not chess game, you were all willing to be chess pieces, playing chess with Medicine Ancestor under Master's manipulation. This is also to say that you all are walking according to the path that Master designated. Therefore, even if tens of millions of years have passed, the path that you all have taken is also merely a branch of master's. Wanting to surpass Master is simply impossible! And looking at the Heavenspan World, sovereigns that can tide over Third Blight and above must have their own path(Dao)1."
When the group of disciples heard this, their facial expressions changed wildly.
This was their first time hearing the secret of becoming a sovereign powerhouse.
Wing's words stirred up tumultuous waves in their hearts.
For countless years, they revered Master as a god. But only today did they discover that turns out they merely walked Master's path.
"Master, this …" Eldest Disciple Splitfeather said in great shock.
Wing waved his hand and said, "Master knows what you want to say, but that's impossible! Unless you have the tremendous resolve to give up everything you possess now and start again anew!"
Spli
tfeather's expression flickered incessantly and finally turned into a long sigh.
Wing smiled and said, "Are you all blaming Master for only telling you guys this now?"
Splitfeather was terrified as he said, "D-Disciple dares not."
Their mouths said dare not, but did they really not have any thoughts in their hearts?
Wing naturally knew what they were thinking and said with a chortle, "Major powers that are Third Blight and above, how many do you think you can find in this Heavenspan World? From that moment when you all chose to submit inside Ask Not, your lifetime's path was also decided. Want to become a sovereign, perseverance, willpower, talent, not one can be lacking! You all ask yourselves. If you guys are given a chance to redo it again, can you achieve Ye Yuan's level?"
The group of apprentice brothers exchanged glances. In the end, they actually lowered their heads without any prior agreement.
The answer was clearly no.
They understood Ask Not too well!
Not submitting, it was death!
The will of a sovereign, they could not resist it at all.
But Ye Yuan could!
During these tens of millions of years, only Ye Yuan alone replaced the Sacred Ancestor's will when challenging Ask Not, and he played a game of chess against Medicine Ancestor.
Just this point, they were already unable to surpass.
As for challenging Ask Not the second time, Ye Yuan rose up heaven-defyingly, contending with the pinnacle will of two great sovereigns with his power alone. This was even more inconceivable.
They were thrown even further behind until they could only see the dust ahead.
Hence, Ye Yuan could become Second Sage, while they could not!
Wing's meaning was very simple. Their talents and will were insufficient to become a supreme powerhouse.
Being able to have today's accomplishment was already a great fortune.
There were many geniuses in this world. But those truly able to tread out their own path and become a supreme powerhouse, were extremely, extremely few.
"Walking other people's path is easy! Taking your own path is as hard as ascending to heaven! For Master being able to walk till today, how can the experiences involved be what you all can imagine? For Ye Yuan to be able to have such accomplishments at a young age, his story is likely even more exciting than the vast majority of this Heavenspan World's supreme powerhouses!" Wing said.
