Could this guy be a fool?
On Sunset Peak, a wave of snickering also came over.
"Where did this guy pop out from? Ran all the way here from afar to seek death?"
"Heh heh, strength is decent, but his head isn't useful."
"In this world, I've yet to hear that in the same rank, someone dares to withstand an attack that fused three kinds of laws!"
… …
After a thousand years of growth, Lin Changqing was no long no longer his goal.
Lin Changqing's talent compared to Long Yuan was worlds apart.
Long Yuan was trampled underfoot by Ye Yuan, let alone Lin Changqing?
Killing Lin Changqing was merely a matter of snapping a finger.
Even if he really killed, Heavenly Emperor Fallen Maple also would not dare to say much.
But this place was the Bodhidharma that Li-er was at any rate. Furthermore, it looked like Li-er should have received considerable benefits in this place.
Even though Lin Changqing was Li-er's pursuer, he could tell that he had more of admiration toward Li-er and was not shameless like Long Hao.
If he really killed Lin Changqing, it would not be good for everyone, and it would also make things difficult for Li-er.
Therefore, Ye Yuan could not be bothered to kill him either.
However, Ye Yuan still wanted to let Lin Changqing know that not only was he, Ye Yuan, worthy of Li-er.
Furthermore, in this world, only he was worthy of Li-er!
Canceling the divine soul agreement, Lin Changqing was still somewhat in the clouds, feeling puzzled.
Could this guy really be a fool?
"Ye Yuan, have you thought carefully? If this sword of mine goes down, you'll die!" Lin Changqing said in a solemn voice.
Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself and said, "I'm just letting you take a look at how great the disparity between you and me is!"
Lin Changqing's gaze turned cold and he said in a cold voice, "Since you're bent on seeking death, I presume that Li-er won't blame me either! Bluecloud Truefeather Sword!"
One sword unleashing, three kinds of power of laws interweaved together, virtually slicing space apart.
The incomparably swift and fierce sword light slashed through the void and headed straight for Ye Yuan!
Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back. Facing this astonishing sword, his expression did not change and his heart did not race, without the slightest intention of avoiding.
Bang!
The void trembled, the earth shook.
But Ye Yuan was as stable as Mount Tai, not budging an inch!
Chapter 2180 - Repeated Blows!
On Sunset Peak, everyone's expression became extremely fascinating!
This move that was an attack sufficient to cleave apart mountains actually did not leave any traces on Ye Yuan's body!
Similarly a Second Firmament Empyrean, why would such a thing happen?
Only after a while did everyone came to realize the truth, cries of exclamations linking up.
"Really blinded my dog eyes! Martial Uncle Changqing wouldn't be intentionally going easy, right?"
"Facing a same rank opponent, no matter how weak the opponent, it's also impossible to be completely unscathed by standing there and letting the other party hit, right?"
"Martial Uncle Changqing fused three kinds of law powers. Even a Third Firmament Empyrean also wouldn't dare to forcefully resist his attacks, right?"
… …
Lin Changqing was a celestial figure in the eyes of these fellow sect members, an existence that they were unable to reach at all.
But today, Lin Changqing went all out and actually failed to leave behind any traces on his opponent's body.
This kind of impact was seriously too intense.
Lin Changqing had a blank face. Looking at the Ye Yuan who was proud and unmoving, he muttered, "That's impossible! This … How is this possible? Bluecloud Truefeather Sword actually can't even leave a mark on his body?"
His words were full of a bitter flavor.
At this instant, he truly experienced the disparity between him and Ye Yuan.
Even just now, when Ye Yuan reached Second Firmament Empyrean, he still had not despaired like so before.
He still felt that he could compete with him, and that he still had the right to speak as equals.
But at this very moment, the last of his pride was also crushed into pieces!
Ye Yuan was already powerful until it made him despair!
Suddenly, Ye Yuan raised his head to look at the sky and said coolly, "This brother, you watched the show for so long. Shouldn't you show yourself now?"
Everyone's expression changed and could not help looking around.
Sure enough, a middle-aged person slowly walked out of the void and lightly clasped his hands at Ye Yuan as he said, "Heavenly Emperor Fallen Maple's eldest disciple, Jun Mingxin, pays respect to the Priest Temple's Second Sage! Junior Apprentice Brother Changqing offended Second Sage; this emperor apologizes on his behalf! Many thanks to Second Sage for showing mercy!"
Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said coolly, "He's at any rate Li-er's senior apprentice brother too. On the account of Li-er's face, I spared his life, that's all."
Jun Mingxin smiled slightly and said, "Second Sage coming to Fallen Maple, our humble place is honored by your presence. Master is already waiting on the main peak. Second Sage, let us move now."
Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Alright, lead the way."
"Please!"
Jun Mingxing and Ye Yuan, one in front, one at the back, disappeared from Sunset Peak.
Murmur!
With this, Sunset Peak completely burst into an uproar.
"What did I see? Great Martial Uncle, an exalted Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, actually apologized to that young man?"
"What did Great Martial Uncle say? Second Sage? What's that?"
"Who the hell knows, but he's definitely an incredible existence! Otherwise, him being someone only at the Empyrean Realm, why would Great Martial Uncle treat him with such respect?"
… …
Everyone clamored to get a word in, all speculating Ye Yuan's identity.
But their levels were too low and could not come into contact with Second Sage this concept at all.
Lin Changqing stood transfixed on the spot. Until now, he still had not reacted to what was going on.
Zheng Yufeng went up and patted his shoulder, saying with a sigh, "Actually, until just now, I still wasn't willing to believe that he was the Priest Temple's Second Sage, an existence whose status is second only to the Sacred Ancestor High Priest! Even the 11 great disciples are all beneath him!"
Lin Changqing's entire body trembled, using a look of disbelief to look toward Zheng Yufeng.
He cultivated bitterly in closed-seclusion these few years and completely did not know about the outside world's affairs.
But the Priest Temple, Sacred Ancestor High Priest, as well as what kind of figures the Sacred Ancestor High Priest's 11 great disciples were, he was aware.
Ye Yuan actually lorded above the 11 great disciples!
How was this possible?
Was this Ye Yuan really the same person as the ant that he had once seen before at the imperial city?
Zheng Yufeng looked at Lin Changqing somewhat sympathetically. He knew how great the blow this time was to Lin Changqing.
When an existence whom you once viewed as an ant suddenly stood in front of you
And used a gaze that looked down from a height to look at you, and you did not have the slightest strength leftover to resist.
That kind of despair was truly unable to use words to describe.
Only using a thousand years' time, not only did Ye Yuan complete an all-round transcending in terms of strength, but in terms of status, he also completed a super magnificent transformation.
Even his master would likely have to show Ye Yuan some respect too, right?
After all, Second Sag
e was not merely a simple person!
The status signified that Ye Yuan was the Priest Temple's number two figure, being an existence that no one could blaspheme!
"Also, that sword earlier, he was able to remain perfectly unharmed. He likely cultivated the legendary perfect seventh transformation golden body! Furthermore … it doesn't seem to be just so simple! He said himself that he's also the Dragon Clan's Heaven Chosen Son!"
Zheng Yufeng could not quite bear to shoot down this junior apprentice brother, but some things, he had to let Lin Changqing know.
Because Lin Changqing's matters probably would not be left at this.
Ye Yuan not killing Lin Changqing, that was him being magnanimous.
But, Fallen Maple Bodhidharma provoked such a major god, could it be that it was left at that just like this?
Lin Changqing's gaze turned slack, he was virtually breaking down.
A thousand years later, the blow that Ye Yuan's transformation gave people was virtually catastrophic!
Heaven's chosen?
Truly laughable!
In front of such a monster, who dared to claim to be heaven's chosen?
Indeed, he and Ye Yuan were not people of the same world at all!
"These … These 1000 years, what in the world happened? O-Oh right, where's Junior Apprentice Sister Meng Li? Why didn't she appear?" Lin Changqing suddenly thought of something and asked.
Zheng Yufeng opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but then he swallowed the words back.
… …
Inside a great hall at the main peak, an old man sat up straight.
Ye Yuan followed Jun Mingxin and slowly walked in.
"Master, Second Sage has arrived!"
Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, "I pay respects to Senior Fallen Maple!"
Fallen Maple's gaze flickered slightly, and he said with a faint smile, "This emperor has long heard that Second Sage resolved the eternal chess game, Ask Not, and is the current generation's number one alchemy outstanding figure. I didn't expect that you were actually so young!"
Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Senior is too kind."
Fallen Maple was slightly surprised in his heart, Ye Yuan had no joy nor sorrow on his face. It was as if he was a deep chasm.
As a Heavenly Emperor, he actually could not quite see through this young man.
On Ye Yuan's body, there was not the slightest trace of a peerless heaven's chosen's wild arrogance, and also not the flippantness that a youngster should have.
Every movement and action was neither servile nor haughty.
Fallen Maple could not help sighing emotionally, Lin Changqing compared to Ye Yuan was like mud to cloud!
"Huh, Changqing this child was dotted rotten by this emperor, resulting in affronting Second Sage without regard to propriety. This emperor … apologizes for him!" Fallen Maple said with all smiles.
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed slightly. He kept feeling that something was not quite right.
Ever since entering Fallen Maple Bodhidharma, the commotion that he caused was not considered small. Even Fallen Maple was alarmed, so there was no reason for Li-er to not know!
Fallen Maple would not be unaware of his intentions for coming, but he used Lin Changqing's behavior to talk about things.
Something fishy!
"Senior Fallen Maple, I came for Li-er. I presume that you're also awake. I wonder where Li-er is at right now? This Ye wishes to meet her!" Ye Yuan said.
"This …" Fallen Maple's face revealed a look of difficulty.
Ye Yuan's heart tightened, and he said in a solemn voice, "What's wrong with Li-er?"
Fallen Maple knew that he could not hide it and said with a slight sigh, "Li-er she … went missing!"
Chapter 2181 - Move Aside!
"What? Went missing?"
Ye Yuan suddenly stood up, his eyes full of fury.
A horrifying aura surged to the sky, practically going to turn the entire hall upside down.
He went through countless hardsh.i.p.s and stood here, standing in front of Heavenly Emperor Fallen Maple, but the other party told him and Li-er went missing!
This result, he was somewhat unable to accept it.
When Fallen Maple and Jun Mingxin saw this scene, they also could not help being secretly startled.
Especially Jun Mingxin, only at this time did he know that when Ye Yuan was facing Lin Changqing previously, he did not use his full strength at all!
A Second Firmament Empyrean actually had such power.
"Second Sage don't get angry first. Please listen to this emperor explaining until the end," Fallen Maple slowly said.
Ye Yuan forcefully suppressed his fury and said in a solemn voice, "You say!"
Fallen Maple slowly stood up and said, "Follow me!"
As he said, he flicked his sleeves grandly and brought Ye Yuan into a room.
Upon entering the room, a pungent and nose-piercing smell hit him head-on.
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed, and he saw a person lying on the bed.
That person was unbearably rotten from head to toe, riddled full of holes, just like a cankered corpse.
When Ye Yuan looked over, he saw that that person's breathing was akin to gossamer, merely still hanging in there with one last breath.
By the side, a thin and emaciated old man was currently spraying dew on the person's body and turned a blind eye to the few people who just arrived.
Ye Yuan looked toward Fallen Maple, waiting for his explanation.
"He's called Zhuo Yuanzhi. He's this emperor's disciple. Ten years ago, Angry Nether River was cut off and Blackflame Cave emerged. The surrounding hundred great imperial capitals turned into dead cities. Everybody said that that's a Heavenly Emperor's cave abode, attracting countless powerhouses over. The surrounding seven great Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas around Blackflame Cave all sent people to investigate, but in the end … not a single one came out! The number of Empyreans that went missing was likely as many as hundreds!" Fallen Maple said with a sigh.
"Just a year ago, there were suddenly several people who escaped from Blackflame Cave. Junior Apprentice Brother Yuanzhi was one of them. It's just that after he returned to Fallen Maple Bodhidharma, his entire person fell unconscious. In this one year, Martial Uncle Tan Yi exhausted all kinds of means and was also unable to curb the decay of Junior Apprentice Brother Yuanzhi. At the rate of this situation, he probably can't last a month anymore." Jun Mingxin followed up.
Ye Yuan's brows furrowed slightly and he said unhappily, "Your Heavenly Emperor Bodhimandas have so many heavenly emperors, so why make a bunch of empyreans go and seek death?"
Jun Mingxin smiled bitterly and said, "Not that we weren't willing to go, but that the Blackflame Cave's entrance is extremely unstable. Forget about heavenly emperors, even if late-stage Empyreans were to pass through, the cave entrance would likely collapse at once! That way, there would really be no hope at all."
Pausing for a bit, Jun Mingxin continued, "You don't need to suspect anything. These few years, Master has always viewed Junior Apprentice Sister Meng Li in a different light. Her cultivation resources even make many junior apprentice brothers envious. But she's the little junior sister, and she's also pretty. So nobody haggled over these with her. The mission this time, Junior Apprentice Sister Meng Li also took the initiative to volunteer for it. But we did not expect that this kind of thing happened."
Hearing these, Ye Yuan finally calmed down slightly.
His gaze looked towards Zhuo Yuanzhi and he said in a solemn voice, "In that case, the crux lies with him?"
Fallen Maple nodded slightly and said, "If Yuanzhi can wake up, we should be able to know the events that happened inside Blackflame Cave."
Ye Yuan did not say another word, came beside Tan Yi, and said in a solemn voice, "Move aside!"
Tan Yi's brows furrowed and he said unhappily, "Where did this little rascal come from? To dare speak to this emperor like this?"
This Tan Yi was Fallen Maple's junior
apprentice brother, an Eight-star Alchemy God super existence!
But such a powerhouse was being ordered around by Ye Yuan, how could he not be enraged?
Except, the current Ye Yuan could not be bothered to talk crap with him at all, and he said in a solemn voice, "Orthodox Jade Illusory Dew can indeed revive the dead, but your medicine isn't matching the syndrome. Keep doing this and he'll be dead!"
Being shot down by a junior so mercilessly, Tan Yi's beard billowed.
But Ye Yuan being able to recognize the Orthodox Jade Illusory Dew at a glance still made him slightly surprised in his heart. He knew that Ye Yuan was a practitioner and definitely had extraordinary attainments in alchemy.
It was just that this brat being so wildly arrogant made him very displeased.
He snorted coldly and said, "Junior, this emperor has lived to this ripe old age and has never seen this kind of strange poison before! This Orthodox Jade Illusory Dew is already the most ideal prescription! Could it be that you still have a better option?"
Ye Yuan said coolly, "Therefore, please move aside!"
Tan Yi nearly choked to death from anger and was just about to fly off the handle, but then he heard Fallen Maple say, "Junior Apprentice Brother, this is the Demon Clan's Priest Temple's Second Sage, with his alchemy strength being unparalleled under the heavens! Perhaps … he can save Yuanzhi; who knows?"
Tan Yi's pupils constricted, only then, sizing Ye Yuan up seriously.
He had never heard before Second Sage, but the Priest Temple was very famous.
This brat was the number one person beneath Sacred Ancestor High Priest?
How was this possible?
"Second Sage? Heh heh, this emperor wants to take a look at how much ability the Priest Temple's Second Sage has!" Tan Yi said with a cold laugh.
Ye Yuan's current thoughts were not on him at all, he just said coolly, "You just watch and that will do."
Ye Yuan came in front of the bed and fired out a strand of chaos divine essence, entering into Zhuo Yuanzhi's body.
This wisp of divine essence circled five rounds within Zhuo Yuanzhi's body and also did not find where the slightest problem lay.
He only felt that Zhuo Yuanzhi's bodily functions were rapidly falling. An irresistible decaying energy seeped out of every pore on his body.
