Chapter 129: Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword: Nine Swords Stance!

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

"Oh? Mistaken? I want to hear just how I'm mistaken."

Chen Jieqiu felt that Ye Yuan was very humorous. A Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm racked his brain to make them brothers kill each other not for escaping. Could it be that it was for killing them all?

But the reality was so!

"In truth, when I first took out the Canghua Sword, I just wanted to test the bonds between you brothers. But I didn't think that the result would give me such a shock and amazing effect. The reason why I spent so much effort to foment you all was that I wasn't confident in killing all of you simultaneously. It's still best for lesser people to know about the matter concerning the spirit artifact," Ye Yuan smiled and said.

"Haha! Truly unaware of the immensity of heaven and earth! Do you mean that the four of us combined aren't your match?" Chen Jieqiu felt like he had heard a hilarious joke.

Ye Yuan nodded in acknowledgment. "That's right. It's exactly so."

"You truly have no idea of death or danger. Do you think that by having a spirit artifact, you can cross a major realm and fight me? I do want to test whether a Dan Wu Academy's genius student has real ability or is just a fool who can only brag!" Chen Jieqiu was infuriated by Ye Yuan's attitude.

Having frequently walked along the borders of life and death, Chen Jieqiu's strength was very formidable!

Forget about Essence Qi Realm martial artists, even among Third Level Spirit Condensation Realms, he belonged to the strong type.

Of course, compared to the sort of strength among the Dan Wu Academy's Martial Roll's experts, it was still lacking too much.

"Hur hur, don't worry. You'll see it right away."

The instant his words fell, Ye Yuan's entire aura transformed as if his entire being turned into a sharp sword.

As if sensing the sword intent coming off of Ye Yuan's body, the Canghua Sword actually started to tremor in Ye Yuan's hand!

The reason why spirit artifacts were called spirit artifacts was that they possessed spirituality.

This sort of spirituality was not that they developed consciousness, but that they could produce a certain degree of resonance with the martial artist.

This sort of resonance could increase the martial artist's strength. It was precisely because of this that spirit artifacts were stronger than magic artifacts and precious artifacts!

Seeing Ye Yuan's transformation, color instantly faded from Chen Jieqiu's face and what replaced it was solemnness.

No matter how he thought, he could not have expected that a mere Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm could release such a formidable sword intent!

Chen Jieqiu finally understood why Ye Yuan was not in a hurry to escape.

He did not even need to run!

Such a powerful sword intent truly had the might to threaten him.

"This is my first time executing Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art. You're the first person to see it. You should feel honored!" Ye Yuan held his sword and pointed to Chen Jieqiu as he spoke.

On the Nine Heavens Road, Ye Yuan fused together the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art and his own Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword, the two sword intents, and named it Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art.

The Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art might be strong, but it required sword moves to display.

With intent but no moves, a rootless weed. With moves but lacking intent, flashy without substance.

Ye Yuan's outlook was extremely high. He deeply understood the logic that what suited oneself was the best.

Hence, he did not think to go to the Tranquil Cloud Sect to learn the Azure Dipper Purple Yang Sword Art's sword moves but chose to create his own style!

Creating styles was not something fun to do. Learning other people's things was already extremely, tremendously challenging; let alone creating one.

Those who could self-create styles were undoubtedly all peerless prodigies.

Only Ye Yuan dared to play like this.

But due to time constraints, Ye Yuan only completed the embryonic form of the first move.

"Humph! No matter how powerful your sword intent is, without the support of essence energy, how much power can it have? I don't believe that you, a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, can really kill me!" Chen Jieqiu snorted coldly.

"Five Ghost Mourning Soul Blade! Kill!"

Chen Jieqiu decided to take the initiative. The moment he made a move, it was a killing blow.

Five Ghost Mourning Soul Blade was the skill Chen Jieqiu became famous for. He had been developing this martial art for nearly ten years. One could say that he mastered it to perfection.

When the blade slashed out, a weeping sound suddenly cried out akin to ghost wailing and wolves howling. It actually had the effect of absorbing souls!

This martial technique was extremely powerful. The average martial artists would succumb to it the instant they got careless.

But sadly, Chen Jieqiu met Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan comprehended Heart Like Still Water on the Nine Heavens Road. This sort of soul absorbing had no effect at all to him.

And right then, Ye Yuan's sword stance was already completed.

"Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art, First Stance, Nine Swords Stance!"

Ye Yuan gave a low cry and transformed into nine silhouettes!

Nine Ye Yuans struck with their swords simultaneously and unleashed nine streaks of azure-colored sword beams!

The nine streaks of sword beams were released later, but arrived first, enveloping Chen Jieqiu completely.

Chen Jieqiu was greatly alarmed. How could he be bothered to hack Ye Yuan anymore? He swiftly drew his blade to defend.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

A series of metal striking sounded out. Chen Jieqiu was in a flurry before barely blocking the sword beams.

Chen Jieqiu was well-deserved for being a Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm expert. These nine streaks of sword beams were executed using the Canghua Sword. Its might was extremely formidable. He actually blocked the majority of it.

However, there was still a streak of sword beam which breached his defensive circle and punched through his left arm without mercy!

"Ahhh!" Chen Jieqiu cried out miserably and clutched his left arm agonizingly.

The flesh on his left arm was minced. Clearly, it was already crippled.

Chen Jieqiu was worthy of being a veteran. After suffering a hit, he shot towards the outer areas with extreme speed without saying anything. He was actually fleeing.

Evidently, he was already completely certain that he was absolutely not Ye Yuan's match. Escaping with his life was of paramount importance!

However, Ye Yuan obviously would not give him that chance. Practically the instant he turned around to escape, Ye Yuan kept away the Canghua Sword and pointed with his left finger!

Absolute Yang Finger!

This was already the Great Circle stage Absolute Yang Finger. Its killing might was absolutely astounding!

Chen Jieqiu also did not expect Ye Yuan to react so quickly. This finger's speed was incredibly fast. There was simply no time to defend.

Puchi!

With that sound, an intangible force directly pierced through Chen Jieqiu's calf.

"Arghhh!" Chen Jieqiu gave another wretch sounding cry and then collapsed on the ground.

"I already said that none of you will escape. How can I give you the chance to flee?" Ye Yuan went forward a few steps and said calmly.

Chen Jieqiu disregarded the pain from his arm and leg and quickly scramble over to kneel in front of Ye Yuan. He cried out miserably, "Mercy, Little Brother! I, Chen Jieqiu, have eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai! I've offended little brother! I deserve to die! I deserve death! As long as Little Brother spare my life, I'm willing to work like a bull and a horse for you!"

But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "I think that you brothers have all committed countless crimes, right? Killing you all counts as executing justice on behalf of heaven. A bull or a horse like you, I dare not accept! Go in peace."

Finishing, he directly removed Chen Jieqiu's head without giving him the slightest chance.

Ye Yuan did not have any pity at all towards these sort of human dregs.

Recalling the scene when he displayed the Nine Swords Stance just now, Ye Yuan frowned and murmured to himself, "The Nine Swords Stance can still be perfected. The might of this nine streaks of sword beams is unbalanced. Unleashing the sword was also unharmonious. There still some time lag."

Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed. Clearly, he was very dissatisfied with that strike just now.

Right then, a feeble voice was heard.

"Y-Young Hero, I b-beg you . . . Save me."

Chapter 130: I Give Senior Apprentice Sister a Hundred Years of Youth

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

Ye Yuan looked over, and it turned out to be Old Third of the Southern Ridge Four Heroes.

His arm was hacked off by Chen Jieqiu, and the blade carried deadly poison. Right now, the poison already spreading throughout his body.

The antidote had always been under Chen Jieqiu's charge, which was why he left Old Third alone.

Southern Ridge Old Third had no time to be astonished by Ye Yuan's prowess. But he recalled Ye Yuan ate a Detoxification Pill, and the result was that the Hundred Breaths Collapse was utterly useless.

Only Ye Yuan could save him now!

Ye Yuan gave Southern Ridge Old Third a pitiful look and said, "Disasters from the heaven can be withstood, but the evils we bring upon ourselves are the hardest to bear. Since you all thought of robbing others, you should have been mentally prepared to be killed. Furthermore, to be able to die at the hands of your own brothers, you can die in peace."

Earlier, Ye Yuan was watching coldly from the sidelines and had long seen that none of the four people were good.

Ye Yuan was not some fresh rookie, so he obviously would not make this kind of low-level mistake.

Seeing Ye Yuan about to leave, Southern Ridge Old Third panicked and quickly called out. "Young Hero, I . . . I have important intelligence. 1 I . . . I only ask that Young Hero save my life."

Ye Yuan could not be bothered with that fellow. He collected the storage rings left behind by those people.

Even though he did not hope to find good stuff from these guys, at any rate, it was his loot.

"Young hero, I . . . I really have important intelligence! A few days ago, we passed by the Lotus Moon Gorge and discovered that the demonic beasts around the canyon were causing a commotion and rushing towards the depths of the canyon. There must be some natural treasure being born!" 2

Southern Ridge Old Third feared that Ye Yuan would really leave, so he simply said it out.

But Ye Yuan sneered when he heard it. "With such a natural treasure, why didn't you guys go? How can a natural treasure, which caused a collective upheaval of demonic beasts, be ordinary? I'm afraid that you baiting me to go to the Lotus Moon Gorge isn't something as simple as saving you, right?"

"I . . . when did I, Y-Young Hero." Facing Ye Yuan's compelling gaze, Southern Ridge Old Third faltered.

He did not think that Ye Yuan had such a mature mind at such a young age.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Fine then. To let you die in peace, I promise that I'll definitely go to the Lotus Moon Gorge. Since you still want to play mind games with me on your deathbed, then don't blame me."

Finishing, Ye Yuan smacked his palm down on the top of Southern Ridge Old Third's head.

"Y-Young Hero, mercy! Ahhh!"

Following a blood-curdling scream, Southern Ridge Old Third died.

Although the Southern Ridge Old Third revealing this news was his dying throes, one had to admit that he coincidentally struck Ye Yuan's weak point.

As an alchemist, Ye Yuan truly did not have any immunity towards natural treasures. He would not give up until he went to see it.

After settling the business here, a blue-clothed figure fluttered over. Who could it be but Feng Zhirou?

When Feng Zhirou came close, she stabbed towards Ye Yuan with her sword wordlessly.

Ye Yuan hurriedly dodged and cried out, "Senior Apprentice Sister, I have something to say!"

"Say your head! Have a taste of my sword first!" How could Feng Zhirou listen? With a wave of her hand, she struck with her sword again.

Although Feng Zhirou's sword looked vicious, in truth, she did not use killing moves.

Ever since nearly killing Ye Yuan previously, Feng Zhirou more or less learned her lesson.

And the current Ye Yuan was no longer someone she could casually flatten with a sword. Of course, Ye Yuan naturally could not retaliate. He was in the wrong in the first place.

"Senior Apprentice Sister, I did that all for you! Ahh!"

While he was talking, another sword struck. Ye Yuan cried out and swiftly evaded.

"For me? Sounds really nice! Do you know how much effort I spent to shake off that big stupid bear? Enough crap. Eat my sword!"

Feng Zhirou was played by Ye Yuan and even had no choice but to help him draw away the Iron Paw Flying Bear. Her heart had so much pent-up anger.

"You stop first alright, Senior Apprentice Sister? Aiya, hear me explain things carefully!" Ye Yuan said while dodging.

"What's there to explain? Stand still for me and eat my sword first before we talk!"

How could Feng Zhirou be willing to give in?

The two people, one chasing, and the other fleeing. In a blink of an eye, over a dozen sword strikes were unleashed, but Ye Yuan just refused to stop,

Ye Yuan was also chased until he became irritated. He suddenly halted and shut his eyes to let Feng Zhirou freely stab over.

Feng Zhirou also did not expect Ye Yuan to suddenly play this move. She instantly jumped in fright. If this sword landed, how could Ye Yuan survive?

Ye Yuan had given a lot of help to them aunt and niece. Feng Zhirou did not say it, but her heart was still rather grateful.

Chasing down Ye Yuan was just to vent her anger, not to really hurt him,

Ye Yuan's action came too suddenly. Feng Zhirou simply could not react. Withdrawing her sword at this time was already too late.

But, Feng Zhirou was a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm expert at any rate. Her control towards the sword already reached an extremely powerful level, and she managed to change the trajectory of the sword mid-path.

This sword barely shaved by Ye Yuan's ear with immense trepidation.

But right then, Ye Yuan's face and Feng Zhirou's face was practically plastered together.

Ye Yuan had his eyes shut, and Feng Zhirou's exhalation smelled like orchids, unintentionally affecting Ye Yuan's mind.

Feng Zhirou's pretty face went red first before taking a step back and yelling, "Are you mad, Ye Yuan? Do you know how dangerous that was just now?"

Ye Yuan opened his eyes and suddenly cracked a smile. "If not like this, Senior Apprentice Sister won't give up! I know Senior Apprentice Sister cares for me and definitely won't kill me."

"Don't give me that! Don't think I dare not kill you!" Feng Zhirou raised her sword again, but threatening again at this time appeared to be so weak and frail.

Ye Yuan chuckled and pushed the sword aside. "Senior Apprentice Sister, if you want to kill me, you have to at least let me finish what I have to say first."

Feng Zhirou kept away her sword and snorted. "Fine! I'll hear just what you have to say! But if you don't give a justifiable reason, you can walk the rest of the way yourself!"

Finishing, Feng Zhirou was so peeved that she turned around.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I give Senior Apprentice Sister a hundred years of youth. Is Senior Apprentice Sister still satisfied . . . with this explanation?"

When Feng Zhirou heard those words, the anger on her face swiftly faded, and what took its place was curiosity.

She turned around and curiously asked, "What hundred years of youth? Say clearly!"

Ye Yuan laughed and explained the function of the Silver Sword Bee's honey.

Feng Zhirou instantly became elated when she heard that. Clutching Ye Yuan, she asked, "Is what you said true? That whatever Beauty Retaining Pill can really maintain my appearance for a hundred years without aging?"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "A hundred years is just the beginning. If I perform above my usual standards and refine out a transcendent-grade Beauty Retaining Pill, then a hundred and fifty years is not an issue. Furthermore, not only can the Beauty Retaining Pill let you maintain your current appearance, it can even moisturize your skin, making it fairer than snow!"

"Really? Then doesn't that mean that I'll look even better than now?" Where was there still any demeanor of a proud daughter of heaven presently on her? Feng Zhirou looked just like a little girl ignorant of worldly affairs.

However, she could not be blamed for this. As long as one was a woman, regardless of how unparalleled her martial arts was or what a peerless beauty she was, they would still place a heavy emphasis on their appearance.

Feng Zhirou was only a mortal country's little princess. In the future, she would surely grow old.

Growing old like that was the most frightening thing for every woman. It was even more terrifying than dying. Hence, they would risk their lives to try and delay the coming of that day.

Chapter 131: Despondent Sieging Team

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

Somewhere several hundred miles away from Ye Yuan and Feng Zhirou, four Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists were currently sieging a powerful lion type demonic beast.

"Damn fellow! Chang One, attack its eyes! Chang Two, Chang Three, let's go and hold it back!" a youth commanded the other three people.

"Yes, Young Master!"

The trio acknowledged in unison.

This lion type demonic beast was exceptionally powerful. It was already at the peak middle-stage Tier 2. It was already not far away from breaking through to the late-stage Tier 2.

The four people actually appeared to be straining to deal with this demonic beast together!

Following that youth's command, the other three people coordinated abnormally well, akin to one entity.

Chang One leaped and landed on the head of the lion type demonic beast. The demonic beast naturally would not give this fellow free rein to threaten it. It raised its paw wanting to grab at Chang One.

How could the other three give him this chance? Attacks akin to rain falling struck towards the lion type demonic beast's abdomen.

After all, these were three middle-stage Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists. No matter how strong this demonic beast's defense was, it dared not let this sort of attack go unchecked.

With no alternatives, that demonic beast retracted its paw and went from attacking to defending.

But at this time, Chang One grabbed hold of the opportunity and pulverized that demonic beast's eye into mincemeat.

Seeing the situation, the four people were euphoric. A series of attacks raided on the demonic beast again, directly sending it flying out.

That demonic beast received heavy injuries. Not only did it not retreat, but it also went berserk.

"Roar!"

The lion type demonic beast gave a heavy roar and attacked the four people frenziedly.

"Be careful! This is its death throes! Don't fight it head-on! Let's hit and run to slowly expend its strength. It can't hold on much longer!" the youth instructed.

"Yes, Young Master."

In reality, these three people were veterans. They also knew what to do without the young man's instructions.

Before long, that lion type demonic beast collapsed on the ground. The four people let out a long sigh of relief.

When the demonic beast died, the four slumped on the ground panting non-stop. They all suffered injuries which were not light.

"Damn it! Being delayed by this demonic beast, we are getting further away from Ye Yuan!" The young man swallowed a medicinal pill as he gnashed in teeth in hatred.

This youth was precisely Su Yishan who was planning to kill off Ye Yuan during the Endless Trials, while the other three were the Su Family's retainers, the Chang trio brothers.

There were many people when they just entered the forest, so they naturally could not make a move on Ye Yuan then.

But who would have thought that Ye Yuan and Feng Zhirou walked faster and faster. They were actually unable to catch up.

It was not that their speed was slow, but because there were demonic beasts continuously harassing them along the way.

This demonic beast just now was the most powerful one they have encountered. Just the delay cost them a whole two hours!

"Relax, Young Master. My Enchanted Shadow Bug has been following them this whole time. We'll catch up to them eventually." Chang One said.

Su Yishan was aware of Chang One's tracking capabilities. It was just that he was feeling very annoyed. "I'm just wondering why the demonic beasts only attack us when Ye Yuan also walked through here."

"This . . . Maybe it's also because we're unlucky," Chang One said uncertainly.

Even with Chang One's rich experience, he could not think of a reason.

"Luck? Isn't their luck way too good? We tracked all the way here, and the places they walked through didn't show any traces of fighting at all! That's to say that they didn't even go through a single battle while we have been through over a dozen big and small fights?"

The more Su Yishan said, the angrier he got. Finally, a punch smashed heavily on the ground sending dirt flying.

"Truly quite sinister! The road the two of them walked is basically a straight line as if they were running straight towards someplace. But in the Endless Forest, nobody had ever dared to journey like that. There are plenty of high-rank Tier 2 demonic beasts' territories along the way. If they accidentally startled them, they would lose a layer of skin even if they didn't die." Chang one also felt very depressed.

"That's right! Don't tell me that those demonic beasts are all blind and deaf and simply couldn't sense them at all? At this rate, we will be exhausted to death by these demonic beasts before finding them!" Su Yishan said with fervent hatred.

Initially, he thought that killing Ye Yuan in the Endless Forest was a very simple matter. He did not think that it would be riddled with troubles now.

The further in they went, the stronger the demonic beasts got! Continuing in a straight line like this was definitely out of the question. They must avoid the territories of those powerful demonic beasts and go forward in a roundabout manner.

But this way, when could they manage to find Ye Yuan and co?

Before coming, Su Yubai already told him that the Endless Forest was the best as well as the final chance to eliminate Ye Yuan.

If Ye Yuan left the Endless Forest, the Su Family would welcome never-ending troubles!

Chang One also realized that the matter was rather troublesome now. Before coming out this time, the family head had already issued the death command. They must kill Ye Yuan!

If the mission was not completed, then carry their own heads back!

The family head had never issued such a command before. One could see just how great Ye Yuan's threat to the Su Family was!

Chang One sucked in a deep breath and took out an Endless Forest map from his storage ring. Opening it, he placed it in front of Su Yishan.

"Young Master, continuing like this is indeed out of the question. Since they are hurrying towards a certain place, why don't we find that place and then lie in ambush there?" Chang One suggested.

Hearing this, Su Yishan immediately calmed down. He nodded and said, "What you said is right! Share your idea!"

Chang One reached out with his finger and pointed on the map. "Look here, Young Master. Ever since they entered the Endless Forest, they didn't stop for a moment as they went along this straight line towards the North-West direction. With their strength, it's impossible to go somewhere too deep. It must be within an area of a thousand miles! Then, inside this thousand miles, where is the place they are most likely to go to?"

"Crimson Summit Ridge!" Su Yishan blurted out.

Chang One's finger started from the entrance and kept extending until a thousand miles in the North-West direction. That place impressively marked Crimson Summit Ridge!

"Sii . . . Is Ye Yuan insane? To actually go to such a dangerous place like Crimson Summit Ridge!" Su Yishan sucked in a cold breath.

Chang One shook his head and said, "Based on common sense, him going to the Crimson Summit Ridge naturally saves us from striking. But looking at the current situation, this Ye Yuan's methods are really hard to conjecture. Ignoring other things, just based on him being able to not alarm these high-rank demonic beasts along the way is already an incredible ability! And according to my estimation, it's highly likely that he's going to the Crimson Summit Ridge to find some medicinal herbs for that little maidservant of his!"

Chang One's analysis struck deeply, practically exactly the same as the truth!

Since they came to gang up and kill Ye Yuan, Chang One naturally did sufficient homework. He understood Ye Yuan very thoroughly. Even a minute detail like Lu-er was noticed.

Su Yishan was forcefully shocked awake and could not help shooting a surprised gaze at Chang One, seeing him in a completely new light.

No wonder Father sent him to siege Ye Yuan. This guy could not be underestimated!

Very clearly, Chang One's analysis basically had no flaws. This was also the most logical explanation!

Initially, Su Yishan was still worried about whether or not Ye Yuan would take part in this Endless Trials. Finally, his concern was proven to be superfluous.

Ye Yuan was not foolish enough to think that he could spare him. But he still came. That meant that he had a reason to come no matter what!

And this reason was exactly Lu-er!

Chapter 132: Swaggering In!

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

"Then, what do you say we do now, Chang One?" Su Yishan actually sought for Chang One's opinion.

Chang One also appeared to be rather surprised. He understood this Young Lord a little.

Su Yishan had an ingrained pride and generally looked down on the Su Family's retainers like them.

But today, he actually sought out his opinion.

It looked like Su Yishan matured quite a bit during this period of time!

Only such a Su Yishan was worthy of being the Su Family successor.

Chang One no longer hesitated and stated his thoughts, "Regardless whether or not they went to the Crimson Summit Ridge, there is definitely a destination. And I'm afraid that it isn't going to be so easy for them to get that medicinal herb. We just have to chase after according to the direction the Enchanted Shadow Bug is pointing to and set up an ambush in advance. I figure he wouldn't be able to escape anyway! Let's keep heading towards this direction while avoiding some of the powerful demonic beasts' territories later on. This way, even if we detoured a little, it would at most be around half a day's time. We can definitely still make it!"

Su Yishan ruminated for some time and felt that what Chang One said made sense.

They were unaware of Ye Yuan's goal at the beginning, so they just blindly chased. In the end, the time delay from being impeded by demonic beasts increased instead.

Since they have the direction now, they naturally need not fear them escaping. Circling around the powerful demonic beasts' territories might even be slightly faster.

"Okay, we'll do as you said! Recuperate a while first and then set off!" Su Yishan instructed.Ye Yuan had settled things with Feng Zhirou. The pair swallowed another Breath Concealing Pill each and rushed over to the Crimson Summit Ridge.

"Ye Yuan, were those four people all killed by you? You're actually already this powerful!"

Feng Zhirou was still rather astonished by Ye Yuan's power. Those were four Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists, and they actually all died in Ye Yuan's hands!

Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "How can I have such capabilities? I just used some small tricks and made them kill each other for a while. That's why the results were like that."

Only now did Feng Zhirou feel relieved. "So that's the case. Gave me a fright! If you could kill those four people alone, doesn't that mean that you already have the strength to rank in the top 30 of the Martial Roll?"

Initially, the ranking everyone gave Ye Yuan was roughly around rank 50 on the Martial Roll.

It was nothing difficult for this strength to defeat several ordinary Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists.

Feng Zhirou knew that the strength of demonic beast hunters was greater than the average martial artist. Furthermore, there was a Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist among them. Ye Yuan was able to hold the four of them there. Raising another 20 places was nothing much.

Ye Yuan was only at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm!

Being at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, he already possessed the strength of the top 30 on the Martial Roll. When he broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, just how terrifying would that be?

Feng Zhirou felt that it was inconceivable just thinking about it.

Luckily, Ye Yuan denied her conjecture. Otherwise, Feng Zhirou would really have felt that so many years of hard work went to waste.

"You're really full of tricks! Several veterans were actually completely toyed by you!" After Feng Zhirou felt reassured, she could not help scorning Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan laughed and said, "Who asked this Junior Apprentice Brother, I, to be lacking in strength. If I didn't come up with some ruses, then wouldn't I be unable to even keep my life? Otherwise, Teacher Feng would not have made Senior Apprentice Sister come and protect me."

After pondering, Feng Zhirou thought the same as well, but her mouth stated otherwise, "Don't give me that. Your life is tenacious as hell. You didn't even die when challenging the Nine Heavens Road. Looks like even the heaven can't be bothered to take you in."

Ye Yuan laughed but did not reply.

What Feng Zhirou said was really true. Ye Yuan did not take the Nine Heavens Road to heart, but he was clearly already dead in the Divine Realm. But now, he was standing here perfectly fine. Ye Yuan felt that this was like a dream just thinking about it now.Around half a day later, Ye Yuan and Feng Zhirou finally arrived at the Crimson Summit Ridge.

This place was highly treacherous. Apart from the Long-arm Stone Apes, there were also quite a number of powerful demonic beasts around the Crimson Summit Ridge.

Demonic beast hunters had never dared to step foot fully into a place of such a level as the Endless Forest.

Even Crystal Formation Realm martial artists would move cautiously in this place. If they were surrounded by the Long-arm Stone Apes, the outcome would be being ganged up on and beaten to death.

The two found a safe place to hide and secretly observe the situation on the Crimson Summit Ridge.

It was fine if they did not look. But one look and Feng Zhirou freaked out.

Although the forest was very dense, the indistinct coming and going of white Long-arm Stone Apes appeared to be very glaring.

They walked around in groups of twos and threes, appearing as if they were patrolling!

"These Long-arm Stone Apes gathered and formed teams. Why does it look like they are patrolling the mountain?" Feng Zhirou looked at Ye Yuan somewhat surprised, as she transmitted her voice.

"The stone ape race have extremely high intelligence. Their awareness towards territory is already stronger than other demonic beasts. And their hierarchy is very strict, namely Ape Soldier, Ape General, and Ape King. Stone apes live in social groups and do not permit others to encroach into their terrain. The moment they discover that there's a trespasser, they would gather and attack," Ye Yuan explained.

Hearing Ye Yuan's explanation, Feng Zhirou asked in bewilderment, "No way? Since you're so familiar with the Long-arm Stone Ape's habits, aren't you courting death by coming to the Crimson Summit Ridge?"

Listening to Ye Yuan's meaning, the Long-arm Stone Apes had very strong exclusiveness and aggressiveness. Once they were discovered, they two of them would be in grave danger.

The so-called Ape Soldier, Ape General, and Ape King of the Long-arm Stone Apes, respectively corresponded to Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3.

Forget about the Ape Generals and Ape King, just the several tens of thousands of Ape Soldiers could drown them by rushing them.

Ye Yuan looked at Feng Zhirou and chuckled very helplessly.

Seeing Ye Yuan's laughter filled with mockery, Feng Zhirou flew into a rage again. "What are you laughing at? Did I say something wrong?"

Ye Yuan pointed at his head and said with a smile, "Why is the human race powerful? Not because we cultivate faster than the demon race nor is it because our bodies are better than the demon race, but because our intellect is way higher than the demon race! Hence, use your brain first before doing things and not just think about running or charging about recklessly, understood?"

"You mean that you have a plan? Then quickly say it! En? Hang on! Well done Ye Yuan, are you trying to say that I'm even dumber than demonic beasts?!"

Feng Zhirou reacted to it swiftly, and her rage meter shot straight up. However, she learned her lesson this time and did not make any sound, but spoke with voice transmission. Only that the expression on her face became increasingly ice-cold.

Ye Yuan sighed and said, "I say, Senior Apprentice Sister, can you not be so sensitive, alright? I'm just telling you a fact, but you just had to turn around and scold yourself. Why?"

"Humph! Don't be proud of yourself! Now isn't the time. Watch how I settle the score with you after we get back!" Feng Zhiroua snorted icily.

Facing the mountain full of Long-arm Stone Apes, the proud Senior Apprentice Sister Feng finally knew how to weigh things and not blow her top easily.

There was only one Iron Paw Flying Bear, so she could still lure it away. If they alarmed the mountain full of Long-arm Stone Apes, then the pair would not even get the chance to escape.

"Haha! Many thanks for Senior Apprentice Sister Your Excellency's grace!" Ye Yuan laughed and said.

"Enough crap! What method do you have to enter, quickly say it!" Feng Zhirou pent-up a stomach full of anger and said huffily.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "How to enter? Of course, it's by swaggering in!"

Chapter 133: Knowledge Is Power

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

"Swaggering in? Did your brain short-circuit? There are so many stone apes. How do we swagger in?" Feng Zhirou stared wide-eyed at Ye Yuan as if she was looking at a fool.

"Senior Apprentice Sister, please don't measure others after yourself, alright? I already said just now, you got to use your brain before doing things!" Ye Yuan gave another emotional sigh.

"You!"

Feng Zhirou's brows were vertical. This fellow actually ridiculed her again!

Fine, you're ruthless! But don't you know that women bear grudges very well? We'll record down the accounts this time one by one and tally it all up after we return!

"The Long-arm Stone Apes might be powerful, but they have a weakness, which is that they have virtually zero night vision abilities! And we have the Breath Concealing Pill. They can't detect our scent. Hence, just wait until it gets dark, and we'll just swagger in!" Ye Yuan explained.

"This also works?"

Feng Zhirou was thoroughly defeated by Ye Yuan. How did this fellow know so much?

Nobody even dared to come to the Crimson Summit Ridge. Even Crystal Formation Realm martial artists dared not stop here for long, let alone they understood the habits of the Long-arm Stone Apes.

"Why can't it work?" Ye Yuan retorted with a question.

"But . . . But didn't you say that the Breath Concealing Pill is only effective for demonic beasts below Tier 3? What should we do if we bump into the Ape King?" Feng Zhirou enquired.

"I've already enquired long ago that within a thousand miles radius of the Endless Forest, the highest is only Tier 3 demonic beasts. The Crimson Summit Ridge is still within the thousand miles radius. A mountain cannot contain two tigers. Hence, this place at most has a Tier 3 Ape King. Such a large Crimson Summit Ridge, just how lucky do we have to be to encounter the Ape King?"

Now that Ye Yuan said that, Feng Zhirou felt that there really did not seem to be much danger.

Such a dangerous looking place was actually as easy as walking on flat ground to Ye Yuan!

Of course, it was only like walking on flat ground for Ye Yuan. If it were some other person, they would have no idea how to refine the Breath Concealing Pill and would only seek their doom by coming here.

This fellow was truly a monster. It seemed like nothing could stump him!

Feng Zhirou was also a haughty and proud individual. She always felt somewhat unwilling to submit. Not knowing why she faintly looked forward to some situation to occur later up the mountain!

Who asked you to be cocky!A moonless dark night.

The faint breeze made the leaves rustle as two figures slowly headed for the Crimson Summit Ridge.

Although demonic beasts had greater vitality than humans, they are not tireless.

Currently, it was midnight, and most of the Long-arm Stone Apes headed back to the mountain to rest. It naturally would not be like daytime where ape shadows were aplenty.

Human martial artists' night vision abilities were quite strong. Even though they did not have the same range as daytime, nor was it as clear, seeing things within a small radius was still not an issue.

Furthermore, with a rise in realm, the changes that essence energy had towards martial artists' bodies would also become greater. The night vision abilities of human martial artists would become increasingly stronger.

Feng Zhirou and Ye Yuan walked towards the mountain unhurriedly in fear of alerting the Long-arm Stone Apes.

"The Crimson Summit Ridge is so huge. Where do we look for the Crimson Soul Grass?" Feng Zhirou suddenly transmitted her voice and asked.

"The summit!" Ye Yuan only said two words.

"What? The summit? There's a very high chance for that Ape King to be at the summit!" Feng Zhirou nearly made a sound.

"Can you not get all worked up over nothing? Why is this place called the Crimson Summit Ridge? Why is the medicinal herb called Crimson Soul Grass? Please use your brain, alright?" Ye Yuan said grumpily.

This woman had no use at all other than making a fuss over every little thing.

Being uncultured was truly frightening!

Seeing Feng Zhirou still having that blank look, Ye Yuan could only explain, "This place is called Crimson Summit Ridge because the mud at the summit is crimson in color. That sort of mud is called Crimson Xiang Soil, one of the extremely few soils which can breed the Crimson Soul Grass. However, the quantity of Crimson Xiang Soil on this Crimson Summit Ridge isn't a lot either. Just that small patch at the summit. Hence, for us to obtain the Crimson Soul Grass, we must go to the summit!"

Feng Zhirou did not know what to say either. This Ye Yuan was simply like an encyclopedia. He knew everything!

Only him with such broad and profound knowledge dared to barge into this Crimson Summit Ridge with Essence Qi Realm cultivation, right?

"What if . . . What if we bump into the Ape King at the summit? What should we do?" Feng Zhirou who was subdued by Ye Yuan suddenly had her momentum weakened considerably.

"How would I know? If we really come across it, then just drop everything and run! As for how far we can run, it will be up to our capabilities. Well, this is my affair, no need to drag you into this. Why don't you stay instead?" Ye Yuan said very irresponsibly.

"No way! I promised aunty to protect you. I can't watch you take risks alone!" Feng Zhirou was very resolute on the matter.

"Haha, then thank you so much, Senior Apprentice Sister. If we really run into the Ape King, to have a great beauty like Senior Apprentice Sister accompany me along the Yellow Springs, it's also a beautiful thing!" Ye Yuan laughed and said.

Feng Zhirou suddenly felt like she was duped. But the words already came out of her mouth, so she did not intend to take them back. She just rolled her eyes at Ye Yuan and said, "Enough crap, quickly go!"

Due to the fear of alerting the Long-arm Stone apes, the two walked very slowly. Only after two hours did they gradually fumbled their way to the summit with scares but without danger.

The summit was an open space. The Long-arm Stone Apes already cleared it out.

Arriving at the summit, there were many more night-patrol Long-arm Stone Apes. And from the looks of the aura coming off of their bodies, there were even quite a few Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes among them.

It looked like that Ape King was definitely on this summit.

"So many Long-arm Stone Apes. What to do?" Feng Zhirou asked rather anxiously.

Ye Yuan swept a gaze across this open field and transmitted his voice, "See that small hill in the distance? There's a cave up there. If my speculation is right, that Ape King should be inside that cave. In the entire summit, the place with the thickest Crimson Xiang Soil is on that small hill. The Crimson Soul Grass should be there!"

"Ah? Is-Isn't that very dangerous? Right now, we are at the summit. The moment we're discovered by the Ape King, then we won't even have the chance to escape!" Feng Zhirou said worriedly.

"Mm, it's indeed quite dangerous. But I also have to go no matter how dangerous it is! Without the Crimson Soul Grass, Lu-er definitely won't make it."

Seeing Ye Yuan risk his life for a maidservant, Feng Zhirou was also deeply touched.

Such an affectionate and faithful man, there really isn't many in this world!

Normally, Ye Yuan appeared to be cheeky and frivolous. But, when it really came down to the eleventh hour, he was highly reliable.

"Then, what should we do?" Feng Zhirou kept away her nervousness and resolved to cooperate with Ye Yuan to harvest the Crimson Soul Grass.

Ye Yuan observed for a while and then said, "Have you noticed that there aren't any Long-arm Stone Apes patrolling around the vicinity of that small hill?"

Feng Zhirou looked towards that small hill and found that that was really the case!

"Behind the small hill is a cliff. We'll circle over there and scale up the cliff! As long as we don't startle the Ape King, the possibility of us getting away is still very huge," Ye Yuan said.

"C-Can this work? We have to pass by that cave if we're climbing from the cliff."

"I don't really care anymore. At this point, we can only take our chances and give it a shot. Before long, day will break. Once dawn comes, we will have even less of a chance!" Ye Yuan made up his mind.

Feng Zhirou gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Later, you go and find the Crimson Soul Grass. I'll keep a lookout for you!"

Chapter 134: Goodbye, Ye Yuan!

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

Ye Yuan and Feng Zhirou avoided the night-patrolling Long-arm Stone Apes and circled around to the cliff area.

This cliff was virtually perpendicular to the ground. The distance from the top of the cliff to the place she and Ye Yuan were standing at was a full thousand feet tall!

"Ye Yuan, this cliff is so high. Can you make it?" Feng Zhirou asked Ye Yuan rather worriedly.

Scaling heights was completely different from using movement techniques on the flat ground. When one was ascending heights, they had to shake off the gravity from the Earth. Using movement techniques had a huge burden on martial artists.

After all, even if it were Crystal Formation Realm martial artists, they also could not soar in the skies.

Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists still had the advantage. But it was practically impossible for Essence Qi Realm martial artists to scale a thousand feet cliff.

Firstly, the essence energy of Essence Qi Realm martial artists could not bear the consumption of a thousand feet distance. Secondly, Tier 1 movement techniques were insufficient to support martial artists to scale a thousand feet.

"What do you mean 'Can you make it?' Take away that question mark. Of course I can!" Ye Yuan said without any care.

"But . . . the top of the cliff is a full thousand feet away from us here!"

"Isn't it just a thousand feet? You go first, Senior Apprentice Sister; I'll follow! We're already here. I can't keep dragging Senior Apprentice Sister down!" Ye Yuan smiled and said.

No matter how Ye Yuan said it, it sounded like he was going beyond his means in order to look impressive. If he were to climb halfway and fall because his essence energy was unable to support him, that would not be fun.

This cliff was a full thousand feet away from the ground. One misstep and his life would be guaranteed gone.

"There's really no problem?" Feng Zhirou asked suspiciously.

"Of course there's no problem! When have I disappointed Senior Apprentice Sister before?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Feng Zhirou thought about it. It seemed like Ye Yuan was really a freak and it appeared like there had never been anything he could not do before. Perhaps he could really make it?

"Fine, then I'll make a move first!"

Feng Zhirou nodded, and she tiptoed lightly, bounding on the cliff.

Feng Zhirou's body was light as a swallow. The sheer precipice which appeared to be beyond reach was akin to walking on flat ground to her.

Her movement technique was the high-grade Tier 2 martial technique, Spiritual Swallow Dance. It was originally famed for its light, graceful movement and speed. It was very suited to be used to scale this cliff.

Only to see that she either tiptoed or lightly tapped occasionally with her sword scabbard on the cliff. Her entire person shot up the cliff with extreme speed and in a blink of an eye, she crossed over 200 feet in distance.

However, the higher Feng Zhirou climbed, the further her heart fell. Because she could not sense Ye Yuan's presence!

Feng Zhirou could not sense a single bit of sound from below her!

Did Ye Yuan not move yet, or did he . . . fall down already?

Feng Zhirou really wanted to tilt her head down to see if Ye Yuan was there or not, but climbing the cliff was also not a relaxed matter for her. How could she have spare energy to bend down and look for Ye Yuan?

If Ye Yuan still had not moved yet, could it be that he was intentionally playing with her?

Impossible! There was no way that Ye Yuan would be so bored to that extent!

Did he . . . fall down already? But without even making any sound?

The more her imaginations ran wild, the more anxious Feng Zhirou got. The actions of her movement technique also became somewhat erratic.

Skid!

While Feng Zhirou was restless, her feet slipped and did not give support!

In a blink, Feng Zhirou's figure fell sharply.

"Careful, Senior Apprentice Sister!"

Just then, Feng Zhirou suddenly received Ye Yuan's voice transmission.

It turned out that Ye Yuan was actually following closely behind her all along!

But right now, Feng Zhirou already had nowhere to borrow strength from, unless she used her sword to stab into the cliff.

But that way, the impact of the sword and the cliff would surely give off an ear-piercing sound. The whole mountain full of Long-arm Stone Apes would be alarmed.

Even if they could ascend the cliff, they would also be unable to escape death.

Hence, in an instant, Feng Zhirou gave up on saving herself and allowed herself to plummet down the cliff!

She decided to take a look at Ye Yuan before dying. After she died, there probably would not be anyone constantly bickering with him anymore, right?

However, she did not manage to see Ye Yuan, because when she had just slid down around 20 feet or so, she felt a palm lightly supporting from beneath her feet!

It was this support which allowed her body to go back on the right track once again!

"Senior Apprentice Sister, you go up first. I'll follow right after!" Practically at the same time, Ye Yuan transmitted his voice over.

Feng Zhirou knew that this was Ye Yuan saving her. But . . . having suffered such an impact, could Ye Yuan still survive? She could even hear the sound of the wind rushing as Ye Yuan descended sharply.

Not knowing why, Feng Zhirou had an impulse to cry currently.

Yet, she knew that she could not waste this chance Ye Yuan risked his life to exchange. Hence, her toes tapped downward, using the momentum to execute the Spiritual Swallow Dance, and headed up the cliff speedily.

Feng Zhirou forcefully chased away all the thoughts in her head and focused her mind on climbing the cliff!

To the Feng Zhirou who discarded her distracting thoughts, scaling this thousand feet precipice was not a tough matter.

Before long, Feng Zhirou saw the top of the cliff. Her toe tapped on the cliff one last time, and her entire person flew up the cliff like a swallow.

But at this moment, Feng Zhirou did not have the slightest joy from conquering the cliff. She slumped on the ground, her heart feeling like a knife was twisting in.

Feng Zhirou, it's all your fault! You caused Ye Yuan to die! Sniff, sniff . . .

Feng Zhirou sobbed lightly but did not dare to make any sound. She used her hands to cover her mouth as she just convulsed there.

Tears cascaded down from the corner of her eyes and drifted down the cliff along with the wind.

Feng Zhirou, the one who should have died was you! Why you are still alive now, but Ye Yuan's dead?!

Feng Zhirou, why couldn't you have been nicer to Ye Yuan normally? He clearly helped you out a lot, but why can't you swallow your pride to say thanks?

Ye Yuan, I'm sorry, sorry, sorry . . .

Feng Zhirou kept on blaming herself in her heart, but she knew that Ye Yuan would never hear it.

Although Ye Yuan voice transmitted earlier that he would follow right after, Feng Zhirou knew that Ye Yuan definitely only said that to console her.

Under the impact of her plummeting down the cliff, it was impossible for Ye Yuan to have any chances of survival.

Even with her Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength and high-grade Tier 2 movement technique, it was also impossible to survive under those conditions, much less Ye Yuan who was only still at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm.

Feng Zhirou knew that Ye Yuan's Instant Flash was already trained to an extremely profound level. But that was still a Tier 1 movement technique after all. How was it possible to negate such a large impact power?

I'm sorry, Ye Yuan! I won't die! I'm going to finish your dying wish! I'm going to find the Crimson Soul Grass and other herbs! I'll return to the State of Qin and request for Lord Wu Daofeng to help Lu-er refine the Essence Yang Pill! If Lord Wu Daofeng can't refine it, then I'll go outside to look for even more amazing alchemists. No matter what, I'll definitely find a way to let Lu-er survive! Feng Zhirou silently swore.

Finishing, Feng Zhirou forcefully roused her spirit and stood up, preparing to seek out the Crimson Soul Grass.

Feng Zhirou looked at the pitch black cliff, and her tears started flowing once again uncontrollably.

Goodbye, Ye Yuan!

Sayin this in her heart, Feng Zhirou turned around and prepared to leave.

But right then, Feng Zhirou suddenly heard wind rushing sounds coming from below the cliff. It seemed there was something moving!

"No way! This . . . How's this possible? Could it be a hallucination?"

Feng Zhirou felt that she just heard an indistinct sound. It should be a hallucination because the probability of Ye Yuan surviving was really not great.

"But if it's a hallucination, why is the sound getting louder? Could it . . . Could it be . . ."

Just as Feng Zhirou was completely dazed, a figure darted up from the pitch black cliff!

Seeing the figure, Feng Zhirou was stunned there as tears burst forth from her eyes.

"Great! Great! He's fine! He's really fine!" Feng Zhirou shouted in her heart.

"Senior Apprentice Sister, I . . ."

Ye Yuan only voice transmitted a few words before noticing a light blue mass pouncing on him and hugging him.

That faint fragrance wafted into his nose, involuntarily shaking up Ye Yuan's mind.

"Ye Yuan, you're really alright. Excellent! It's really great!" Feng Zhirou transmitted as her tears flowed silently.

This feeling of holding a beauty in one's embrace was truly something that all men desired!

However, this was not the time to be immersed in affection. They had to quickly look for the Crimson Soul Grass.

Feng Zhirou clearly also noticed her discomposure and hastily released Ye Yuan. She wiped the tears from the corner of her years and said, "You . . . Don't misunderstood. I just . . . I just thought that you died because of saving me . . . That's . . . That's why I was like that."

Ye Yuan was stunned and immediately broke into a smile. "What happened just now? Why can't I remember anything? Senior Apprentice Sister, I'm exhausted. Let's recuperate for a while and then go find the Crimson Soul Grass."

"En . . ."

Ye Yuan's condition at the moment was not good. His essence energy was virtually depleted completely.

If not for the fact the thickness of his essence energy greatly surpassed those of the same rank, most likely, he would have burned out and died.

The expenditure of the duo was not minor. They each consumed a medicinal pill and adjusted for some time before recovering some strength.

"Senior Apprentice Sister, there's no time to lose. Let's hurry up and look for the Crimson Soul Grass."

"En, let's go."

Finishing, the pair descended side by side.

Along the way, Feng Zhirou was relatively silent, significantly different from usual.

"Ye Yuan, you . . . How did you come up? I . . . I didn't mean that . . . I . . . I . . ."

It was still Feng Zhirou who broke the silence first. She simply could not suppress her curiosity.

Except that her attitude when asking the question was completely different from usual, rather like a little wife instead.

Ye Yuan knew that Feng Zhirou was still feeling awkward, so he smiled lightly and said, "I know that Senior Apprentice Sister didn't mean that. But I'm rather surprised, how come Senior Apprentice Sister fumbled?"

Feng Zhirou's face turned red as she said with embarrassment, "Actually, I . . . I thought that you couldn't keep up, so . . ."

Ye Yuan only came to a realization after hearing Feng Zhirou say that. So she actually caused such a blunder because she was worried about him.

Initially, he found it weird too. With Feng Zhirou's base, it should have been impossible to make such a mistake.

Ye Yuan felt touched in his heart. His bad impression towards Feng Zhirou in the past also pretty much dissipated.

"Hur hur, so Senior Apprentice Sister thought I fell down. Senior Apprentice Sister look down on me too much."

"T-That's not my intention. It's just . . . It's just . . ."

"En, why didn't Senior Apprentice Sister think about it? My Master is so amazing, how could it be possible to not leave behind some impressive movement techniques for me? When I was battling with Lin Tiancheng, I could already sense that Instant Flash was lacking. After breaking through to the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, my essence energy is barely enough to cultivate Tier 2 martial arts already. I naturally have to supplement this weak point," Ye Yuan explained.

Feng Zhirou was suddenly enlightened. "So, that's the case! I've never seen you use other movement techniques before, hence . . ."

"En, I understand. Thanks, Senior Apprentice Sister!"

This thanks came sincerely from Ye Yuan.

Although Feng Zhirou's blunder gave Ye Yuan quite a bit of trouble and even nearly cost him his life, it arose from concern towards him.

In reality, the new movement technique Ye Yuan cultivated was not a Tier 2 movement martial technique. Ye Yuan really did not possess such a low-grade movement martial technique.

However, his essence energy was barely enough to reach the level to cultivate Tier 2 martial techniques. Ye Yuan naturally had to compensate for his lacking movement technique.

The name of the movement technique he cultivated was called Spirit Void Shattering Space. This movement technique did not have a specific tier, because it could be cultivated continuously in later realms.

At the Spirit Condensation Realm, one could cultivate the first level of the Spirit Void Shattering Space. The thickness of Ye Yuan's essence energy was already not beneath half-step Spirit Condensation Realm, although barely enough to reach this threshold.

Although the skill that Ye Yuan selected so prudently was only at the first level, its might was extremely formidable.

Even though it was just Entry stage, it was no problem for Ye Yuan to keep up with Feng Zhirou.

As a matter of fact, Ye Yuan had been maintaining the same pace as Feng Zhirou just now; not too fast nor too slow. Hence, Feng Zhirou could not detect his presence.

Except, Ye Yuan did not expect Feng Zhirou to actually misunderstand because of this and nearly slipped up and fell down the cliff.The pair avoided that cave from far away and searched for traces of the Crimson Soul Grass from top to bottom.

Due to the fact that the range of sight was very limited at night, the pair searched very meticulously. But after searching for a long time, they still did not find a trace of the Crimson Soul Grass.

The two spent close to two hours and virtually searched through the entire hill, but they still did not find the Crimson Soul Grass.

"Ye Yuan, do you think the Crimson Soul Grass is . . ." Feng Zhirou transmitted her voice as she looked towards that cave.

Presently, only the area where the cave was located had not been searched. If this hilltop had Crimson Soul Grasses, it could only be there.

And currently, dawn was about to break. If they still could not find the Crimson Soul Grass, the two would be in danger.

Ye Yuan sighed and said, "80% chance it's in that region. Looks like we still have to go over there eventually! Wait for me here, Senior Apprentice Sister. I'll be back soon."

How could Feng Zhirou comply? She stubbornly said, "No way! If you want to go, we'll go together! I promised aunty to protect you. How can I let you take the risk alone?"

Ye Yuan could not persuade her, so he could only say, "Fine then. But once there's any situation, immediately run!"

Feng Zhirou nodded and slowly combed their way over to the cave's vicinity.

As the pair gradually got closer to the cave, they felt a powerful aura undulating from inside the cave.

"Quickly look, Ye Yuan! Isn't that the Crimson Soul Grass?" Feng Zhirou suddenly discovered something and hurriedly pulled Ye Yuan as she transmitted.

Ye Yuan looked over to where Feng Zhirou was pointing at, and as expected, he saw several stalks of crimson-colored, serrated edged tiny grass. If that was not Crimson Soul Grass, that what was?

After going through many hardships and finding the Crimson Soul Grass, even Ye Yuan with his Heart Like Still Water was quite excited right now.

Even though he prepared so many items painstakingly for the Crimson Summit Ridge, he also undertook extremely huge risk.

No matter how powerful Ye Yuan was, he was merely but an Essence Qi Realm martial artist. There was naturally no need to mention the risks he braved when facing pairs of Tier 2 demonic beasts and even Tier 3 demonic beasts.

Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and said to Feng Zhirou, "I'll go and retrieved those stalks of Crimson Soul Grass. After I'm done, we'll leave this place at maximum speed!"

Finishing, Ye Yuan fully executed his first level Spirit Void Shattering Space, turning into an afterimage flickering towards the Crimson Soul Grass.

"Howl! Howl!"

Just then, several ape cries sounded. Ye Yuan's and Feng Zhirou's complexion changed drastically at the same time!

Report chapter

Following several ape howls, a feeling of extreme danger surged up in Ye Yuan's heart!

This feeling of danger made Ye Yuan's scalp tingled.

He knew that if he were to take another step forward, he would definitely invoke a calamity!

The next instant, Ye Yuan explosively retreated even faster than when he came!

"Go, Senior Apprentice Sister!"

Ye Yuan chose to retreat without any hesitation. That was a Tier 3 demonic beast. It could eradicate the two of them with just a single strike.

Feng Zhirou evidently also sensed that something was not right. Without waiting for Ye Yuan's warning, she displayed her Spirit Swallow Dance and rushed down the mountain with astonishing speed.

Feng Zhirou and Ye Yuan, one in front and the other behind, sprinted down the mountain frenziedly. Nevertheless, this process only lasted several breaths of time before the two figures stopped abruptly.

"Careful, Senior Apprentice Sister!" Ye Yuan yelled out anxiously.

Virtually the same instant Ye Yuan yelled, a white figure taller than a person shot out from diagonally, and actually reached first even though it moved later, and caught up to Feng Zhirou in a flash!

Facing this aura which was powerful to the extreme, Feng Zhirou's complexion turned pale. How could she be bothered to resist? She instantly retreated explosively.

However, when compared to that white figure, Feng Zhirou's speed was too slow!

In a blur, Feng Zhirou saw a colossal ape paw slapping down towards herself!

"Ahh!"

Panicking, Feng Zhirou raised her hand to randomly strike with her sword and then shut her eyes in fright.

This Tier 3 demonic beast was too strong. It was simply not what she could stand up to.

It's over! This was Feng Zhirou's final thought.

Swoosh!

Nine streaks of sword beams brushed past Feng Zhirou and attacked from the sides. They converged from different locations and attacked the lower abdomen of that Long-arm Stone Ape!

Ye Yuan unleased the Nine Swords Stance straight away!

It was different from the previous time's disorderly attack. This time, the nine streaks of sword beams finally converged together. Ye Yuan's control over the sword beams once again advanced to another level!

This was also Ye Yuan's supernormal performance in a moment of desperation. If he really unleashed the sword another time, he might not be able to do it.

The nine afterimages of the Nine Swords Stance were not phantoms, but corporeal bodies!

This first stance of the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art was Ye Yuan gathering the forces of the two types of sword intent and evolved further from the Falling Flower Floating Zero Sword's extreme speed movements!

Every single attack was released personally by him!

Except, that instantaneous speed was too swift, so it looked as if it was released from nine different locations.

Nine swords merged into one. The attack power would naturally be incomparably formidable! But, this should be insufficient to injure the Tier 3 Ape King.

However, that Ape King actually chose to evade the sword beams!

With a swoosh, after the nine streaks of sword beams merged, it followed the original path it flew over from and vanished by fading into the world.

It took time to describe, but all of these actually just happened in a flash.

From Ye Yuan's explosive retreat to the duo's frenzied flight, and to the Ape King attacking Feng Zhirou, and then to Ye Yuan rescuing Feng Zhirou by besieging the Ape King, it was all but a few short breaths of time.

At this time, that Ape King stood several dozen feet away from Feng Zhirou. Ye Yuan similarly stood several dozen feet away from Feng Zhirou, while Feng Zhirou had her eyes shut waiting for the Ape King's paw to strike down.

The two humans and one beast actually entered a stalemate!

"W-what happened? Y-Ye Yuan, did you save me?" Feng Zhirou recovered from her surprise and stared at Ye Yuan as she asked hesitantly.

Ye Yuan did not bother with her and kept staring at the Ape King in the distance.

Tier 3 Ape King was too terrifying. It could virtually instant-kill the two of them. Just now, Ye Yuan could save Feng Zhirou because of special conditions which allowed him to complete an impossible task.

The Ape King felt that Feng Zhirou's strength was slightly stronger and had more threat, so it chose to do a surprise attack on her right away.

And Ye Yuan happened to be some distance away from Feng Zhirou. The Ape King could not possibly attack the two of them at the same time, which gave Ye Yuan the opportunity to launch an attack unhurriedly.

The reason why the Ape King chose to keep a distance was because the place Ye Yuan attacked was precisely the weak point of the Long-arm Stone Apes! Ye Yuan's attack this time was accurate to the extreme.

If the Ape King forcefully took this stance head-on, it would probably already be heavily injured right now.

Otherwise, with Ye Yuan's cultivation, no matter how strong the attack was, it would be impossible to cause major injuries to the Ape King.

But in reality, if the Ape King attacked at the risk of getting injured, Feng Zhirou would already be an ice-cold corpse now.

As for why Ye Yuan's surprise attack worked, it was because the Ape King overly underestimated the two of them. That led to it revealing its weak point.

If the Ape King attacked once more, Ye Yuan and Feng Zhirou would die without question!

Hence, Ye Yuan did not dare to let down his guard this whole time and firmly locked his attention onto the Ape King.

That Ape King clearly also did not think that a puny little Essence Qi Realm martial artist would actually be even more threatening than that Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm woman!

After one attack, the Ape King spontaneously sized up Ye Yuan.

The ape stared at Ye Yuan without showing any signs of its emotion.

Seeing Ye Yuan ignore her, Feng Zhirou also did not dare to act rashly at this time. She was stuck between the two of them feeling completely awkward.

However, no matter how foolish she was, she also knew that her life was picked up just now. No matter how she thought, she never imagined that Ye Yuan, an Essence Qi Realm martial artist, could actually threaten the Crystal Formation Realm Ape King!

This was too inconceivable!

Just now, she was somewhat flustered and did not form an effective attack. But even if she gave it her all, the result would still be being smacked to death from a single slap by the Ape King.

She was all too clear on this point!

In that instant, the might of the Ape King had smothered her!

But Ye Yuan could actually save her from under the Ape King's hands!

Just several breaths of time but Feng Zhirou felt like as long as several years had passed.

Her forehead exuded fine sweat beads. Each breath from the Ape King made her feel deeply uneasy.

Feng Zhirou looked at Ye Yuan's appearance as if he was facing a formidable enemy and understood that the scenario earlier was probably very unlikely to reenact.

But what should she do?

Just as Feng Zhirou was lost in her imaginations, the Ape King made a move once again!

But Ye Yuan did not move!

Just as the Ape King moved, a series of gibberish sounds came out of Ye Yuan's mouth. Feng Zhirou completely could not understand what he was talking about.

What was Ye Yuan doing? Could it be that he wanted to communicate with the Ape King? But how could the Ape King understand Ye Yuan's words?

As the State of Qin's princess, Feng Zhirou could be counted as being experienced and knowledgeable. However, she had never heard of humans being able to communicate with demonic beasts!

There were too many species of demonic beasts, so many that it was uncountable. The language used by each species of demonic beasts was not the same. How could humans grasp it?

However, at this important juncture of life and death, would Ye Yuan do this sort of futile actions?

Feng Zhirouo's eyes involuntarily turned to the Ape King and could not help widening her eyes.

The Ape King who was already prepared to unleash its attack really stopped its actions!

This . . . was simply too miraculous!

A human could actually communicate with demonic beasts!

Feng Zhirou discovered that the more she interacted with Ye Yuan, the more she felt that there were increasingly more mysteries to Ye Yuan.

Was Ye Yuan who was just 15 years old really taught by that so-called master of his?

Such an enigmatic man!

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

Seeing the Ape King cease its movement, Ye Yuan also let out a huge sigh of relief. His entire body was feeling like collapsing.

Although he had forcefully pretended to be composed the whole time, the pressure from the aura of a Tier 3 demonic beast was no joke.

This Ape King was not those sort of half-baked half-step Crystal Formation Realm like Su Yubai, but a genuine Tier 3 demonic beast! An existence equivalent to a human Crystal Formation Realm!

No matter how monstrous Ye Yuan was, it was impossible to cross two major realms and defeat his opponent.

It was already very heaven-defying for an Essence Qi Realm martial artist's attack to be able to threaten a Tier 3 demonic beast.

His gibberish just now was already Ye Yuan's final trump card. If even this trump card had no effect, then he would really die here.

But luckily, those words from Ye Yuan was not playing the lute to an ape. This Ape King really understood!

What Ye Yuan said was the universal beast language. It was the demon race's universal language collectively set by the Divine Realm demon race powerhouses countless years ago. The goal was to allow communication among the demon race.

There were countless races in the demon race. None of the individual races could be on par with the human race.

To allow the demon race to be able to ally together to resist the human race, the demon race powerhouses in ancient times collectively set down a series of measures. And this universal beast language was one of them!

After countless generations passed, the universal beast language already became the inherited memories of each race, passing down from generation to generation.

If this Ape King did not awaken its inherited memories, then Ye Yuan would really be playing the lute to an ape!

The stone ape clan had once birthed an extremely heaven-defying existence, Equals Heaven Saint Ape. That was a Deity Realm expert!

Even though it was passed down through the generations, the Endless World's stone ape bloodline had already become very thin. But awakening a portion of inherited memories was still doable.

It would be very tough for ordinary Ape Soldiers and Ape Generals to awaken their inherited memories, but there was still the likelihood of this Ape King awakening them.

What Ye Yuan said earlier was, "Senior Ape King, wait a moment!"

The Ape King was clearly very surprised. A human actually knew the universal beast language.

The Ape King discovered that this human youth seemed to be extraordinary. Not only was he extremely strong, he even knew the universal beast language!

Even he himself only learned the universal beast language after awakening his inherited memories.

The Ape King also started using the universal beast language to communicate with Ye Yuan. "Brat, the two of you trespassed my territory and stole the Crimson Soul Grass. How do you plan to plead?!"

Since this Ape King was willing to talk, Ye Yuan was not too worried.

He gave a bow towards the Ape King and said, "Please forgive me, Senior Ape King. This junior came to seek out the Crimson Soul Grass because I really have no other alternatives. This junior has a close friend who possesses the Nine Yin Absolute Meridians. Now, seeing as the frost poison is about to erupt, she desperately needs the Crimson Soul Grass to save her life. I hope that Senior Ape King can be generous!"

"What has it got to do with me if your friend is in trouble? I also have great use for these Crimson Soul Grass. How can I give it to you so easily? Ignoring this point, just the fact that you barged into my territory, you can forget about leaving today!"

The Ape King was not some living bodhisattva. It obviously could not be bothered with a stranger's life or death.

If not for the fact it found Ye Yuan rather interesting, it would have long smacked him to death with one palm. Why would it talk so much crap with him?

After the Ape King finishing talking, it howled a few times. Immediately, a bunch of Long-arm Stone Apes surrounded them. They were shockingly all late-stage Tier 2 demonic beasts!

Feng Zhirou was alarmed after seeing the situation and hurriedly scooted over to Ye Yuan's side.

Just an Ape King could already take their lives. What could they do with so many late-stage Tier 2 demonic beasts surrounding them?

"Ye Yuan, you can really talk with that Ape King?" Feng Zhirou said softly.

Ye Yuan nodded. "Luckily, the Ape King awakened its inherited memories and learned the universal beast language. Otherwise, we would be dead for sure! Back then when Master taught me the universal beast language, I objected to it. I didn't think that it would really be put to good use."

Ye Yuan also knew that communicating with demonic beasts was incredibly shocking, so he just pushed this responsibility onto his Master.

Feng Zhirou looked at the enclosing Long-arm Stone Apes and smiled bitterly. "In this current situation, we're still dead for sure."

Ye Yuan smiled and then said, "That might not be the case! If the Ape King had not awakened its inherited memories, then nothing can be discussed. But since he awakened it, not only do we not have to die, we might even be able to take the Crimson Soul Grass and leave!"

"Stop joking! You just said a whole bunch to it just now, but not only did its attitude not turn for the better, it even summoned such a large group of late-stage Tier 2 demonic beasts over. How can it let us leave alive?" Feng Zhirou said dejectedly.

Indeed, being walled in by a large group of late-stage Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes, the pressure they faced was not much lesser than facing the Ape King.

Luckily, these Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes did not receive the order to attack. Or else, the two of them would probably be meat paste by now.

"Heh heh, just watch me!" Ye Yuan chuckled and said.

"The two of you chattering over there, ready to die yet? You humans hunt down us demon race every day. Now, we'll also let you experience the taste of being hunted," the Ape King said and grunted coldly.

Although he said it very savagely, it did not order those Ape Generals to attack,

Ye Yuan took two steps forward and said to the Ape King with a smile, "Senior Ape King won't kill me!"

"What a joke! Why won't I kill you? Just because you know the universal beast language? Aren't you overestimating yourself too much, brat?"

"Hur hur, Senior Ape King said wrongly. It's not me who's overrating myself, but you who are underestimating me!"

At this stage, Ye Yuan could not be bothered to pretend to be subservient anymore. He might as well show off a fearless appearance.

How could it be that he, an exalted Alchemy Emperor, could not even handle a Tier 3 demonic beast?

The Ape King involuntarily burst into laughter when it heard Ye Yuan's words. Except that a stone ape laughing so boisterously made one's hair stand on its ends.

"Brat, you're really a newborn calf who isn't scared of the tiger! Looking at your bone age, you're at most 15 to 16 years old. Such a young age, how do you expect me to attach importance to you?"

Ye Yuan simply chuckled and did not have any intentions of refuting. He just lightly spat out three words from his mouth.

"Demon . . . Crystal . . . Pill!"

The face of the Ape King who was originally still laughing its head off suddenly changed. A pair of enormous ape eyes stared fixedly at Ye Yuan.

That manner looked as if it wanted to eat Ye Yuan.

"Brat, your family's elders know how to refine the Demon Crystal Pill?" The Ape King enunciated each word carefully.

It was enough to tell from its attitude just how important this Demon Crystal Pill was to it.

Although Feng Zhirou did not know what they were talking about, from the Ape King's condition that Ye Yuan had successfully hooked the Ape King's appetite. So she could not help looking forward to it.

The Ape King was entirely certain that Ye Yuan would nod his head and acknowledge. Who would have thought that Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Nope."

The Ape King instantly flew into a rage when he heard that. "Brat, you dare to make a fool out of this king?! Do you believe that this king will swallow you alive?!"

Ye Yuan laughed and said, "After swallowing me, you'll probably also stop at the initial-stage Tier 3 your entire life. No matter how many more Crimson Soul Grass you eat, it will be futile."

Ye Yuan stood in front of the Ape King with his hands behind his back without the slightest trace of fear.

Chapter 138: Ignorant Ape!

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

"Hur hur, such an audacious tone! You, an Essence Qi Realm brat, actually dares to talk wildly about this king's limits!" The Ape King sneered.

Ye Yuan did not mind the Ape King's attitude. He already knew that the Ape King was already interested.

Otherwise, with him strutting around so arrogantly in front of the Ape King, it would have slapped him to death with one palm long ago.

Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "I'm afraid that Senior Ape King is much clearer on where your own limits are than I am. Senior Ape King knows yourself whether or not what I said was right. If you feel like I'm bragging, you can completely kill me right now. Either way, it's just a matter of lifting your hands for you."

Now that Ye Yuan said that, the Ape King went silent instead.

Just as Ye Yuan said, the Ape King itself knew best just where its limits were.

Without some fortuitous lucky encounter, it would be very hard to break through to the middle-stage Tier 3 in its lifetime.

Demonic beasts were stronger than humans at the same rank and also had a much greater lifespan than the latter. This was where their strengths were.

Nevertheless, when compared to humans, the limitations were also very huge.

Their intelligence was very low, and their cultivation mostly relied on instincts. Hence, progress was very slow.

And the difficulty of them breaking through realms was also much harder than humans.

To human Crystal Formation Realm martial artists, each breakthrough in a minor realm was tremendously tough. But to demonic beasts, the difficulty of breaking through a stage was even greater!

The Ape King's current strength was roughly around a human Third Level Crystal Formation Realm.

The difficulty was already very huge for human martial artists to cross this small step. To the Ape King, it was naturally doubly difficult.

Hence, while Ye Yuan's words might sound wildly conceited, it was truthfully not a false statement just to raise alarm.

The Ape King was naturally crystal clear on this point.

And the Demon Crystal Pill was precisely a medicinal pill which could aid Tier 3 demonic beasts to breakthrough a minor realm!

The Ape King had awakened a part of its inherited memories, and within this portion of inherited memories, there was the description of the Demon Crystal Pill.

It was just that even if the Ape King knew about the Demon Crystal Pill, it was impossible to refine it.

While refining medicinal pill was not a right that was exclusive to humans, human alchemists were way more powerful than the demon races'.

Furthermore, it was simply impossible for these sort of low tier demonic beasts like the Ape King to refine medicinal pill. What they could do was only to beg human alchemists to help them refine.

But how many human Alchemy Grandmasters knew how to refine the Demon Crystal Pill? Even if they knew how to refine the Demon Crystal Pill, how many were able to communicate with the Ape King?

If the two parties encountered each other, it would already be pretty good if they did not have a life and death struggle.

One had to know that the inner core of the Ape King was also a pretty decent alchemy ingredient!

"Brat, your family's elders don't know how to refine it, but you mentioned the Demon Crystal Pill to this king. Isn't this messing with me? If you don't give me a justifiable explanation, you can forget about leaving here alive!"

While the Ape King's words were callous, there still existed a trace of expectation. Or else, how could he talk so nicely with Ye Yuan here?

Ye Yuan grinned and said, "I already said just now that Senior Ape King is looking down on me. I only said that my family's elders don't know how to refine it, but I didn't say that I don't know how to refine it!"

The Ape King started to suspect that it heard wrongly. "You? You, an Essence Qi Realm brat, refining a Tier 3 medicinal pill? This king might not be knowledgeable about alchemy, but I also won't make such a naïve mistake and fall for your trick! You've been going in circles for half the day, aren't you just hoping that I would let the two of you go? But since you have the guts to play tricks on this king, then forget about leaving."

The Ape King's patience had clearly already reached its limits. It waved its paw and prepared to let those Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes attack Ye Yuan jointly.

Feng Zhirou jumped in fright when she saw the situation. She knew that Ye Yuan and the Ape King's talk had fallen apart, and immediately raised her sword to prepare to face the enemies.

However, Ye Yuan pressed on her sword and looked at the Ape King unhurriedly, saying, "Senior Ape King don't know alchemy, but do you know the grading among human alchemists?"

"Of course I know it! But don't you dare tell me that you, an Essence Qi Realm martial artist, is an Alchemy Grandmaster."

Ye Yuan took off the alchemist badge on his chest and tossed it over to the Ape King, saying, "This badge is issued by the Alchemy Association to alchemists. There's my personal information inside it. Senior Ape King just have to insert essence energy into the badge, and you'll naturally understand."

Though the Ape King did not feel that Ye Yuan had the ability to refine the Demon Crystal Pill, it felt that he also could not play any tricks, so it inserted a wisp of essence energy into the badge, and Ye Yuan's information instantly surfaced inside his mind.

"Low-rank Alchemy Master? Essence Qi Realm low-rank Alchemy Master?" The Ape King looked at Ye Yuan in astonishment.

The Ape King was an old demon who had lived for several hundred years. It still knew a little about the grading among human alchemists.

Under normal circumstances, the alchemist grade corresponded with the martial artist's strength. Rarely would there appear Essence Qi Realm Alchemy Masters or Spirit Condensation Realm Alchemy Grandmasters

One could tell from this that this youth's alchemy standards were rather high. No wonder he dared to be so rampant!

But . . . so what?

"You're just an Alchemy Master and even a low-rank Alchemy Master who just passed the Alchemist Association's test not long ago. Don't tell me that you can refine the Demon Crystal Pill now!" Ape King threw the badge back to Ye Yuan and said.

Ye Yuan caught the badge and pinned it on. He looked at the Ape King and stretched out a finger, saying, "One year! Within a year, I'll definitely give Senior Ape King a Demon Crystal Pill!"

"One year? How's that possible? Brat, don't think that this king is easy to hoodwink. Regardless of how glib your tongue is, you can forget about leaving here today!" the Ape King said disdainfully.

A low-rank Alchemy Master refining a Tier 3 medicinal pill within a year?

This king might have read very few books, but don't deceive this king!

However, Ye Yuan just said with a cold smile, "To think that you awakened inherited memories in vain. You're just an ignorant ape."

"What did you say? Do you believe that this king will kill you immediately?!" The Ape King could not help exploding in anger after hearing Ye Yuan's words.

"Isn't it so? What you can't do, doesn't mean that others can't! Things that you don't understand don't mean that they don't exist! Back in those days, Senior Equals Heaven Saint Ape only used two years to go from Tier 1 to Tier 3! How do you know that I can't refine Tier 3 medicinal pill within a year? To think that the descendant of Senior Equals Heaven Saint Ape who had the Divine Realm at his beck and call would actually be ignorant to such an extent. Lamentable, ohhow pitiable!" Ye Yuan shook his head and sighed.

"Brat, you actually dare to compare yourself to Equal Heaven Old Ancestor?! Truly unaware of the immensity of Heaven and Earth! Equals Heaven Old Ancestor is a Deity Realm expert. How can an ant like you compare?!" The Ape King said furiously.

Ye Yuan sneered and said, "Are aristocrats born nobler than others? Senior Equals Heaven Saint Ape did not grow up in the Divine Realm but rose to power in the lower realms. Back then, wasn't there also people who said that he didn't know the immensity of Heaven and Earth? Truthfully telling you, refining the Demon Crystal Pill is but an effortless matter for me. It's just that my current realm is insufficient, that's why I can't refine it. Breaking through to the Crystal Formation Realm within a year is a breeze to me. That's all I have to say. Talking anymore won't help. If Senior Ape King doesn't believe my words, then make a move right now."

Finishing, Ye Yuan turned around and really just ignored the Ape King.

The Ape King stared at Ye Yuan and was at a loss on what to do for a moment . . .

Chapter 139: The Tides Turn!

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

Honestly speaking, Ye Yuan's words were indeed incomparably rampant. No matter how it sounded, it just seemed like big talk.

What kind of existence was the Equals Heaven Saint Ape?

That was a Deity Realm existence!

In this era where the Deity Realm was lost, the bright halo of those former Deity Realm experts appeared to be even more dazzling and legendary.

A native of the Endless World actually dared to compare himself to Equals Heaven Old Ancestor. Just how much dauntless courage was needed?!

To the stone ape clan, Equals Heaven Old Ancestor was a totem-like being; an existence that brooks no blasphemy!

This comparison by Ye Yuan truly angered the Ape King!

However, what surprised the Ape King was that this original inhabitant of the Endless World actually knew about Equals Heaven Old Ancestor!

If not for having awakened his inherited memories, even he himself did not know about the existence of Equals Heaven Old Ancestor. How did this brat know?

Not just that, he even knew clearly about Equals Heaven Old Ancestor's growing up experiences. That was even stranger.

Although this brat might be a little weak, his body was leaking with abnormality.

Clearly having only Essence Qi Realm cultivation, yet he could unleash a powerful attack that could threaten Spirit Condensation Realms.

Clearly having only Essence Qi Realm cultivation, yet he could become a low-rank Alchemy Master.

Moreover, the data on that badge said that Ye Yuan was only at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm when he passed the test! This was simply subverting!

The Ape King even knew that human alchemists rarely knew about the existence of the Demon Crystal Pill. But this teenage brat actually knew!

All in all, it was so abnormal!

If these things were combined, perhaps . . . this brat could really refine the Demon Crystal Pill?

Then again, it was just a year's time. If Ye Yuan could not refine it, he did not lose much anyway. At most he would just blow his top and then kill Ye Yuan.

But what if Ye Yuan could really refine the Demon Crystal Pill?

Then what if Ye Yuan could help him advance to late-stage Tier 3?

Could it be that he still had the possibility of breaking through to Tier 4 in this lifetime?

Thinking up to here, the Ape King found it hard to calm his emotions down again. The temptation of Tier 4 was . . . utterly irresistible!

What was the concept of Tier 4?

Even in this Endless Forest where high tier demonic beasts were as plentiful as clouds, Tier 4 demonic beasts also counts as a hegemon of a region!

The current Ape King was at most occupying a mountain and calling himself king.

Within a radius of a thousand miles, who knew how many Tier 3 demonic beasts there were just like him. He was merely one of them.

This was a sure win and no losses gamble!

Even if the Ape King lost, what he lost was just a year's time anyway. But if he won, then he would obtain an even broader future!

A year was completely irrelevant to the Ape King. It could not even increase his strength the least bit.

"You . . . you can really refine the Demon Crystal Pill?" the Ape King asked somewhat weakly.

Ye Yuan turned his face over and snubbed the Ape King.

He knew that his words already took effect. As long as he let the Ape King become conscious of his mysteriousness, he definitely would not lay hands on him.

Just a year's time was completely worthless to the Ape King.

Ye Yuan could naturally think of what the Ape King desired.

Hence, it was the Ape King who was begging him now, and not him beseeching the Ape King anymore.

Compared to Tier 4, what did the Crimson Soul Grass even matter?

Seeing Ye Yuan ignore him, the Ape King could not help feeling awkward. But when he recalled his attitude towards him just now, the Ape King felt that the attitude of this person now did not seem to be improper.

On the contrary, the more Ye Yuan behaved so, the more the Ape King felt that he was unfathomable.

Only a capable person would posture like this!

Feng Zhirou who was looking at this scene by the side could not help widening her eyes.

This plot reversed too quickly!

The Ape King was still in a billowing rage just now and wanted to smack people to death at the slightest provocation. Why did his attitude do a 180 degree U-turn after exchanging a few sentences?

Feng Zhirou unintentionally looked at Ye Yuan curiously. She really wanted to know what went on between Ye Yuan and the Ape King.

However, she knew that now was not the time to interrupt, so she could only press down her curiosity deep in her heart.

Feng Zhirou knew that she and Ye Yuan was already safe now. That was enough.

"Bra . . . young man, if you can really refine the Demon Crystal Pill, you can have as much Crimson Soul Grass as you want!" The Ape King changed his form of address at the last moment and turned 'brat' into 'young man.'

Right now, the only bargaining chip on the Ape King's hands was the Crimson Soul Grass. Ye Yuan was ignoring him, so he could only take that out.

Ye Yuan only turned his head back slowly after seeing that the Ape King went to the main point, saying indifferently, "Isn't Senior Ape King bullying people too much by using the Crimson Soul Grass to exchange for the Demon Crystal Pill?"

Crimson Soul Grass was only a Tier 2 medicinal herb. Though it might be scarce, it was simply garbage when compared with Tier 3 medicine pills!

And this sort of medicinal pill for the consumption of demonic beasts like the Demon Crystal Pill was practically unheard of in the human territories. In the Endless World, alchemists who could refine demonic beast medicinal pills could likely be counted on the fingers of one hand.

Such was the pricelessness of the Demon Crystal Pill!

The Ape King also showed slight embarrassment and said, "Young man, as long as you can really refine out the Demon Crystal Pill, just list your terms! As long I can I do it, I definitely won't say no!"

Ye Yuan looked at the Ape King and suddenly beamed, smiling until the Ape King felt scared.

However, Ye Yuan did not list his terms. Instead, he asked with a smile, "Senior Ape King, I wonder if you have any interest in the Demon Manor Pill?"

When the Ape King heard 'Demon Manor Pill' these three words, he involuntarily sucked in a cold breath, and he became battered out of his senses. Where was there still any demeanor of an unparalleled expert?

For an ape's face to have such exciting expressions, it was hard on the Ape King.

Currently, the Ape King's entire body was trembling. He was clearly agitated to the extreme!

"Demon . . . demon . . . demon . . . you can actually even refine that?!"

After saying 'demon' for a long time, the Ape King did not complete the three words 'Demon Manor Pill' and was already so agitated that he was stuttering.

Demon Manor Pill was precisely a medicinal pill which could aid demonic beasts to breakthrough to Tier 4!

It was Tier 4!

Before today, he had never had any extravagant hopes of breaking through to Tier 4. But now, Ye Yuan whetted his appetite sky high, and actually even brought up the Demon Manor Pill!

Was it not wanting a person's life?! No wait, it should be wanting an ape's life!

No matter human martial artists or demonic beasts, who could withstand the allure of breaking through a major realm?

Nobody!

Each major realm was like a heavenly chasm!

Those geniuses could cross a heavenly chasm, but might not be able to cross the next one. After crossing the next heavenly chasm, they might not be able to cross the next one!

Each major realm was just like a fine sieve, eliminating countless geniuses again and again.

Each heavenly chasm could make innumerable geniuses fall in the sand with broken halberds.

The Ape King being able to awaken its inherited memories meant that he already counted as a pinnacle genius among the Long-arm Stone Apes.

But this heavenly chasm called Tier 4 mercilessly shut the door on his face!

Now, did he really have the chance to cross this heavenly chasm?

Ye Yuan was very satisfied with the Ape King's response and said smilingly, "Didn't I say just now? Refining pills to me is just a common meal. What I'm lacking now is but cultivation realm!"

Chapter 140: There's Only This One Chance!

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

Ye Yuan's manner of speaking clearly seemed like he was boasting.

However, the Ape King did not know why, but he felt that what Ye Yuan said was real!

Perhaps this feeling originated from the powerful self-confidence coming off of Ye Yuan's body.

This sort of feeling was contradictory, yet it was so persuasive.

In the end, it was the allure of Tier 4 which trumped all!

"State your terms, young man! I concede!" The Ape King said helplessly.

After awakening his inherited memories, the Ape King's intellect was no longer inferior to regular humans. He knew that Ye Yuan whetting up his appetite was definitely not for something as simple as the Crimson Soul Grass.

Seeing the Ape King's defeated look, Ye Yuan said calmly, "With ten years as the duration, acknowledge me as your master!"

"What? You, a puny little Essence Qi Realm, actually want me to acknowledge you as my master?" The Ape King was enraged when he heard that.

On the Crimson Summit Ridge, the Ape King was a paramount existence. Regardless of strength or age, he was on an entirely different level from Ye Yuan.

To ask him to acknowledge a youth as his master was even more painful than killing him!

But Ye Yuan had an indifferent look on his face as he said, "After ten years, even if you wanted to acknowledge me as your master, I'm afraid that you won't even get a queue number. If you're unwilling, then I don't really care. I'll just suffer this small loss and use the Demon Crystal Pill to exchange the Crimson Soul Grass with you. Either way, refining a Demon Crystal Pill is effortless to me. After a year, I'll hand you the Demon Crystal Pill, and the two of us won't owe each other anything! But at that time, don't think about becoming my servant to exchange for the Demon Manor Pill."

Ye Yuan paused and kept away the smile on his face, saying solemnly, "There's only this one chance!"

With Ye Yuan keeping away his smile, the aura of a sovereign undulated out naturally, as if he was a sovereign who descended upon the world!

Feng Zhirou had never seen this side of Ye Yuan as if he looked down on all things under the heavens. This sort of disposition and aura, even if her father were here, most likely he would also admit defeat, right?

Ye Yuan was originally the Medicine King Hall's young patriarch, an Alchemy Emperor with supreme status in the Divine Realm. Even when matched up against those old undying from the Alchemist Association, his standards went beyond rather than falling below the mark.

Although he changed his body now, that sort of disposition of a sovereign originated from the deepest part of the soul. It was completely unnecessary for him to fake it.

When the Ape King saw how Ye Yuan's bearing was actually so extraordinary, he was unwittingly shocked inwardly.

As a sovereign himself, the Ape King was even clearer that this sort of bearing was absolutely not something that could be faked by an Essence Qi Realm youth!

There were definitely many unknown secrets on this young man's body!

The Ape King inadvertently started to re-evaluate Ye Yuan's words.

Ye Yuan's meaning was very clear. If he chose to use the Crimson Soul Grass to exchange, then he would lose the opportunity to advance to a Tier 4 demonic beast.

So the question now was whether Ye Yuan could really refine a Demon Manor Pill.

This was similarly another gamble. Ye Yuan increased the original bet multiple times!

Ye Yuan saying to acknowledge him as his master was naturally not just verbally. It was to enter a soul contract.

After entering a soul contract, all actions of the Ape King had to comply with Ye Yuan's commands without resistance. Otherwise, a single thought from Ye Yuan could make the Ape King's soul dissipate.

That was to say, he would lose ten years of freedom!

If the Ape King chose to use the Crimson Soul Grass to exchange, he would earn without losing anything. With the Demon Crystal Pill, there was no problem for him to breakthrough to middle-stage Tier 3.

But that way, he would also lose the chance to breakthrough to Tier 4.

Perhaps, this might be his only chance to become a Tier 4 demonic beast!

If he chose the latter, the risk he faced would be much greater. If Ye Yuan could not refine the Demon Manor Pill, he would lose ten years of freedom!

This was something the Ape King could not accept!

But if he chose the latter, he would obtain the opportunity to breakthrough to Tier 4!

This opportunity was too hard to come by!

The temptation of Tier 4 was too huge!

The Ape King kept on contorting his ape face in agony. Clearly, his heart was filled with turmoil.

Seeing the Ape King show such an interesting expression, Feng Zhirou nearly laughed out loud. But she was also very astonished in her heart.

"Just what did you say to him? Why is he showing such an expression?" Feng Zhirou could not suppress her curiosity and voice transmitted to ask.

Ye Yuan did not hide it and told her the matter of his intention to take the Ape King in as his servant.

The look on Feng Zhirou's face also became very fascinating when she heard Ye Yuan's voice transmission.

"But that's a Tier 3 Ape King! Even the Dean might not be his match. You actually want to take him in as your servant?" Feng Zhirou nearly let out a sound.

"Just a Tier 3 Stone Ape, that's all. Barely strong enough to be my servant I guess. It's also because my strength is too weak, or else I wouldn't even be bothered to take him in. You're also aware, my Master is very strong. If the servant I take in is too lousy, the elder will also lose his prestige." Ye Yuan said helplessly.

Feng Zhirou stared at Ye Yuan and was already completely speechless.

The two of them barged into the Crimson Summit Ridge at nearly the cost of their lives. No matter how Feng Zhirou thought, she did not expect the situation to reverse so swiftly.

The previous moment, they were nearly killed by this Ape King, and the next moment, Ye Yuan wanted to take this Ape King in as his servant.

Not that I don't understand, but it's this world that changed too quickly!

Just what kind of existence was Ye Yuan's master?

The Ape King's struggle continued for several dozen breaths of time, but Ye Yuan did not urge him.

Ye Yuan also knew that this matter was an extremely painful choice to the Ape King.

The Ape King in the Crimson Summit Ridge was like an emperor in a mortal country.

To make an emperor become another person's servant was clearly an extremely difficult matter.

Gradually, the Ape King's facial expression settled down. Ye Yuan knew that he already made his decision.

"How is it? Have you considered it?" Ye Yuan asked calmly.

"To get me to become your servant also works, but you must swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to definitely refine the Demon Manor Pill for me within ten years!" the Ape King said solemnly.

Ye Yuan laughed in spite of himself when he heard that. "Don't be mistaken. Right now, I'm not the one begging you to be my servant, but it's me who's giving you a chance! You can only choose to believe me or not to believe in me. There isn't a third road."

Seeing the Ape King's expression turn hostile, Ye Yuan added on and said, "Don't dream about trapping me here to refine pills for you. Once I have the strength to refine the Demon Manor Pill, I have a thousand ways to make you die unknowingly. You can try if you don't believe!"

The Ape King did not expect that the notion had just jumped to mind and Ye Yuan already guessed it.

He was indeed thinking about keeping Ye Yuan here to refine pills for him just now, but he did not imagine being counter-threatened by Ye Yuan.

Just as Ye Yuan had said, if his Alchemy Dao attainments were truly so high, then he would really have this ability.

Another long bout of silence passed. The Ape King suddenly gave a sigh and said to Ye Yuan, "Fine! For this chance to breakthrough to Tier 4, I'm willing to acknowledge you as my master for ten years!"

Ye Yuan's face did not reveal any surprise. He chuckled loudly when he heard that and said, "Don't worry, following me, Ye Yuan, let alone Tier 4, even Tier 5 Demon Monarch or Tier 6 Demon Ancestor does not amount to much! I don't need ten years. Even I were to chase you away, I'm afraid that you won't be willing to leave my side!"

These words still sounded so rampant and unreliable. In truth, Ye Yuan was afraid of scaring the Ape King, so he held back.

To Ye Yuan, forget about Demon Ancestor, what was difficult about even that Tier 9 Demon Emperor?

The Ape King fully opened up his divine soul. Ye Yuan formed a seal with both hands, and a wisp of soul strength reached into the divine soul of the Ape King.

Regardless whether it was demonic beasts or human martial artists, the divine soul was the most mysterious and also the most fragile place.

The Ape King only felt his divine soul quiver and his entire being feeling like he was dead tired.

The Ape King knew that he and Ye Yuan already set up a soul contract. He shall serve Ye Yuan as his master for ten years.

Currently, the Ape King no longer had his former pride. He said respectfully, "Yuan Fei pays respect to Master."

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "So, you're called Yuan Fei? En, since you acknowledged me as your master, there are some things I wanted to make clear to you."

"Pray tell, master."

"You have your pride as the Ape King, and I also won't control your words and actions as I please. Hence, under most circumstances, you're free. If you sincerely acknowledge me as your master, I can even choose not to use soul strength. That way, you're virtually completely free. However, if I find out that you feign compliance while acting in opposition even just once, I'll use the soul contract without hesitation. Understood?"

"Yuan Fei understands! Don't worry, Master. Since this Yuan Fei chose to follow Master, I naturally won't have other thoughts," Yuan Fei said deferentially.

Methods like soul contracts were actually quite gentle. It primarily looked at the contents of the contract entered by the two parties. Because Yuan Fei and Ye Yuan's soul contract was not on equal footing, Yuan Fei must serve Ye Yuan as master.

Even so, apart from restrictions on the contract and having to do things for Ye Yuan, there was pretty much no difference from normal times.

It was possible to forcefully plant a slave seal to control others. The party being enslaved could not hide any thoughts from the master. That was a true slave and not some master-servant relationship.

There were some even more impressive techniques which could directly obliterate the consciousness of the person being controlled to make him completely submit to his master. As long as the master did not take the initiative to come into contact with the spell, the person being controlled would forever be a walking corpse.

It was precisely because a method like a soul contract was very gentle that Yuan Fei agreed to Ye Yuan.

Otherwise, he would not agree with Ye Yuan and just kill him instead.

One had to acknowledge that Ye Yuan's words dispelled Yuan Fei's last bit of apprehension.

Ye Yuan's meaning was that they were equals. But when Ye Yuan required something, he had to help Ye Yuan unconditionally.

Rather than saying master-servant relationship, they might as well say full-time bodyguard.

Furthermore, Yuan Fei and Ye Yuan had already entered a soul contract. There was also an indistinct hint of telepathy between them.

Yuan Fei could sense that Ye Yuan truly turned his nose up a little at him, this servant.

This sort of turning his nose up was not looking down in disdain, but . . . a sort of indescribable feeling.

Anyway, this master was very mysterious!

"En, don't need to call Master either, just call me Young Master," Ye Yuan instructed.

"Yes, Young Master."

From the beginning since just now, Feng Zhirou's mouth had always been wide open. She was already so amazed that she grinned from ear to ear.

A Tier 3 demonic beast was subdued just like that with a few sentences from Ye Yuan?

This was a Tier 3 demonic beast and not some Tom, Dick, and Harry!

In this thousand mile radius of the Endless Forest, a Tier 3 demonic beast was absolutely a kinglike existence! He actually became Ye Yuan's servant just like that?

She still suspected that Ye Yuan was bragging a little just now, but only when she saw the Ape King's attitude now, did Feng Zhirou become aware of her ignorance.

"You . . . You really subdued him?" Feng Zhirou was still a little hesitant to believe and wished to confirm it from Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Look at his appearance. Is there still anything else to doubt? En, en, with Yuan Fei tagging along, time to beat up Su Yubai first after heading back. Heh heh."

Feng Zhirou was thoroughly defeated by Ye Yuan. At the start, he still had a certain air, but he revealed his true colors in his last sentence.

This fellow was simply a troublemaker!

"But, he's the Ape King! How did you subdue him?" Feng Zhirou could not resist asking again.

"Everybody has a weakness. As long as you grasp their weak point, they can naturally be used by you. To the Ape King, what do you think he desires the most?" Ye Yuan smiled and countered with a question.

Feng Zhirou thought about it after hearing the question. After some time, she answered uncertainly, "Breakthrough to Tier 4? Well, I don't think there's anything with a greater allure than this."

"Smart! Yuan Fei is just like you. If you can't break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, then it would be even more excruciating than killing you. You should be able to understand this sort of feeling," Ye Yuan smiled and said.

"En. En? You actually dare to compare me to a demonic beast?!"

Feng Zhirou nodded her head first but quickly realized that something was wrong and promptly burst into anger.

"Haha! I didn't have that intention. Why are you always so sensitive? Don't hit me! I have a Tier 3 bodyguard now! You can't beat me!"

"Humph! Even if you have a Tier 4 bodyguard, so what? I'll beat you anyway!"

Feng Zhirou simply did not care. She did not believe that Ye Yuan would really dare to make the Ape King come and beat her.

"Ouch, I was wrong, my grandaunt!"

"That's much better!"After a bout of play fighting, a problem remained in front of Ye Yuan.

How should he handle the mountain full of Long-arm Stone Apes?

Once Yuan Fei left with him, this mountain full of Long-arm Stone Apes would lose their support.

In the Endless Forest, Yuan Fei was not the only Tier 3 demonic beast. If he were to leave, these Long-arm Stone Apes would be without a head. Sooner or later, they would be annexed by other forces.

The demonic beast world was at times crueler than the human world. It was impossible for other species to tolerate the Long-arm Stone Apes to continue occupying the mountain and calling themselves king. The final outcome would be complete annihilation.

"Yuan Fei, what about your fellow clansmen? If you leave, they'll probably be swallowed up by other powerful races," Ye Yuan enquired.

Not that Ye Yuan was unwilling to bring them away, but because there were simply too many Long-arm Stone Apes!

If he brought them all away, how would he settle them down?

These Long-arm Stone Apes, when brought outside, could virtually destroy a mortal country. There was no place safe to put such a colossal force.

If somebody with some bad intentions found them, these Long-arm Stone Apes could be in even greater danger than at the Endless Forest!

No matter how powerful Yuan Fei was, he was just a single person. Furthermore, the experts from some of the great sects were even stronger than Yuan Fei!

When Yuan Fei saw that Ye Yuan took the initiative to mention his clansmen, he felt incredibly touched.

If it were some other person, having acquired such a powerful helper, who would bother about the life and death of Yuan Fei's clansmen?

"Don't worry, Young Master. I have an extremely powerful spatial spirit artifact on me. It's ample to store my clansmen and me.

As he said, Yuan Fei flipped over his palm. A small-scale mini palace floated about his palm.

Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "To think it's actually 128 restrictions spatial spirit artifact! This toy is probably extremely rare in the Endless World. Looks like you, Yuan Fei, are really fortuitous! No wonder only you among so many clansmen could awaken inherited memories and breakthrough to Tier 3."

Yuan Fei smiled. "If Young Master can help me breakthrough to Tier 4, you would be Yuan Fei's greatest fortuitous encounter!"

Ye Yuan chortled and said, "Relax. I won't let you down."

A 128 restrictions spirit artifact was practically the utmost limit of a spirit artifact.

If more restrictions were added, the spirit artifact would find it very hard to withstand the oppression of the restrictions. The final outcome would be the destruction of the spirit artifact.

Furthermore, spatial spirit artifacts were extremely scarce. A 128 restrictions spatial spirit artifact was even more valuable then.

If this spirit artifact were known to the outside world, it would surely set off a wave of bloodshed!

Ye Yuan did not expect that Yuan Fei actually possessed such a spirit artifact.

"Where did your spirit artifact come from, Yuan Fei?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

"Back then when I was at peak Tier 2, although I awakened inherited memories, I remained unable to find the juncture for a breakthrough. Hence, I hardened my heart and entered the depths of the Endless Forest alone to seek out the opportunity for a breakthrough. Who knew that I would randomly barge into a human grotto. This spirit artifact was obtained from inside that grotto," Yuan Fei did not hide it and explained to Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan was surprised. "A human grotto? Isn't the Endless Forest under the rule of demonic beasts? Why would there be a human grotto?"

Yuan Fei shook his head and said, "That I don't know. But I acquired this spirit artifact from the outermost area of that grotto. The inhibitions inside are overly powerful. I simply dared not go in too deep. Back then, I obtained several Demon Spirit Pills and this spatial spirit artifact inside the grotto, and then quietly retreated. I only broke through to Tier 3 after swallowing the Demon Spirit Pills."

"Oh? There's actually such things like Demon Spirit Pills inside that human martial artist's grotto? Looks like you, Yuan Fei, really have a tremendous fortune. Your future accomplishments definitely won't be low!" Ye Yuan said admirably.

From Yuan Fei's recount of the situation, his luck was simply freaking amazing!

Yuan Fei was only at peak Tier 2 back then. Entering deep into the Endless Forest was simply no different from courting death. But not only did he not die, he even bafflingly obtained the opportunity to breakthrough and successfully broke through to Tier 3.

And now, Yuan Fei encountered Ye Yuan. This could no longer be described as good luck!

Accompanying by Ye Yuan's side, as long as Yuan Fei did not die, his future accomplishments would be immeasurable!

Just like Yuan Fei said himself, meeting Ye Yuan was his greatest fortune!

"Thank you, Young Master!" Yuan Fei exclaimed respectfully.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Looks like this human grotto should be the temporary dwelling of some extremely powerful existence. This Endless Forest is really such an interesting place!"

Yuan Fei's words filled Ye Yuan with a deep curiosity about that grotto. After he became stronger, he must absolutely pay a visit to that grotto.

"Alright, there's no time to lose. Yuan Fei, quickly pack up and put your clansmen inside the spatial spirit artifact. Then follow me. You and your clansmen just stay inside the spatial spirit artifact normally to cultivate. When I need you, I'll naturally call for you," Ye Yuan instructed.

"Yes, Young Master!" Yuan Fei acknowledged and started to carry out the great migration feat.

This Crimson Summit Ridge was also a rich treasure land. Apart from the Crimson Soul Grass, there were quite a few other precious medicinal herbs.

As for those things, Ye Yuan naturally would not waste them. He made the apes pack them all up and deliver it inside the spatial spirit artifact.

Of course, to the present Ye Yuan, the most precious was still the Crimson Soul Grass.

Ye Yuan got three to four stalks of it from Yuan Fei and made him keep the rest away inside the spatial spirit artifact.

Once everything was settled, Yuan Fei and his clansmen all entered the spatial spirit artifact. Then, the spatial spirit artifact shrunk to become a small bead the size of a soybean and was carried on Ye Yuan's body.Ye Yuan and Feng Zhirou continued down the ridge. The Crimson Summit Ridge originally bustling with noise and excitement was abnormally still now.

But this sort of situation would not last long. What the Endless Forest lacked the least were demonic beasts. This place would soon be occupied by other demonic beasts.

There would naturally be a bout of fighting and killing over this, but that had nothing to do with Ye Yuan.

It could be said that he returned fully loaded from this trip to the Crimson Summit Ridge. Not only did he obtain the Crimson Soul Grass, he even subdued a Tier 3 demonic beast.

Feng Zhirou felt that she was still dreaming even now. This entire day and night's experience was overly bizarre.

"Am I still dreaming, Ye Yuan? Did we really subdue a Tier 3 demonic beast?"

"You can pinch yourself. If it hurts, that means you aren't dreaming. Ouch! I asked you to pinch yourself! What did you pinch me for?"

"You're actually in so much pain. Looks like this really isn't a dream! But I still feel like this isn't real. Ye Yuan, if you let out the Ape King and his clan, wouldn't they be able to directly obliterate the State of Qin?"

Ye Yuan said helplessly, "Don't be silly! Yuan Fei can't be exposed. He can only be used during crucial moments. Just think about it, if a Tier 3 demonic beast appeared in the human territories, what would be the outcome? Furthermore, Yuan Fei and the rest are hiding inside the spatial spirit artifact. If the spatial spirit artifact is exposed, forget about me, even the State of Qin will face annihilation! So we must keep our mouths tightly shut after we return, understood?"

Feng Zhirou had a casual personality. She just felt that having a Tier 3 demonic beasts subordinate was very glorious. She honestly did not think that the consequence would be so severe.

"No way? I was still thinking about bringing Yuan Fei out to show off just now. They actually can't even show their faces?" Feng Zhirou felt dejected.

Ye Yuan put on a solemn face when he saw that and said, "Senior Apprentice Sister, you must treat this matter as if it didn't happen when we return. Or else, the consequences are not something that you and I can bear!"

"Fine, fine! I understood already! I won't even tell Aunty. Just relax!"

Feng Zhirou just had a more roguish personality, but she was no fool. Ye Yuan already spoke to such an extent, she obviously knew propriety.

Especially that spatial spirit artifact. That was virtually a ticking time-bomb!

The duo chatted as they walked and quickly descended the mountain.

The Crimson Soul Grass was already obtained, so the next step was the Pine Yang Fruit.

The place the Pine Yang Fruit grew at was called Gray Pine Forest. It was not really an extremely dangerous place, just the territory of a Tier 2 demonic beast.

Now that they had Yuan Fei, plucking the Pine Yang Fruit was effortless.

Walking, the pair reached a dense forest.

Killing intent appeared in a flash without any warning signs!

An arrow passed through layers of trees and shot toward Ye Yuan's heart at extreme speed!

The distance of this arrow was neither too far nor too near. It made Ye Yuan unable to detect it in advance and also did not give him the slightest bit of time to react!

However, Ye Yuan managed to react to it. His sensitivity towards qi activities was incomparable with regular Essence Qi Realms.

Spirit Void Shattering Space was executed right away as he leaped to the side, barely evading this arrow!

Just as Ye Yuan was planning on summoning Yuan Fei out, warning bells appeared again!

A figure charged out from the grass straight for the direction he dove towards!

That was to say, this evasion by Ye Yuan positioned him perfectly for the next wave of assassination!

A saber beam flashed past, and a powerful aura came from straight ahead. That was a full powered attack from a Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm!

Right at that moment, Ye Yuan also unleashed a palm!

Except that this palm of his was not aimed for the assassin, but towards the ground.

Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Eighth Layer Wave!

Rumble!

Dirt flew everywhere, and then Ye Yuan's figure could be seen forcefully changing its direction, and he had a close shave with that saber!

Chi! This saber still managed to graze lightly Ye Yuan's arm.

However, it was not over yet!

A third attack headed for Ye Yuan once more!

This was a chain assassination precise to the limits!

The other party calculated all of Ye Yuan's reactions!

Ye Yuan was in deadly danger!

The assassination this time was inter-connected, making a chain attack. It virtually took into account Ye Yuan's every reaction!

Just now, Ye Yuan borrowed the recoil from the Eighth Layer Wave to barely avoid the second attack.

But now, Ye Yuan was in midair. The third attack connected seamlessly without giving Ye Yuan any opportunity to catch his breath.

The grasp on timing was precise, and coordination was marvelous. It was virtually flawless!

More importantly, the strengths of these three people were extremely strong. All of them at the Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and above.

For three Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and above martial artists to lay down such an ingenious killing trap, it was simply an unavoidable certain death scenario!

"Ahh! Ye Yuan!" Feng Zhirou also reacted in a flash and was about to go over and help Ye Yuan.

But right then, another figure flashed out and shot directly at Feng Zhirou.

"Your opponent is me!" An azure figure attacked Feng Zhirou with unimaginable speed.

"It's you, Su Yishan!" Feng Zhirou angrily exclaimed in shock.

The two people instantly exchanged a blow. They were actually on par.

"Heh heh, if not, who do you think it is? Nanfeng Zhirou, this young master has chased after you for so much, but you refused to give any face. Today, I'm going to let you taste this young master's prowess!" Su Yishan smiled nastily.

As the Su Family's young patriarch, Su Yishan was naturally aware of Nanfeng Zhirou's true identity.

The Su Family's relationship with the Imperial Family had always been very delicate. Su Yishan had also pursued Nanfeng Zhirou for a very long time in the academy, but Nanfeng Zhirou always spoke bluntly to him.

Su Yishan had been pursuing Nanfeng Zhirou. On the one hand, it was in consideration for the Su Family's interests. On the other hand, it was obviously because of Nanfeng Zhirou's beauty.

Not only was Nanfeng Zhirou's looks outstanding, but she was also a famous ice beauty. How could Su Yishan not be moved?

Nanfeng Zhirou involuntarily flew into a great rage upon seeing Su Yishan tease her with words. "Such gall, Su Yishan! I'll definitely return and report to Imperial Father about this incident and make him administer punishment onto your Su Family!"

Su Yishan sneered coldly and said, "Then, you have to be able to go back first!Hehe, the dazzlingly gorgeous Senior Apprentice Sister and the super genius both fell in the Endless Forest. Truly lamentable!"

"With the likes of you?" Nanfeng Zhirou said with similarly a cold sneer.Over here, Su Yishan intercepted Nanfeng Zhirou. On the other side, Ye Yuan already arrived at the critical juncture of life and death!

Ye Yuan could naturally call out Yuan Fei at this time, but after he summoned him, he would already be a dead man.

The Chang trio brothers were clearly unaware that Ye Yuan had subdued Yuan Fei, but their chain assassination this time coincidentally sealed shut the possibility of Ye Yuan summoning Yuan Fei!

Chang One was born cautious. His investigation concerning Ye Yuan was also quite thorough.

Regardless of how much of a wastrel Ye Yuan was in the past, he was now currently an opponent that barred absolutely no negligence!

If they looked down on Ye Yuan just because he was at the Essence Qi Realm, they would definitely suffer a huge loss.

In reality, Ye Yuan's performance affirmed Chang One's thoughts.

If it were some other Essence Qi Realm martial artist, that deadly arrow from Chang Three would have already pierced through his heart. But not only did Ye Yuan evade Chang Three's arrow under the situation where it was impossible to change his body's inertia, he forcefully altered directions in midair!

This could no longer be described as being tough!

Two Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm's immaculate assassination was actually dodged ingeniously by a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm!

But that was alright because Chang One himself was the person in charge of the final strike!

Chang One, a Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm expert!

Since the beginning when Ye Yuan entered the area they were lying in wait, Chang One was already accumulating his energy and waiting to release it, all for this final lethal blow.

This strike was a Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist's most powerful strike!

Due to the addition of that Eighth Layer Wave from Ye Yuan earlier, his current airborne speed was even faster than before!

And Chang One's speed was greater than Chang Two's. That was to say that Ye Yuan's and Chang One's speed which was greater than Chang Two's were coming together!

Chang One also used a sword. It seemed as if he already saw the result of Ye Yuan being gored through and breathing his last.

"Ah! Careful, Ye Yuan!"

Nanfeng Zhirou was entangled by Su Yishan and could not free herself. But she saw the scene of Ye Yuan about to be killed.

"Better take care of yourself first, Princess Nanfeng!"

Seeing Nanfeng Zhirou's reaction, Su Yishan also felt a wave of delight. That hateful Ye Yuan was finally about to die!

Boom!

Nanfeng Zhirou was sent flying and spat out blood on the spot.

But at the same time, the script did not play out according to Chang One's plan.

The tip of Chang One's sword was about to stab Ye Yuan when the scene before his eyes suddenly blurred. Nine Ye Yuans actually appeared at the same time in front of him!

Afterimages?

Ye Yuan was currently airborne, how could he possibly create afterimages?

And these nine Ye Yuans were incomparably realistic. Just which one was the real body?

Chang One's divine sense swept across these nine figures instantaneously, but to his shock, he discovered that these nine silhouettes were actually all real bodies!

What sort of situation was this? Seeing ghosts?

However, Chang One was currently like an arrow fitted to a string, being at the point of no return. He could not tolerate any hint of hesitation.

"Humph, paltry tricks! It's just camouflage!"

Chang One chose the centermost Ye Yuan without hesitation. That was also his initial target.

Creating afterimages under this sort of situation, it was ten to one a camouflage. The aim was to confound Chang One's senses.

And the true body had never changed from the very beginning!

Swoosh!

Chang One's body passed through the afterimage just like that.

There was no unsmooth feeling of penetrating a body. He passed through the air!

Chang One's heart involuntarily sunk.

To deal with a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, the three brothers employed all of their skills to its limits and meticulously laid out this certain death situation. The result was just making Ye Yuan suffer some light injuries?

When setting up the scenario, Chang One had absolute confidence that let alone a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, even a Seventh Level Spirit Condensation Realm would suffer major losses when caught unprepared.

Towards Ye Yuan, Chang One had already placed great emphasis until he could not think any higher of him. But the outcome still exceeded his expectations.

All the way up to now, Chang One could not figure out just how Ye Yuan created eight afterimages while in an airborne state.

Also, just which one was his real body?

Bang!

The Ye Yuan behind Chang One fell heavily onto the ground. Chang One also landed softly, appearing to be very relaxed without Ye Yuan's shabby appearance.

Ye Yuan stood up and dusted off the grass bits on his body and said calmly, "I really have to thank the three of you. Without you guys, I'm afraid that my Nine Swords Stance wouldn't be completed so quickly!"

On the boundary of imminent danger, Ye Yuan remained calm and immediately entered Heart Like Still Water state.

Under that sort of situation just now, the more he panicked, the more certain he would die.

Ye Yuan understood that to shake off this strike, he could only utilize the Nine Swords Stance's movement technique!

But his Nine Swords Stance was incomplete. There must be a foothold to execute the movement technique, but he was currently suspended in midair.

In the moment of crisis, relying on Heart Like Still Water state, Ye Yuan stimulated his potential to the greatest extent and finally completed the Nine Swords Stance!

Chapter 144: You're Really a Genius!

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

Meanwhile, the Chang Brothers gathered together. The complexions of the trio did not look too good.

Hearing the meaning of Ye Yuan's words, their painstakingly designed killing scenario actually helped Ye Yuan to have a breakthrough!

That movement technique just now was very profound. Even Chang One, the Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, was actually unable to differentiate which was the true body.

"Ye Yuan, you aren't naïve enough to think that you can retreat safely after evading our ambush, right? Although that move just now was incomparably profound, your cultivation realm is still too low," Chang One said in a low voice.

Chang One designed this death trap as a precautionary resolute measure to resolve a complicated problem. All done to prevent unnecessary complications.

Even if they did not ambush, with his cultivation realm, killing Ye Yuan was as easy as taking something out of his pockets. Not to mention there were even Chang Two and Chang Three by his sides.

"Hur hur, you guys are thinking too much. Why do I have to retreat? If I didn't have a breakthrough at the last moment just now, I would already have been killed by you all. How can I let you off so easily?"

Though Ye Yuan said these words while smiling, those familiar with him knew that Ye Yuan was truly enraged!

It was just that Ye Yuan's threat sounded rather comical. A Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm rookie actually threatening three Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and above experts. No matter how they looked at it, it just seemed like stubbornness.

When Ye Yuan finished talking, the Chang Trio Brothers involuntarily exchanged glances. They were wondering if Ye Yuan had a problem with his brain.

With their understanding of Ye Yuan, while Ye Yuan might be very unbridled, he never did something he had no confidence in.

However, the current circumstances did not seem to allow him to be overbearing.

Ye Yuan could not naively think that he was a match for the three of them, right?

"Ye Yuan, I think that you haven't made clear of the situation, right?" Chang One asked rather bafflingly.

"Of course I understand the situation. The three of you are the Su Family's lackeys, right? Received that old dog Su Yubai's order to come and kill me, yes? No?" Ye Yuan scoffed coldly.

Chang One had clearly heard of the power of Ye Yuan's eloquence, so he did not plan on bickering with him. He nodded and said, "You're mistaken. Elder Su did not order us to come. We're under the family head's command to come and kill you."

Ye Yuan was taken quite by surprise. "Family Head? Su Yishan's old man? Well, same thing! Looks like I really have to give a good one to the Su Family when I return. Otherwise, they will really think that this little lord is nice to provoke!"

Chang One felt rather confused. Although he went through an in-depth investigation on Ye Yuan before this task, this was his first time meeting Ye Yuan after all.

Only now did he discover that Ye Yuan's personality was entirely different from what he understood.

In his impression, Ye Yuan was calm and steady, seemed like he was reckless, but entrenched himself at every step.

But now, Ye Yuan was clearly an incomprehensible good-for-nothing from a wealthy family. He completely could not make clear of the situation!

If not for Ye Yuan's performance being overly stunning just now, Chang One might even think that Ye Yuan was a moron.

Just as Chang One was dazed, Ye Yuan pointed at his nose and scolded, "Hey, do the three of you still have a sense of shame? A Sixth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, two Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, came to kill me and yet dare not do it openly. Instead, you guys used this sort of underhanded sneak attack tactics! Indeed, the type of master one has will have the same kind of lackeys! Su Yubai that old dog is also so sinister and enjoys sneak attacking others! You are all indeed cut from the same cloth!"

Chang One was scolded by Ye Yuan until he was stupefied. He unwittingly started to doubt his own judgment.

Could it be that Ye Yuan this fellow was really just a hothead? A 100% good-for-nothing silkpants?

Of course, Ye Yuan's talent was beyond all doubts. He was definitely a peerless genius. Even the young patriarch, Su Yishan, would have to admit defeat.

Other than this, was Ye Yuan really a rash fellow?

Was his actions back in the Dan Wu Academy just a random coincidence?

Ye Yuan finished scolding the Chang Brothers and turned his head toward Su Yishan. He started to cursed, "Su Yishan, you tortoise's grandson! You only know how to bully women! If you have the capabilities, then come and one on one with this Little Lord! Spineless fellow! Want to kill me but dare not make a move in the academy. You even run all the way to the Endless Forest to do this. In the future when the Su Family lands in your hands, it will be squandered away to nothingness eventually! Oh no, the Su Family won't be able to exist for a long time. When I go back, I'm going to beat the Su Family until they can't raise their heads!"

Su Yishan was currently in a heated battle with Nanfeng Zhirou when he suddenly heard Ye Yuan's cursing and could not help burning with rage after hearing it.

Forcing Nanfeng Zhirou back with a blow, Su Yishan arrived in front of Ye Yuan with a few leaps.

Nanfeng Zhirou also followed tightly behind and came to Ye Yuan's side. Both parties entered a stalemate.

Ye Yuan casually fished out a medicinal pill and threw it to Nanfeng Zhirou. Then he said with a smile, "It's been hard on you, Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng. Eat it. No need to mind this sort of small injuries."

Nanfeng Zhirou caught the medicinal pill but lowered her head instead. She knew that her identity had already been made aware to Ye Yuan, making it rather awkward.

"Don't get cocky, Ye Yuan! Even if you avoided the Chang Brothers' ambush, do you think that you can still exit the Endless Forest today?" Su Yishan was displeased when he saw Ye Yuan's composed appearance.

Shouldn't the current Ye Yuan be in a panic?

Ye Yuan stared at Su Yishan and said with a smile, "I don't plan on leaving the Endless Forest."

"Humph! Good that you know!"

"The Endless Forest is so fun! I still plan on playing for a few more days! As for whether you guys can walk out or not, that I dare not guarantee."

"Is your brain spoilt, Ye Yuan? Can't you tell what kind of situation you two are currently in? Just now, I heard that you want to fight one on one, yeah?" Su Yishan stared at Ye Yuan like he was looking at a fool.

Ye Yuan beamed and said, "That's right. Does the dignified Su Family's Young Patriarch only know how to bully women? If you have the capability, let's go one-on-one!"

"Hahahaha!" Su Yishan roared with laughter when he heard that and said, "Alright, I'll fight you one on one! But . . . it's us as a group fighting you alone!"

Ye Yuan's face fell after hearing that, and he said in terror, "Su Yishan! Are you a man or not?! If you have the capabilities, let's fight one-on-one!"

Seeing Ye Yuan's appearance, Su Yishan felt incredibly venting. He chuckled and said, "Ye Yuan, I think your brain really broke down! The four of us combined can kill you like slaughtering a dog! Why should I entertain you with a duel? Do you think this is the academy?"

Ye Yuan stared at Su Yishan who looked proud of himself and suddenly grinned, smiling very happily.

"You can still laugh when death is knocking, Ye Yuan? I got to hand it to you. Chang One, Chang Two, Chang Three, kill Ye Yuan! Leave Nanfeng Zhirou alive, I still have a use for her!" Su Yishan ordered.

While the Chang Brothers were secretly displeased that Su Yishan was still lustful at such a time, they would not refute Su Yishan's words. After all, he was the future Su Family's family head.

Just as the Chang Brothers were prepared to make a move, their face suddenly changed!

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

In a blink, hundreds of white colored apes appeared in front of their eyes, enclosing them in the center together with Ye Yuan.

The weakest one of these white apes was at the Initial Stage Tier 2!

"Haha, Su Yishan! I found out that I really like your idea of one on one! All of us versus you guys! Man, you're really a genius to even come up with this sort of one on one method!" Ye Yuan looked at Su Yishan as he burst into laughter.

"Wha-What's going on?"

Su Yishan stared wide-eyed at this unbelievable scene and could not even hear Ye Yuan's mocking him.

Several hundred Long-arm Stone Apes appearing out of thin air. This visual impact was seriously enormous!

With their vision filled with Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes, this sort of pressure was absolutely unforgettable for life.

Su Yishan could even feel his own legs quivering!

Not just Su Yishan, the Chang Brothers were also completely dumbstruck at the moment. Even though they had experienced too many things, they had never seen such a huge occasion before!

These hundreds of Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes was enough to plow the Su Family one time over.

Although the majority of these Long-arm Stone Apes were at Initial Stage Tier 2, there were also quite a number of Middle Stage and Late Stage Tier 2.

Just one Middle Stage Tier 2 demonic beast was enough for him to choke over. What kind of outcome if hundreds were added up?

At this moment, their nerves were already tensed to the limits.

"Spatial spirit artifact! It must be a spatial spirit artifact! If not, it's impossible to contain so many demonic beasts! Ye Yuan, he . . . actually has a spatial spirit artifact!" Chang One suddenly exclaimed in shock.

"Spa-Spatial spirit artifact? H-How's that possible?" Even though the truth was in front of his eyes, Su Yishan still felt that it was unreal.

"That's right. It is indeed a spatial spirit artifact. I didn't think that you would have such knowledge, quite a figure. However, you offended this Young Master. This is the most foolish thing you've done in your entire life!"

Although it was just a few short breaths of exchange, Ye Yuan could tell that among these four people, Chang One served as a brain-center character.

With Su Yishan's personality, it was impossible to lay down such an elaborate killing trap to wait for the hare to land in it.

The absolute strength of the four of them was much greater than Ye Yuan's pair. There was simply no need to be so cautious.

That final strike from Chang One was remarkably brilliant. In fact, it was a flawless blow. Ye Yuan truly arrived at the borders of life and death at that time.

If not for him remaining calm in the final hour of peril and having broken through at the last moment, he would already be a corpse now.

From this, one could see that this Chang One was absolutely a very nasty character to deal with!

But sadly, his opponent was Ye Yuan! He was a young master who would definitely avenge any grievances, not some old good-two-shoes who returned good for evil.

Towards Ye Yuan's words, Chang One did not refute them, because he knew that what Ye Yuan said was the truth.

The stupidest thing that he, Chang One, ever did in his life was to offend Ye Yuan!

Chang One was naturally crystal clear on Ye Yuan's actions in the Dan Wu Academy and knew about his personality of seeking revenge for the smallest grievance. Hence, he dismissed the thought of begging for mercy.

"Fight it out, brothers! Ignore those demonic beasts and directly kill Ye Yuan!" Chang One was also a very decisive person as he directly laid down an order.

When Chang One's command was issued, he took the lead to burst towards Ye Yuan. Chang Two and Chang Three and Big Brother had incredible synergy. Following closely behind, the trio charged towards Ye Yuan in a triangle formation.

This was Chang One's dying act. Facing so many Tier 2 demonic beasts, he did not feel that he could kill Ye Yuan. However, what made Chang One speechless and pleasantly surprised was that these Tier 2 demonic beasts actually did not react at all to this!

These demonic beasts unexpectedly did not move out to stop the three of them!

Could it be that these demonic beasts were just what Ye Yuan pulled out to intimidate them? Ye Yuan could not command these demonic beasts at all?

This discovery filled Chang One with wild elation!

"Haha! Nearly got hoodwinked by you! So, you can't command these demonic beasts at all! Brothers, kill him with me!" Chang One roared with laughter.

Ye Yuan did not take any actions. He just looked at Chang One with a smile that was not a smile filled with ridicule.

"Humph! At gates of death already and yet, you're still pretending there! Wind Thunder Sword!"

Chang One's sword appeared in front of Ye Yuan once again. But this time around, Ye Yuan did not exhaust all his energies to defend. He remained motionless there.

Right at this moment, a white figure flashed out from the side and grabbed hold of Chang One's sword very violently, twisting it into scrap metal.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

One exchange, three palms landed respectively on Chang One, Chang Two, and Chang Three's chest.

This figure was as fast as lightning. The three of them did not even make clear of what it was before being sent flying out.

"Ti-Tier 3 demonic beast!"

Chang One's face finally flickered as he stared at that white ape built like an iron pagoda in horror. Only now did he know why Ye Yuan did not move this whole time. Because he did not need to move at all.

With a Tier 3 demonic beast guarding by the side, why would he need to make a move personally?

However . . . why would a Tier 3 demonic beast obey Ye Yuan? He was merely an Essence Qi Realm martial artist!

Chang One suddenly recalled that Ye Yuan had just descended down the Crimson Summit Ridge and finally understood some things. His complexion changed greatly against his will!

"You . . . you brought the entire Crimson Summit Ridge's Long-arm Stone Ape clan under your control?" Chang One stared at Ye Yuan with dread.

"Hur hur, you finally realized. I even thought that you were pretty smart. Didn't think that you're so slow! That's right. Yuan Fei and his clansmen will be following me in the future."

Of course, it was not because Chang One was dumb, but because the impact he received today was too tremendous.

An Essence Qi Realm martial artist subduing the entire Crimson Summit Ridge's Long-arm Stone Ape clan. If this spread out, other people would surely treat him like a lunatic!

However, this sort of impossible matter genuinely happened!

"H-How's this possible? The Ape King is a Tier 3 demonic beast. Why would he willingly obey you? Also, humans and demonic beast have a language barrier. How can you possibly subdue him?" Chang One questioned unwillingly.

"Do you feel that I have a need to answer your question?" Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.

Chang One only asked because of the burning uncertainty in his heart. Truthfully, he did not hope for Ye Yuan to answer him.

Chang One sighed and shut his eyes painfully. He gave a long exhalation and said, "Sigh, the Su Family going against you is the Su Family's greatest failure! Perhaps the Su Family will vanish entirely from the scene of the State of Qin because of this! Make your move!"

Yuan Fei waved his long arm, and immediately, over a dozen Tier 2 Long-arm Stone Apes rushed up, carrying away the Chang Brothers who already had no means to retaliate.

Before long, blood-curdling screams came from far away, making the scalp of those who heard it tingle.

The Long-arm Stone Apes were originally wild and untamable. They had always just killed any human martial artists they saw. Only Ye Yuan who knew the universal beast language could communicate with Yuan Fei who activated his spiritual wisdom. Otherwise, their end result would not be much better than the Chang Brothers.

Each one of the wretched screams transmitted into Su Yishan's ear, impacting his mind repeatedly. It already completely collapsed his mental defense.

Su Yishan only abruptly roused with a jerk after Ye Yuan slowly walked towards him. He retreated non-stop, all the way until he bumped into a Long-arm Stone Ape before jumping in fright and dodging hurriedly.

"Y-Ye Yuan, I-I was wrong, I deserve death! I deserve death! I beg you, please don't kill me! It's all because Su Yubai that old bastard forced me! It's all because he forced me!"

Su Yishan could not hold on any longer and slammed his knees onto the ground as he begged for mercy by shouting himself hoarse.

Chapter 146: Feeding Moves

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

Ye Yuan looked at Su Yishan kneeling on the ground with snot dripping from his nose and said with a smile, "I also didn't say that I'm killing you, Young Master Su! Look how frightened you are!"

Su Yishan was already like a bird startled by the twang of a bowstring right now. His brain was already no longer in charge.

Hearing that Ye Yuan had the intention to let him off, he spontaneously became overjoyed and said, "Y-you're for real? Th-then I can go?"

"Of course you can't go. All of my secrets have already been seen by you. If you were to leave and spread outside that I possess a spatial spirit artifact, then wouldn't I die without a burial place?"

Su Yishan was so terrified that his legs weakened. Ye Yuan's meaning was to kill him for sure.

"Don't worry, I can swear a Heavenly Dao Oath to absolutely not spread the things I saw today!" Su Yishan then raised his hand and looked as if he was really about to swear a Heavenly Dao Oath.

Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "That isn't necessary, Su Yishan. I'll give you a chance; a chance to fight one-on-one! After you kill me, you can leave this place."

Su Yishan was stunned and quickly returned to his wailing and said, "Y-Young Master Ye, Great Hero Ye, I really know that I was wrong. I shouldn't have opposed you. I shouldn't have brought people into the Endless Forest to come and kill you."

Ye Yuan also did not expect Su Yishan to be so spineless. That normally haughty bearing was all gone. At this time, he was like a despicable person devoid of any sense of shame.

Sometimes, people were like that. Without arriving at the final juncture of life and death, one could never see through a person's true character.

People who normally appeared to be incomparably lofty would become shamelessly menial when facing death, while those who typically appeared to live a licentious life and had improper conduct would remain incomparably unperturbed in the face of death.

There were numerous manners of life.

It was very clear that Su Yishan belonged to the former.

If Ye Yuan made the Long-arm Stone Apes attack, Su Yishan might still give a desperate struggle. But Ye Yuan surrounded him and did not kill him yet. Also, with the Chang Brothers' horrifying way of dying as the precedent, Su Yishan's mind collapsed entirely.

Ye Yuan suddenly pulled a long face and said solemnly, "I have no time to joke with you! If you don't want this opportunity, I can kill you right now."

The current Su Yishan was clearly someone who yielded to force but refused a soft approach. With Ye Yuan riling up, the words sunk into Su Yishan instead.

"Bu-but . . ." Su Yishan stammered.

"But I'm not a match for you, right?" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Su Yishan lowered his head. Clearly, he tacitly agreed. But at such a time, he did not dare to say these words out.

"This Little Lord asks to fight one-on-one, it means one-on-one with you. You don't need to doubt this. However, the one-on-one I mentioned is not right now. There are also conditions for giving you this chance."

Hearing Ye Yuan say that, Su Yishan's eyes lit up as he felt like he had grasped hold of his final life-saving straw.

"What conditions? As long I can do it, I'll comply!"

"Well, I feel that my cultivation is almost consolidated. After my cultivation realm consolidates, I can break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. At that time, we'll have a deathmatch! But before then, in order to help me consolidate my cultivation realm, I'll have to trouble you to feed me moves," Ye Yuan said.

"Spi-Spirit Condensation Realm? So quickly?" Su Yishan was stunned.

Ye Yuan had just broken through to peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm not long ago. He was going to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm now?

Who among martial artists when breaking through a major realm was not filled with trepidation as if they were treading on thin ice?

Back then when Su Yishan broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, he prepared for a full half year, all the way until he was very certain before he dared to take this step.

And at that time, Su Yishan was already at half-step Spirit Condensation Realm.

Ye Yuan was obviously still just peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm now. Could it be that he wanted to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm directly?

Wasn't this too exaggerated?

In the State of Qin, breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm must go through the process of half-step Spirit Condensation Realm. This was something everyone knew. Never had anyone been foolish enough to directly breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm.

Not that it was impossible to breakthrough directly, but because the success rate of a direct breakthrough was too low. So low that nobody dared to attempt this step!

The success rate of breaking through directly from Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm to Spirit Condensation Realm was so low that it was negligible!

With such a low success rate, who would dare to try it rashly?

Ye Yuan had not broken through to Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm for long. Now, he wanted to directly breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm. Was this possible?

"None of your business whether it's fast or not. Either way, you can forget about escaping if I don't break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. Hence, you'd better pray for me to breakthrough earlier," Ye Yuan said coolly.

"B-but if I win you, what if you go back on your words then?" Su Yishan was not a fool either and enquired about his doubts.

"Hur hur, that will have to depend on my mood. Doesn't matter to me anyway. But you can't not take this gamble! Lose, you're a dead man. Win, you can go back and continue to be the Su Family's young master! This is your only chance. Up to you whether you want to or not," Ye Yuan said indifferently.

"D-don't . . . I want this chance! Of course I want this chance!" Su Yishan hurriedly said.

This was Su Yishan's sole lease on life. He would be a fool to give it up.

Ye Yuan could completely make those demonic beasts destroy him right now, but he just had to find trouble for himself. How could Su Yishan give up this opportunity?

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you have to remember, you can only defend and not attack! Fully be my human sandbag! At that time, I'll let Yuan Fei watch the battle by the side. If you have the slightest intention to attack, you'll die horribly!"

Su Yishan had certainly thought of harming Ye Yuan when the latter was feeding moves, but now that Ye Yuan said that, he immediately tossed this idea out of his mind.

You got to be joking. A Tier 3 demonic beast watching the fight by the side, if he revealed even a trace of killing intent, the other party would finish him off without hesitation.

If Ye Yuan was an ordinary Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, then forget about it. However, it was impossible for Su Yishan to kill in one strike with Ye Yuan's practical combat abilities.

Hence, he better obediently became his human sandbag."Are you joking, Ye Yuan? You're only at the peak Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm, not even at half-step Spirit Condensation Realm. How are you going to breakthrough to Spirit Condensation Realm? Ah! I know already! You must be messing with Su Yishan!" Nanfeng Zhirou was pleasantly surprised that she discovered something.

However, Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm within a few days is a must. It has to happen even if it can't! If I don't break through, I can't even refine the Essence Yang Pill, and Lu-er can't be saved. Therefore, I have to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm by hook or by crook."

"But . . . you aren't even half-step Spirit Condensation Realm!"

"What kind of crap is half-step Spirit Condensation Realm? Essence Qi Realm to Spirit Condensation Realm is meant to be done in one shot. You people separating it into half-step Spirit Condensation Realm and Spirit Condensation Realm are actually self-ruining your foundations, making Spirit Condensation Realm's foundation unstable!" Upon mentioning half-step Spirit Condensation Realm, Ye Yuan's face was filled with contempt.

"But . . . everybody impacts the Spirit Condensation Realm from half-step Spirit Condensation Realm. Could everyone be wrong?" Nanfeng Zhirou refused to accept.

Ye Yuan retorted with a question after hearing that, "Are those everyone you say more amazing than my master when added up? My master said it's good to break through directly. Do you think that he would harm me?"

". . ." Nanfeng Zhirou had nothing to refute with.

Chapter 147: Commencing Breakthrough!

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

Rumble!

An Eighth Layer Wave from Ye Yuan was easily warded off by Su Yishan.

Chi!

Another Absolute Yang Finger from Ye Yuan shot towards Su Yishan with abnormally fierce, incomparable force, but was defended by him again.

However, Ye Yuan did not feel dispirited. In fact, he became more excited as he fought.

He completely did not need to consider the problem of defense as he unleashed all the moves he knew over and over again.

While the threat to Su Yishan was not great, the other party was very ragged looking.

Ye Yuan's attack was not something which could be released by the average Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. Even if he did not use his strongest trump card, the Nine Swords Stance, his attacks could cause substantial damage to Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists.

If Su Yishan had not broken through to the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, just these moves could exhaust him to death.

Furthermore, Ye Yuan was attacking all out wildly while Su Yishan could only endure being hit. Under the waxing and waning, Ye Yuan's attack became fiercer.

Ye Yuan already continued the reckless attacks for two days.

These two days, apart from eating, sleeping, and mediation, Ye Yuan spent the rest of the time training with Su Yishan.

With such a free human sandbag, hitting it was very delightful and satisfactory.

The more Ye Yuan hit, the more excited he got. The more he hit, the more he did not know fatigue. Sometimes, when he got excited, he could fight for several hours at a time.

In contrast, Su Yishan was already on the verge of collapse being tormented by Ye Yuan.

He simply could not understand how Ye Yuan had such incredible endurance when he was merely a Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm.

With such a powerful attack, logically speaking, the expenditure of essence energy should be enormous. But Ye Yuan could fight for several hours at a time and did not need to consume Qi Returning Pills!

Even if he was the one doing the frenzied attacks, he probably could not sustain for two hours!

However, were Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm and Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm on the same level?

Not that Su Yishan did not think of sneak attacking Ye Yuan, but Yuan Fei's aura remained indistinctly locked onto him this whole time, leaving him not daring to make any reckless moves at all.

Su Yishan believed that as long as he retaliated once, what awaited him was definitely a lightning blow!

He had already witnessed the terror of this Ape King. He was completely unable to last even a round with him.

These two days, Yuan Fei had also been observing Ye Yuan's wanton attacks the whole time. At times, his gaze was shining. It was uncertain what he was thinking.

Rather, it was Nanfeng Zhirou who had nothing to do these two days. But she also had a knot in her heart which was unresolved and was somewhat weighed down with worries.

Ye Yuan had heard 'Nanfeng' this surname. Most likely, he already guessed her identity.

'Nanfeng' was the imperial surname. Nobody was unaware of it in the State of Qin.

Nanfeng Zhirou and her aunty were already considered very good friends with Ye Yuan. But they had always concealed their identity. No matter what, it was not very justifiable.

These two days, Ye Yuan was consolidating his cultivation realm at full force, so he completely did not bother about this matter. Once he broke through his cultivation realm, would he dig into this matter? Would he drift away from her?

Nanfeng Zhirou started to become somewhat anxious about her gains and losses.After another day passed, Ye Yuan continued to unleash his wanton attacks on Su Yishan as usual.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan halted his attacks and sat down crossed-legged.

Yuan Fei narrowed his eyes and seemed to have guessed something. His body moved, and he instantly appeared between Ye Yuan and Su Yishan, isolating the two.

Su Yishan also seemed to have guessed something and knew that it was impossible for Yuan Fei to give him the opportunity to get close to Ye Yuan. Hence, he withdrew to the sides sensibly and meditated on his own.

Ye Yuan wanted to breakthrough, and Su Yishan also needed to recuperate.

Though he did not feel that Ye Yuan could directly breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm, it was still best to prepare for everything!

What kind of joke was this? Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm directly breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. Even his old man did not dare to do that back then!

Not only his father, Su Yulin, but also Lord Dean, Wan Donghai, Nanfeng Yi, these well-known Crystal Formation Realm experts, who among them was not a peerless talent back then?

But not one of them dared to directly breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm when they were at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm!

What kind of joke was this?

Transitioning from half-step Spirit Condensation Realm was the method to impact the Spirit Condensation Realm fumbled out by countless ancestors. Does Ye Yuan wish to challenge countless ancestors with his own strength?

Even a genius like Su Yishan prepared for a full half years' time.

Back then when Nanfeng Zhirou broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, the amount of time she prepared for was a little lesser than Su Yishan, but there was still four to five months' time.

However, Ye Yuan did not make any preparations at all. He only used a few days to consolidate his cultivation realm and then directly initiated breakthrough.

If he succeeded, then what did they, these so-called geniuses, even count as?

Nanfeng Zhirou saw that Ye Yuan was preparing to breakthrough and also became nervous immediately.

Even though Ye Yuan said it like he was very confident, this sort of matter like challenging the limits known to martial artists still made Nanfeng Zhirou feel quite worried.

A major realm could not be broken through as and when one liked. Facing the breakthrough to Spirit Condensation Realm, nobody dared to be negligent in the least bit.

Because if the assault failed, they would suffer varying degrees of injuries, possibly even facing the risk of a drop in cultivation!

Although it could be cultivated back once more, the difficulty when impacting the bottleneck next time would increase tremendously!

This was also why all martial artists would be extremely prudent when breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm.

"You must succeed, Ye Yuan!" Nanfeng Zhirou silently cheered.

She knew that if Ye Yuan could not break through, Lu-er would die for sure.

Once Lu-er dies, the blow to Ye Yuan would definitely be huge!

This was something which Nanfeng Zhirou did not wish to see.

Ye Yuan just sat cross-legged like that for an hour, the aura on his body gradually stabilizing.

His eyes suddenly snapped open. Retrieving a Spirit Surge Pill from his storage ring to consume, he said to Yuan Fei, "Yuan Fei, help to guard me. I'm going to begin the breakthrough. Eye Su Yishan properly and don't let him escape."

"Be at ease and breakthrough, Young Master. There's Yuan Fei here for everything," Yuan Fei answered.

Ye Yuan nodded and shut his eyes again.

Not far away, Su Yishan witnessed this scene and was secretly alarmed in his heart.

Ye Yuan could actually really communicate with this demonic beast!

No wonder he could subdue this Tier 3 demonic beast!

There was really innumerable secrets on Ye Yuan's body!

Ye Yuan adjusted his condition and consumed the Spirit Surge Pill, and he officially commenced the attempt to break through into the Spirit Condensation Realm!

While the onlookers felt that Ye Yuan impacting the Spirit Condensation Realm was filled with incomparable danger, to the party involved, Ye Yuan, it was not really a very amazing thing.

His understanding towards heaven and earth essence energy surpassed any so-called expert in the State of Qin considerably.

Those Crystal Formation Realm experts' understanding towards heaven and earth essence energy was not even fit to carry shoes for Ye Yuan.

To them, the Spirit Condensation Realm was a massive ridge. To Ye Yuan, the Spirit Condensation Realm was merely a small threshold; that's all.

The Spirit Surge Pill entering his abdomen was just like tossing a small pebble onto the surface of a peaceful lake; breaking the original equilibrium state of essence energy within Ye Yuan's body.

Practically instantaneously, the essence energy within Ye Yuan's Dantian seethed!

Woo! Woo!

A whirlwind started to howl underneath Ye Yuan. This whirlwind continuously enlarged, expanding more, whipping up fallen leaves.

The essence energy tempest! Commenced!

Chapter 148: Nine Drops of Spirit Liquid!

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

A vortex formed from the essence energy tempest brought forth a violent tornado, and this storm grew increasingly larger!

The Endless Forest was originally a land rich with essence energy. Ye Yuan recklessly absorbed all the essence energy converging without any care, flowing into his dantian.

"En? What's going on? This essence energy storm is not right!" Su Yishan exclaimed in shock.

Back then, the essence energy storm he caused when he himself broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm was simply a small apprentice in the presence of a great sorcerer when compared to Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan's essence energy tempest gave him the feeling like it was a great flood or savage beast, incomparably violent.

With such violent and turbulent essence energy gushing into the dantian ceaselessly, would it not burst the dantian?

"Hehe, burst it! Burst it! Let's see how you posture after it bursts!" Su Yishan was chuckling inwardly over his misfortune.

But just as he was taking pleasure in the misfortune of others, his collar was suddenly grabbed from behind, lifting him up like carrying a baby chick.

Yuan Fei carried Su Yishan and speedily headed for the distance. Nanfeng Zhirou followed behind them.

The essence energy tempest formed from Ye Yuan's breakthrough grew larger and larger, almost about to spread over here. Hence, Yuan Fei decisively brought everyone to retreat a certain distance away.

Su Yishan who was being dragged felt unbearable shame and humiliation. But facing a Tier 3 demonic beast, what could he do?

He did not wish to end up like the Chang Brothers, being torn to shreds by those damnable apes!

Yuan Fei landed far away after a few flashes; roughly a thousand feet away from Ye Yuan.

Even with such a distance, they could still feel that surging essence energy storm.

The expansion of the essence energy storm showed no signs of stopping. Instead, it grew even larger.

Ye Yuan was situated in the eye of the essence energy storm, oblivious to all that was happening in the outside world. Currently, all of his thoughts were placed on refining essence energy.

Unlike the wild essence energy in the outside world, the essence energy inside Ye Yuan's body was impossibly tame.

If the essence energy in the outside world was a violent wild beast, then the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was a powerful beast tamer. Essence energy which went through its domestication became very obedient.

Ye Yuan was currently revolving the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, Mortal Chapter's second phase's cultivation method. He also did not expect that breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm would actually require such an enormous amount of essence energy.

No wonder Spirit Bristle Divine King that fellow was so powerful. This was only breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, and the necessary essence energy was already so titanic. If one entered the Divine King Realm, just how terrifying would the quantity of essence energy required be?

Ye Yuan was just like a diligent little bee, refining the essence energy non-stop using the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, then sending it into his dantian.

The essence energy within the dantian accumulated more and more, gradually inflating Ye Yuan's dantian to the limit!

And right now, the critical juncture of breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm had arrived, and that was to gather the qi and liquefy it!

However, Ye Yuan did not bother about the essence energy inside the dantian but continued to refine essence energy ceaselessly, steadily pouring it into the dantian.

Ye Yuan's dantian was inflated even much more bigger with the risk of exploding at any time! If he did not take measures right away, it could really be like how Su Yishan desired; stuffing the dantian so full it explodes!

"No way right? Is Ye Yuan still refining essence energy? His dantian is probably about to explode from fullness, right? Turns out he didn't even know how to impact the Spirit Condensation Realm! To actually wager with me by making such a shameless claim! Hahaha!" Su Yishan was full of delight from his misfortune.

Nanfeng Zhirou glared viciously at him and said angrily, "Shut your mouth for me! If Ye Yuan dies, the Ape King will kill you too! Therefore, you'd better pray for him to survive. At least that way, you theoretically still have the possibility of staying alive!"

Su Yishan was full of disdain as he said, "Even if he breaks through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, it's merely First Level Spirit Condensation Realm! I'm a small stage higher than him! You're so sure that he can defeat me?"

Nanfeng Zhirou sneered coldly and said, "Wasn't Lin Tiancheng also a small stage higher than Ye Yuan back then? And what was his end result? Do you think that Ye Yuan is a fool? To suggest such a duel under the circumstance where he had no confidence? I dare to bet that as long as he enters the Spirit Condensation Realm, killing you will be as simple as slaughtering a dog!"

"Humph! Then he has to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm first! You look at him. Right now, what's the difference from suicide?" Su Yishan remained stubborn.

Nanfeng Zhirou did not make any sound this time. Ye Yuan's actions were truly no different from committing suicide!

What Ye Yuan needed to do at this time was to gather the qi and liquefy it, not to refine essence energy. No matter how large a martial artist's dantian was, it also could not contain so much essence energy!

Nanfeng Zhirou looked at Ye Yuan in the distance; her eyes full of concern.

Rather, it was Yuan Fei who stared at Ye Yuan glowing eyes, uncertain whether it was worry or reassurance on that ape face.

Ye Yuan naturally did not know what they were thinking. Just as his dantian was about to blow up, a warm qi flow poured into the dantian, enveloping the violent essence energy.

This flow of qi was precisely the medicinal strength transformed from the Spirit Surge Pill!

This flow of medicinal strength was just like a tight pocket; wrapping up all the inflated essence energy tightly inside. No matter how they swelled up, it was to no avail.

With the assistance of the Spirit Surge Pill's medicinal strength, Ye Yuan's dantian swiftly recovered to its original size, while that newly refined essence energy was compressed by the medicinal strength!

Finally, the essence energy within Ye Yuan's body reached saturation. He was unable to continue refining essence energy, so he started to condense the gathered qi into liquid according to the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art's method!

As soon as the cultivation method was revolved, the essence energy within the dantian started to form a cyclone!

While at the same time, the medicinal strength of the Spirit Surge Pill and the essence energy which were refined had fused together, causing the essence energy inside Ye Yuan's dantian to become even more massive!

The Spirit Surge Pill already contained massive amounts of essence energy to assist martial artists to breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm under the effects of other medicinal herbs.

The pill formula of the Spirit Surge Pill was not much to Ye Yuan, but it could absolute give rise to a storm of blood in the State of Qin.

This was the best supplementary medicinal pill which Ye Yuan knew to attack the Spirit Condensation Realm.

Under the guidance of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, the cyclone inside Ye Yuan's dantian became increasingly smaller, and ever more condensed.

The originally formless essence energy actually transformed into a hazy mist inside his dantian!

However, the mist was unstable at the moment and had yet to truly form the liquid state of essence energy.

This was also the most crucial moment of gathering qi to liquefy it!

These mist seemed to be only a step away from liquefied essence energy, but this was also the most unstable period. Once a rebound occurred, the essence energy would swiftly return to its original state.

If it was minor, the martial artist's cultivation realm would fall. But if it was severe, the dantian would suffer damage, affecting future cultivation!

The incredible aspect of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was that it was matchlessly tyrannical! With such an overbearing cultivation law, how could it possibly give these mist the opportunity to rebound?

Under the overwhelming oppression of the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, these mist finally continued to condense together!

Drip!

A liquid state of essence energy dripped down. The first Spirit Liquid had completely taken shape!

However, this was merely the beginning!

Drip . . . Drip . . .

Drops of Spirit Liquid fell down. At the end, nine drops of Spirit Liquid completely took form!

"Nine drops of spirit liquid huh? Didn't expect that the breakthrough this time would actually be so perfect, way stronger compared to my previous life!" Ye Yuan gasped in admiration.

However, the breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm was not over yet!

Chapter 149: Divine Soul Transformation!

"How is it? Dumbfounded, right?"

Nanfeng Zhirou glanced at the slack-jawed Su Yishan and appeared to be very pleased with herself as if she was the one who broke through.

Su Yishan was truly befuddled.

The essence energy which Ye Yuan absorbed was multiple times of others!

With such a colossal amount of essence energy, should it not burst the dantian?

Could it be that Ye Yuan was a natural-born freak with a dantian several times larger than the average person?

What kind of joke was this?!

This was not a genius but a freak! Looking at Ye Yuan's appearance, it totally did not look like his dantian was multiple times bigger than others!

However, how on earth did he do it?

"Hey, do you want to guess how many drops of spirit liquid Ye Yuan's formed? I guess that it's definitely seven drops, maybe even eight drops!"

Su Yishan jumped like a cat that had its tail stepped on when he heard that. "Eight drops?! How's that possible? Forget about our State of Qin, even in the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect's domain, the current highest record is just six drops! No matter how monstrous Ye Yuan is, seven drops is the pinnacle already. How can it possibly be eight drops?"

"Why can't it be possible? You said that it was impossible for him to break through directly to the Spirit Condensation Realm, but now, didn't he break through? Furthermore, you also saw that essence energy storm just now. It was multiple times the size of when we broke through! Such a terrifying essence energy storm, condensing eight drops shouldn't be strange either, right?" "Perhaps . . . Perhaps a lot of the essence energy was wasted by him? That must be it!"

"Idiot! You still refuse to accept reality even now!" Nanfeng Zhirou could not be bothered with him anymore.

Nine represented the pinnacle of numbers. As a First Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist, the most was condensing nine drops of spirit liquid!

During the process of martial artists cultivating essence energy, it was also the process of using essence energy to strengthen the entire body.

It was just that the strengthening effects for the divine soul were too poor and very hard to detect.

But every breakthrough in a major realm would cause a qualitative leap in terms of body strengthening. The divine soul would also follow and experience a qualitative change, resulting in a one-time transformation!

However, even after martial artists break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm and their dantian received an immense boost, it could at most endure a total of nine drops of spirit liquid.

Any more would only result in the dantian to burst.

Each one of these nine drops of spirit liquid contained a colossal amount of essence energy. Every drop was virtually the total sum of essence energy held in reserve by Essence Qi Realms. One could imagine just how formidable nine drops of spirit liquid was.

However, for a martial artist to achieve nine drops of spirit liquid when breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, it could only be described using these words: as difficult as ascending to Heaven!

The vast majority of Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists condensed between one to three drops. Some genius martial artists could condense four drops and above.

Such as Nanfeng Zhirou and Su Yishan, they both condensed four drops of spirit liquid!

But above four drops, there would be a huge spike in difficulty!

Because the more spirit liquid that was condensed, the more essence energy would be required. And a martial artist's dantian simply could not support such horrifying essence energy.

The reason why Long Tang could suppress all with his Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm cultivation was that he condensed five spirit liquid drops!

Each realm breakthrough in the Spirit Condensation Realm, due to limitations of the dantian, could only once again condense the same amount formed at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm.

That was to say, when Long Tang was at the Third Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he already had 15 spirit liquid drops, while other Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm students merely possessed 16 spirit liquid drops.

To perception geniuses such as Long Tang, such a minute difference was simply unworthy of being mentioned. Hence, he could firmly occupy the place of number one on the Martial Roll!

In other words, the number of spirit liquid drops condensed when breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm represented the kind of heights a martial artist could reach in the future!

Just think about it. When a nine spirit liquid drops martial artist is at the Ninth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, it would be nine by nine, 81 spirit liquid drops! While a one spirit liquid drop martial artist would only have nine spirit liquid drops.

It was simply impossible to compensate for this sort of difference with other aspects!

Of course, the vast majority of martial artists were at three drops and below. Hence, the difference between them would not be overly distinct.

It was just that if three drops and below martial artists did not have any heaven-defying lucky chances, they would stop at the Spirit Condensation Realm in this lifetime. Desiring to breakthrough to the Crystal Formation Realm would be impossibly difficult.

To want to break through to the Crystal Formation Realm, one must possess at least four spirit liquid drops and above. Even so, not everybody could break through to the Crystal Formation Realm.

The more spirit liquid, the greater the chances of advancing to the Crystal Formation Realm.

However, there were merely a meager two martial artists who condensed six spirit liquid drops when they were at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm in the entire Tranquil Cloud Sect domain!

One of them was the current Tranquil Cloud Sect's Sect Leader, Yan Traceless!

The difficulty of condensing six spirit liquid drops was evident from this.

As for seven drops and above, those were all myths . . .

At least within the Tranquil Cloud Sect's domain, condensing seven spirit liquid drops was completely unheard of!

This was also the reason why Su Yishan was so astonished.

Even if he did not believe Ye Yuan could condense eight spirit liquid drops, he could not refute the fact that Ye Yuan condensed seven spirit liquid drops! That was because the quantity of essence energy which Ye Yuan absorbed just now exceeded the amount he absorbed back then by quite too much!

It far surpassed the volume of essence energy required for six spirit liquid drops.

Which was to say, Ye Yuan had already surpassed everyone in the Tranquil Cloud Sect domain!

This fact made Su Yishan infinitely depressed, endlessly jealous, and also utterly terrified.

Sure enough, the degree of Ye Yuan's monstrousness already far exceeded his understanding.

Seven spirit liquid drops! That meant that no matter how casually Ye Yuan cultivated in the future, he could cultivate to the Crystal Formation Realm!

Furthermore, Ye Yuan was already so terrifying while at the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm. Now that he condensed seven spirit liquid drops in one go, what extent would his strength soar to?

If he knew that Ye Yuan did not condense seven spirit liquid drops, but instead, the nine drops which he dared not even think about, who knew what he would think.

In reality, not only Su Yishan dare not imagine it, but even Nanfeng Zhirou also did not dare to imagine that.

She said eight spirit liquid drops just to ridicule Su Yishan. Honestly speaking, even she did not really believe that Ye Yuan could condense eight spirit liquid drops.

Because . . . that would be too inhuman!

"Nine drops of spirit liquid huh? Didn't expect that the breakthrough this time would actually be so perfect, way stronger compared to my previous life!" Ye Yuan also felt rather emotional.

In his previous life, Ye Yuan only condensed seven spirit liquid drops. Among the pinnacle powers in the Divine Realm, seven spirit liquid drops were not considered very impressive.

The true-blue geniuses all condensed nine spirit liquid drops!

In the Lower Realms, nine spirit liquid drops were something which only existed in the legends. But in the Divine Realm, there were a few people who could achieve it.

Of course, that was also because Ye Yuan did not hold any interest in the Martial Path. Otherwise, with his degree of monstrousness, nine spirit liquid drops was not at all that amazing.

But this time around, under the double effects of the Spirit Surge Pill and the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art, he finally achieved the perfect nine spirit liquid drops.

Right then, Ye Yuan suddenly felt his divine soul quiver and a head-splitting pain transmitted over.

"Siiii . . . So painful! Is it starting?"

Condensing spirit liquid was only fulfilling half of the breakthrough to Spirit Condensation Realm. There was still another half, which was the baptism of the divine soul!

This was the true sense of the first qualitative change of the martial artist's divine soul. It was of vital importance!

Chapter 150: Sudden Change in Situation!

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

Crack . . . Crack . . .

The initially vast clear skies of the Endless Forest had an abrupt change and was covered up by layer upon layers of dark clouds.

Countless streaks of lightning flashed across the sky, while the sound of rolling thunder came from the far away to near.

"What happened? What's going on?"

Su Yishan's complexion turned ashen. He had never seen such abnormal weather and could instinctively sense that things were not quite right.

The feeling that this sudden change in the situation did not seem to have formed naturally. Rather, it seemed like a phenomenon brought about when some powerhouse broke through cultivation realms.

Yuan Fei's eyes shone like he seemed to know what was happening. Hence, he lightly patted Nanfeng Zhirou's shoulder, and his other hand picking up Su Yishan like a baby chick as he shot away even further in the distance.

This time around, Yuan Fei moved away even further away from Ye Yuan. A distance of several miles!

Smack!

Yuan Fei casually threw Su Yishan down, but his gaze was fixed firmly at the place Ye Yuan was breaking through.

Nanfeng Zhirou also caught up right then as she stared at Yuan Fei in total bewilderment. She really wanted to ask Yuan Fei just what in the world happened, but they were unable to communicate so Yuan Fei would not understand even if she asked.

But looking at Yuan Fei's actions, could it be that the source of this phenomenon was actually Ye Yuan?

How was this possible?

Such a phenomenon was impossible to have even if one broke through to the Crystal Formation Realm, let alone breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!

Just what on earth happened on Ye Yuan's body?

Su Yishan picked himself up rather miserably and just happened to meet Nanfeng Zhirou's baffled gaze. He involuntarily became pissed. "Don't look at me; how would I know what happened? This Ye Yuan is a natural-born freak! Freak! Freak!"

Su Yishan did not dare to get mad at Yuan Fei, so he could only say 'freak' three times consecutively to express his displeasure, and at the same time, conceal the deep shock within his heart.

Through Yuan Fei's reaction, Su Yishan clearly also realized that the source of this phenomenon was Ye Yuan.

However, he just could not figure out how Ye Yuan could invoke such a horrifying phenomenon when he was merely breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm.

Nanfeng Zhirou was speechless for some time before she said, "Ye Yuan's gathering qi and then liquefying it is already completed. Now, it should be the divine soul transformation. But would the divine soul transformation invoke such a phenomenon? Could it be due to him condensing seven spirit liquid drops?"

"I already said that I don't know! Divine soul transformation is just symbolical. How can it possibly trigger such a phenomenon?" Su Yishan said crossly.

Nanfeng Zhirou thought about it for a long time and also could not come up with an explanation. She could only observe Ye Yuan's movements closely.Meanwhile, over ten thousand miles away, at the Tranquil Cloud Sect, an old man filled with a sage-like bearing broke out of his seclusion and looked at the phenomenon in the distance with a grave expression.

"It's over at the Endless Forest. What happened? Could another Tier 4 demonic beast be born? But it's also not possible for Tier 4 demonic beasts to trigger such a phenomenon!"Somewhere deep in the Endless Forest, an elderly man who was only skin and bones looked at the phenomenon towering the skies with a similarly solemn expression!

"Which old demon broke through? Such a level of phenomenon is simply inconceivable! I'd better stay further away from him! Breaking through in the Endless Forest, doesn't this fellow scared of provoking that old demon in there?"

Although the elderly man was very curious about what happened, he still turned around and left without looking back.Over at the other side of the Endless Forest, this place was hailed as a land forbidden to humans, the Ten Thousand Demons Valley. There were countless powerful demonic beasts within!

In the deepest part of the Ten Thousand Demons Valley, inside a cave, a youth actually sat there cross-legged.

The youth was presently training in meditation when he suddenly opened his eyes. He murmured to himself, "It's the aura of a human! To think that such a heaven-defying existence appeared once again among the humans! What a pity! I'm also at the most critical juncture right now. Otherwise, I would go and meet him."

Finishing, the youth shut his eyes again, cutting off all of his senses.This instant, countless masters in the Endless World was startled by the phenomenon caused by Ye Yuan.

It was just that no matter how they thought, they did not imagine that such a level of phenomenon was caused by a puny little Spirit Condensation Realm.

However, Ye Yuan's current body condition was not great.

"Siii . . . Why is the divine soul transformation in the Spirit Condensation Realm so painful?!"

Ye Yuan was currently experiencing a head-splitting pain, his divine soul feeling like it was being shredded, making him wish that he was dead.

Ye Yuan had the past experience of breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, so of course he knew what the Spirit Condensation Realm's divine soul transformation was all about.

But now, this sort of agony had greatly surpassed his experience.

"Argh!!!"

Ye Yuan finally could not take it anymore. He clutched his own head and started rolling around on the ground in anguish.

In the distance, Nanfeng Zhirou who saw the situation was greatly alarmed. She was about to launch herself over when she was stopped by Yuan Fei.

"Ape King, can't you see how much pain Ye Yuan is in? Quickly go and save him!" Nanfeng Zhirou was almost in tears.

Yuan Fei just shook his head and did not have any intention of heading over.

"Yuan Fei! Ye Yuan is your master! If something happens to him, you'll also suffer retribution!" Nanfeng Zhirou threatened when she saw that she could not persuade Yuan Fei.

Yuan Fei waved his hands again and continued to be unmoved.

Nanfeng Zhirou saw Ye Yuan rolling around non-stop on the ground appearing like he was in increasingly tormenting pain and could no longer endure it. She raised a palm to attack Yuan Fei.

However, Yuan Fei's speed was even greater than her's. He directly gave a hand-chop to the back of Nanfeng Zhirou's neck, and Nanfeng Zhirou promptly fainted.

Su Yishan who was watching at the sides was unclear what was going on. Did this Yuan Fei really want to see Ye Yuan die?

However, Yuan Fei did not give him much time to ponder. With the same hand-chop down, Su Yishan also fainted.

Finishing these, Yuan Fei seated on the ground and quietly watched Ye Yuan who was struggling on the ground.

The current Ye Yuan felt that his entire body was about to be ripped apart. Even as somebody who had been through two lives, he had never tasted this sort of feeling.

Ji Qingyun was an expert in terms of souls. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for him to become the youngest Alchemy Emperor.

However, he had never experienced this sort of torment even during his previous life where he broke through so many cultivation realms.

This was only breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm!

Ye Yuan's mind was on the verge of being extinguished. During this time, it was the desire towards life which sustained him, making his soul preserve that last trace of clarity and eternity!

He, Ji Qingyun, wanted to take revenge!

He, Ji Qingyun, wanted to charge back to the Divine Realm and kill that traitor with his own hands!

Ji Canglan was still living well in the Divine Realm. How could he, Ji Qingyun, die just like this?

Ye Yuan was unresigned!

Using his last trace of clarity, Ye Yuan revolved the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation!

This was his first time revolving the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation in this lifetime. Because cultivating soul strength below the Spirit Condensation Realm did not hold any meaning whatsoever.

Even so, Ye Yuan's familiarity towards the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation originated from the deepest parts of the soul!

In his previous life, he cultivated this technique countless times. This skill was akin to a part of his body!

In his previous life, Ji Qingyun did not hold much interest towards cultivation methods and was also uninterested in martial techniques. He was only infatuated with soul manuals!

As an alchemist, Ji Qingyun could not do without soul manuals!

However, the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation which had proved effective every time actually failed this time!

How was this possible?!

Translator's thoughts: celefoata_

RegiusProfessor:

The names are back! Again!

Just to recap.

Ji Qingyun = Ye Yuan's name in the Divine Realm.

Ji Canglan = Ye Yuan's Senior Apprentice Brother, the traitor who killed him and his father.

Chapter 151: Divine Text

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

Arghhh! What's going on?! Ye Yuan howled agonizingly in his mind.

The Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation was an absolutely powerful soul cultivation method in the Divine Realm. Ji Qingyun and his father only became renown throughout the Divine Realm because of cultivating this technique.

But now, even the Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation could not resolve the issue of the divine soul tearing?

It was but a one-time simple breakthrough. How could something like this happen?

Just as Ye Yuan was completely helpless and hovering on the edge of absolute despair, his divine soul once again underwent an abnormal change!

Numerous golden-colored unknown texts slowly drifted into Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness, akin to the trickling of a stream, immediately nourishing Ye Yuan's divine soul!

These golden texts were incomparably profound and mysterious. Each word vanished after entering Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness, and Ye Yuan's divine soul was also being repaired.

Gradually, the pain of the divine soul being torn apart lessened, all the way until it disappeared entirely.

However, the inflow of these gold texts did not end. They continued to enter Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness. Not only did it fully mend Ye Yuan's divine soul, it even nourished Ye Yuan's divine soul, strengthening it slowly!

"Wh-what are these texts? To actually have such a miraculous effect?"

Even being an illustrious Alchemy Emperor in his previous life, Ye Yuan had never seen such an abstruse and abnormal thing before. Merely the texts itself could strengthen the divine soul. Just what kind of heaven-defying means was this?!

Could these texts be a soul cultivation method? Then if one grasped these texts, wouldn't they become a heaven-defying existence?

Could it be that these texts had already transcended this world and were the legendary Divine Script?

For the sake of researching the Alchemy Path, Ye Yuan had read extensively on all books in his past life and learned countless languages.

But he actually could not recognize any of these golden words!

Where did these words come from? Why did they enter my sea of consciousness?

Ye Yuan was currently full of doubts and questions.

The breakthrough in cultivation realm this time was way too abnormal. It had already surpassed Ye Yuan's understanding!

Ye Yuan's divine soul no longer hurt anymore, but to his dismay, he discovered that he could not do anything. He could only let those texts enter his sea of consciousness freely.

Since he could not do anything, then Ye Yuan might as well just lay there and started to savor these golden texts.

With this bout of savoring, Ye Yuan immediately felt that these golden texts were out of the ordinary.

Between each brush and stroke, it divulged the allure of Dao. This was an indescribable sort of boundless feeling as if what these texts were currently describing was this stretch of Heaven and Earth!

This feeling even gave Ye Yuan an illusion of tearing through the firmament.

Ji Qingyun was formally a Divine King powerhouse, but his cultivation realm was completely piled up using medicinal pills. He did not necessarily have a very deep understanding of Heavenly Dao.

Even so, he was a genuine Divine King. His comprehension of the Heavenly Dao was extremely deep.

But when he looked at these texts, Ye Yuan felt that his understanding was worse than dog shit!

In front of these characters, Ye Yuan felt that his understanding of Heavenly Dao was just like a toddler learning how to walk.

Even if Ye Yuan could not understand them, the impact of the deep, resonant feeling of the boundless Great Dao contained within these words pierced deep into the soul!

"Could these words really be the Divine Script? An existence lording above Divine King? But . . . where did they come from? Could it be that these texts automatically entered my sea of consciousness with my one-time breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm? But I didn't step on sh*t today!"

Ye Yuan knew that he picked up a treasure!

With his knowledge and horizons, he naturally knew the extraordinariness of these words.

Even the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art was likely not as good when in front of these characters!

Even if these characters were not the legendary Divine Script, it was also an existence which could cause a frenzy in the entire Divine Realm!

Ye Yuan was certain that once somebody in the Divine Realm knew that he possessed these texts, they would tear his divine soul into shreds with any hesitation and use all kinds of methods to search it out from his sea of consciousness!

Even if they could not understand the contents of these texts, just placing it inside the sea of consciousness and giving it a look every day would be tremendously helpful to martial artists.

The maxim of Great Dao contained within these words might be able to . . . help lead martial artists towards the Deity Realm!

It's the Deity Realm!

Just by thinking of these two words, Ye Yuan could not stop his body from trembling a little!

Which martial artist did not yearn for the Deity Realm?

Even Ji Qingyun who had no interest in the Martial Path in his previous life fervently pursued that legendary Alchemy God Realm!

To want to become an Alchemy God, first, one's divine soul must step into the Deity Realm!

Without a deity level divine soul, how could one possibly refine out deity rank medicinal pills?

Presently, Ye Yuan could leap ranks to refine medicinal pills because these pills were too low leveled. The requirements towards divine soul were not high.

But as the level of the medicinal pill rose in tier, the difficulty of refining would also become increasingly difficult! Without the support of a powerful divine soul realm, it was impossible to refine them!

If not for the sake of letting the divine soul undergo a transformation, Ye Yuan would not even be bothered to advance to the Divine King realm.

The Deity Realm could absolutely drive all martial artists insane!

Ye Yuan produced a series of conjectures about these golden texts.

Firstly, could these golden texts be a soul cultivation method written using the Divine Script?

Highly probable!

That was because these texts could be used directly on the soul. Not only did it repair his damaged divine soul, it even nourished and strengthened his divine soul!

Secondly, if one could completely comprehend these golden characters, did that mean that they could break through the chains of heaven and earth and gain access to that Deity Realm which enraptured all?

Also possible!

But Ye Yuan felt that it might not be so easy.

The profundity of these golden texts could no longer be described using words. Even with Ye Yuan's peerless talent, he was unable to comprehend one in ten-thousandth of it.

It was easier said than done to want to comprehend it thoroughly.

Apart from this, the reason for the Deity Realm to dwindle to zero was unknown. But most likely, it was not as easy to take that step as mastering a set of cultivation law. Even if this set of cultivation law was a Deity Realm cultivation method!

One hundred thousand years ago, all the Deity Realm powerhouses in the Divine Realm vanished overnight!

Nobody knew where they went and nobody knew why they disappeared. But ever since then, the Divine Realm had never given birth to another Deity Realm powerhouse!

Not just that, all the secrets involving the Deity Realm also seemed to have vanished overnight since then.

One hundred thousand years had passed and time had buried even more secrets in oblivion.

Today, nobody knew how to break through to the Deity Realm anymore.

In these hundred thousand years, there had been countless dazzlingly shocking geniuses who wanted to try all sorts of means to smash the fetters. In the end, it all came to naught.

There were even some unrivaled powerhouses who fell during midway, leaving behind infinite regrets.

Ji Qingyun had once been hailed as the genius figure most likely to break through to becoming an Alchemy God. But even that was only everyone's flattery, or perhaps it was everyone's affirmation of him.

Because nobody truly felt that he could genuinely break through to the Alchemy God realm.

That was because this was a hundred thousand year shackle! Nobody could break it apart!

While Ye Yuan's imaginations were running wild, that sheet of golden texts already completely entered Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness.

Just as Ye Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, his entire being was like he got shocked by lightning. His divine soul also shuddered as tears started flowing out . . .

Chapter 152: A Father's Love Is Akin to a Mountain

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

Inside Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness, two faint silhouettes stood as they faced each other.

Ye Yuan looked at this kindly but big and tall figure as he wept bitterly.

"I'm so stupid! I'm so stupid! I'm so stupid! I should have long thought of this! In this whole wide world, who would do all this for me except for you?"

Ye Yuan's tears covered his face as his emotions were virtually crumbling.

Ever since birth, Ye Yuan had always been calm and collected. He had never lost control of his emotions like this before.

He had buried the hatred at the bottom of his heart all along and placed all of his energy on cultivation. He only hoped to be able to charge back to the Divine Realm one day and kill that traitor!

But this time around, facing this person, he could no longer keep his cool.

This was the father who raised him, taught him alchemy, and taught him cultivation: the most powerful Alchemy Emperor in the Divine Realm, Ji Zhengyang!

A man would not shed tears easily unless his heart was broken!

Ji Zhengyang had an amiable appearance and did not develop a baleful aura from being murdered by that traitor. His gaze toward Ye Yuan was filled with tender love.

Ji Zhengyang smiled kindly and said, "Yun-er, to be able to see you reincarnate and get a new lease on life, Father is very comforted. Has all been well?"

"Good . . . Good. . . Everything has been good for this child. I just often miss Father very much." Ye Yuan choked.

"Haha, what's the point of missing a dead person? Since you have a new identity, a new life, you should go and live that new life. Don't wallow in the past. The Medicine King Hall is already the past. Things that had happened, just let them be," Ji Zhengyang smiled and said very nonchalantly.

"How can I? Father's debt of gratitude for raising me up, even if Yun-er is ground to dust, I wouldn't dare to forget! And that traitor, how can I dispel my grinding hatred if I don't tear his corpse to shreds?! Yun-er dare not forget the scene of Father's death! With heaven's grace, I, Ji Qingyun came back to life. How can I be considered human if I don't avenge this enmity?"

Ji Zhengyang stretched out an illusionary hand and lightly caressed Ye Yuan's head like the past.

Except, the current Ji Zhengyang was a remnant soul without a corporeal body. How could he touch Ye Yuan?

However, Ji Zhengyang did not seem to mind this. Although his hand passed through Ye Yuan and did not touch anything, his face still revealed a satisfied smile.

Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan felt like a knife was twisting in his heart.

"Oh Yun-er, you reviving is not some heaven's blessing. It's father who used a divine soul secret art to send you to the Lower Realms. But father did not send you to the Lower Realms to hope for you spend your days living in hatred and be blinded by hatred. That way, you would become a machine for revenge. That's not the outcome I wish to see!" Ji Zhengyang sighed and said.

Ye Yuan trembled, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

Him reincarnating was actually due to father using a great arcane ability? How . . . How was this possible?

However, Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something and immediately said agitatedly, "Father, since you have this kind of powers, did you also arrange yourself to reincarnate? Where did you reincarnate? I . . . I'm going to find you!"

Ji Zhengyang smiled and said, "You're overthinking it, Yun-er. Ji Canglan schemed for such a long time, how could he give Father a chance for my divine soul to escape? Back then, Father already expended all my effort to send you away. It was only because he underestimated Father's strength that I could give you a slim chance of survival. At that time, my divine soul was almost entirely pulverized by him. It was at an extremely frail and weak state, but it did not dissipate. It was merely because his divine soul realm could not detect my presence. Hence, I concealed within the void and waited until he was killing you to execute an almighty deception secret art to make him think that your soul already dissipated. Then my remnant soul brought your divine soul to shuttle through the void and enter the Lower Realms."

Only now did Ye Yuan knew that his reincarnation was not accidental, but a feeble thread of hope sought out for him by Ji Zhengyang risking the complete exhaustion of his divine soul.

Ji Zhengyang described it easily, but Ye Yuan could feel the peril back then!

Ji Canglan's divine soul realm was not low, and it was absolutely impossible for him to not discover a remnant soul. Ji Zhengyang had to outsmart Ji Canglan's probing and go into hiding, and he also needed to execute the secret art to make Ji Canglan think that Ye Yuan was already dead. Then he shattered the void to bring Ye Yuan to the Lower Realms.

This process was an extremely huge drain on the divine soul.

If not to save him, Ji Zhengyang completely had the ability to escape alone!

With Ji Zhengyang's divine soul realm, reincarnating was not something hard.

However, Ji Zhengyang did not do so. Instead, he did everything he could to leave this thin thread of hope for him!

This was the choice made by a father before he died!

Such a father's love akin to mountains and oceans, how should Ye Yuan repay it?

He had no chance to!

If he could, Ye Yuan would rather that the person who died was him!

But Ye Yuan knew that his father's remnant soul could not hold on much longer.

This farewell would be forever!

"Father, I . . ." When Ji Zhengyang finished talking, Ye Yuan was already choking through sobs.

No one knew a man better than his own father. Ji Zhengyang had never doubted his son's filial piety. Hence, he smiled and said, "Yun-er, Father did not tell you all these to make you think about revenge and whatnot. I only wish for you to know that Father only hope you will live on well and not become a machine seeking revenge."

"But . . . But Ji Canglan is so treacherous. Are we going to let things go just like this?" Ye Yuan asked very unwillingly.

Ji Zhengyang shook his head and said, "Father did not mean that. I also know I can't stop your vengeance. You have your memories of your previous life. Ascending to the Divine Realm in the future is a certainty. You'll also meet Ji Canglan sooner or later. But father does not wish for you to be completely clouded by hatred. What's the difference between the such of you and a walking corpse? If you really kill Ji Canglan, then your life would completely lose meaning. At that time, you'll also lose yourself, and your cultivation realm will no longer advance too. Yun-er, you have to halt your footsteps to pay attention to the people around you. Don't let down their expectations of you. You . . . are no longer Ji Qingyun now!"

Ye Yuan's mind trembled. Images of Ye Hang, Ren Hongling, Lu-er, Nanfeng Ruoqing, Nanfeng Zhirou, Huyan Yon, Tang Yu, involuntarily appeared inside his head.

That's right. I'm no longer Ji Qingyun anymore! I'm currently Ye Yuan!

I have a family, teachers, and friends!

Ye Yuan sucked in a deep breath and nodded solemnly. "Father, this child understands! Be at ease, I'm still your son, Ji Qingyun! However, I'm also Ye Hang and Ren Hongling's son, Ye Yuan! I . . . won't disappoint you all!"

Ji Zhengyang had a smile in his eyes. Clearly, he was very pleased with his son.

In fact, he had always been very pleased with his son ever since his birth!

Even though they were separated by life and death today, it was enough for him to know that he was living on well.

"Haha, when has my Yun-er ever disappointed me? However, you have to promise father, in the future when you return to the Divine Realm, you have to act within your capability. Never forcefully do things. While Ji Canglan might be powerful, it's impossible for him to overturn the Medicine King Hall alone. There's definitely an even more powerful person behind him!" Ji Zhengyang warned him.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Relax Father. This Child knows what to do! Father, this Child will definitely step into the Deity Realm in this lifetime and attain the long-cherished wish from our previous life!"

Chapter 153: Medicine God's Soul Canon!

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

Seeing Ye Yuan mention the Deity Realm, a yearning look also appeared on Ji Zhengyang's face.

"Deity Realm? That's truly a long-cherished wish! Yun-er, Father believes that you can crack this hundred thousand year mystery and step into the Deity Realm!"

Ji Zhengyang chose to believe Ye Yuan's wildly rampant words when he heard it without any hesitation at all.

"Father, you can actually send this child down to the Lower Realms to reincarnate. Just what realm did your divine soul reach?" Ye Yuan voiced out the query in his heart.

Ye Yuan's previous life's divine soul was also very powerful. Yet, he was unable to achieve reincarnation; let alone talked about resurrecting other people.

Therefore, he was very curious just how strong Father was, to actually let him resurrect!

Ji Zhengyang smiled and said, "As long as you properly study the Medicine God's Soul Canon, with your talent and perception, reaching my level is not something hard!"

"Medicine God's Soul Canon? Could it be those golden characters that entered my sea of consciousness?" Ye Yuan asked in amazement.

"That's right! Father's divine soul realm subsequently soared fiercely due to the effects of studying the Medicine God's Soul Canon daily."

"So that's how it is! No wonder Father can refine a half-step divine pill. So it's actually due to obtaining such a mystical arcane canon! Could it be that Father's divine soul really reached the legendary half-step Deity Realm?" Ye Yuan was incomparably shocked in his heart.

Ji Zhengyang shook his head and said with a smile, "What half-step divine pill? That's all concocted by Ji Canglan. That medicinal pill was at most slightly stronger than peak Tier 9 medicinal pills. How can it be worthy of being called a half-step divine pill? As for divine soul realm, I'm still very far away from half-step Deity Realm! If I reached the half-step Deity Realm, how could Ji Canglan have the opportunity to lay hands on me? However, the more I understand the Medicine God's Soul Canon, the more I feel that the Deity Realm is vague and abstruse!"

Ye Yuan was also formerly at Divine King realm. He could naturally sense the mythical and illusory allure of the Deity Realm.

But hearing Ji Zhengyang say that, he felt that the future would be riddled with difficulties.

This Medicine God's Soul Canon was so mystical, and it was actually unable to help Father step foot into the Deity Realm?

"Father, where did you get this Medicine God's Soul Canon from? Why have I never heard of it before?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.

"Father acquired this Medicine God's Soul Canon from the Godsfall Mountain Range. But this Medicine God's Soul Canon is only an incomplete canon. To this date, I also don't know its origins. When I obtained it, it was only a tattered book, very inconspicuous. But when I used divine sense to inspect it, these golden characters actually automatically imprinted within my divine soul. I was also unable to retrieve it. I could only study it every day, all the way until my divine soul realm had some breakthrough, then only I was barely able to control these golden characters," Ji Zhengyang explained.

"It's actually the Godsfall Mountain Range! No wonder! Roughly ten years ago or so before Father died, you joined hands with numerous Divine King powerhouses to barge into the Godfall Mountain Range together. I'm afraid that the Medicine God's Soul Canon was obtained during then, right?" Ye Yuan had a look of realization.

Divine King experts were indeed pinnacle existences in the Divine Realm. However, it was not like they could travel freely anywhere around the world.

In the Divine Realm, there were some forbidden places. Even if Divine King experts entered, just a moment of carelessness and there would be the risk of perishing!

The Godsfall Mountain Range was one of them!

As the name suggests, a place where even Deity Realm powerhouses had to perish, what did Divine King experts count for?

Of course, there was another saying about the Godsfall Mountain Range. Countless eons ago, an earth-shattering great war took place in that place. Those participating in the great war were all Deity Realm powerhouses! In that battle, many Deity Realm experts fell. Hence, that place was later called the Godsfall Mountain Range.

But too much time had passed. As for which saying was true, it could no longer be determined.

Only one thing was certain, that was the Godfall Mountain Range was an extremely perilous place but also a place with tremendous lucky chances!

This Medicine God's Soul Canon might have been a soul cultivation method left behind by some Deity Realm expert!

Ji Zhengyang nodded and said, "That's right, it was obtained back then. You have also seen the Medicine God's Soul Canon and should understand its allure. I was also unable to grasp these golden characters back then, so I temporarily did not tell you. Later on, when I planned to impart you the Medicine God's Soul Canon, that unexpected incident happened. Sigh . . . Truly fate makes a fool out of men! With your talent, if you were given several hundred years to comprehend the Medicine God's Soul Canon, you might really achieve Half-Deity Realm!

To Divine King experts, several hundred years was not considered long. It might just be the duration of a retreat.

For Ji Zhengyang to give Ye Yuan a time limit of merely several hundred years, it was clear just how confident he was in his son's talent!

But when Ye Yuan heard that, he said, "Father, perhaps this lifetime is my opportunity! In my previous life, I neglected the martial path. Even if I had acquired the Medicine God's Soul Canon, I might not be able to reach Half-Deity Realm. In this life, I'll pour my heart into the martial path and pursue that unparalleled Deity Realm. I absolutely won't let Father down!"

Ji Zhengyang smiled and said, "I naturally won't be disappointed. Father has already observed your new body. You cultivated very well, and your foundation is also very solid. You condensed nine spirit drops, and the divine soul transformation was also very flawless. As long as you take each step forward firmly, stepping into the Deity Realm in the future is definitely not a dream! Alright, time is almost up. Father should go. In the future when Father isn't by your side, you have to take good care of yourself!"

As he was talking, Ji Zhengyang's body became increasingly faint. This was the sign of a remnant soul about to vanish!

Ye Yuan's eyes instantly blurred once again. The father and son barely managed to reunite, yet, it was so fleeting.

This goodbye was forever!

Ye Yuan desperately tried to grab hold of Ji Zhenyang, but how could he clutch a remnant soul on the verge of disappearing?

"Don't worry, Father. This child has already grown up. I'll take good care of myself! I'll definitely step into the Deity Realm in the future. Even if I have to try every means, I'll definitely find a way to revive you!" Ye Yuan said with tears in his eyes.

"Haha, silly boy. Life and death are set by the heaven. You just . . . have to . . . live well by . . . yourself and . . . that would do . . ."

Ji Zhengyang's remnant soul gradually become fainter, hazier, and finally vanished into nothingness . . .

Once again watching his father leave him, Ye Yuan felt as if a knife was twisting in his heart. He only hated himself for being too weak. If he had Father's former strength, he could surely hold onto Father's divine soul and even revive him.

But right now, he was unable to do anything!

Ye Yuan once again experienced that sort of deep helplessness. He disliked this sort of feeling very much.

"I, Ye Yuan, must definitely step into the Deity Realm in this lifetime! The heartless heavens treat everything as straw dogs! I, Ye Yuan, have to carve out my own Great Dao and oppose this Heaven!"

At this point, Ye Yuan already returned to reality. Ye Yuan howled at the skies.

At this point, Ye Yuan's breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm was finally completed!

The heaven and earth phenomenon faded away as if it had never appeared.

Yuan Fei brought the unconscious Nanfeng Zhirou and Su Yishan in front of Ye Yuan. Ye Yuan had not yet completely recovered from his grief. Seeing Su Yishan, his killing intent involuntarily surged!

Chapter 154: How Can You Be so Strong?

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

"I . . . What happened to me? Ah! Ye Yuan! You're fine; that's great!"

Nanfeng Zhirou slowly woke up. Seeing Ye Yuan safe and sound, she could not help being overjoyed.

Unknowingly, Nanfeng Zhirou's concern towards Ye Yuan had already become an involuntary habit.

"Hur hur, it's just breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm; what could happen?" Ye Yuan forcefully pressed down the grief in his heart and said with a forced smile.

"But you really frightened people to death just now; rolling on the ground while clutching your head, I even thought you . . . I saw your distressing appearance and wanted to come over to help you, but I was knocked unconscious by this fellow! Humph! " Nanfeng Zhirou pointed at Yuan Fei and said with a displeased look.

If not for Yuan Fei being too powerful, she probably would have swung her sword over at this time.

"He's right in not letting you come over, so don't blame him anymore. My divine soul transformation is different from others. I'll experience a type of special baptism, that's why it's so painful. Earlier, the several dozen feet radius around me was extremely dangerous. Your divine soul would have suffered injuries if you came over rashly," Ye Yuan explained.

Nanfeng Zhirou looked at Ye Yuan with suspicion and then looked at Yuan Fei. "Really?"

"Of course it's true. If not, you can feel my soul strength, and you'll know that what I said isn't false."

As he spoke, Ye Yuan released his soul strength. Yuan Fei and Nanfeng Zhirou clearly felt that surge of soul strength.

"You . . . You. . . You. . . actually directly broke through to middle-rank Alchemy Master's soul strength?" Nanfeng Zhirou had a face as if she saw a ghost. Even her speech became stammers.

By the side, Yuan Fei also found it unexpected. Two ape eyeballs flickered. Clearly, he was also very surprised.

Under normal circumstances, a martial artist's soul strength followed their cultivation realm. The level of cultivation would possess a matching soul strength, apart from those people with naturally powerful divine souls.

Before Ye Yuan's broke through, his divine soul was roughly the same as the average person. Even if he went through divine soul transformation, it should have only been to the extent of low-rank Alchemy Master soul strength. How could he directly possess middle-rank Alchemy Master soul strength?

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Didn't I say just now? My divine soul transformation is different from others. Having experienced such a painful divine soul baptism, what I obtained was naturally more than others."

"But . . . But. . . if you possess middle-rank Alchemy Master soul strength, wouldn't you be able to directly refine high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills?" Nanfeng Zhirou exclaimed in shock.

She recalled that Ye Yuan could refine Tier 2 medicinal pills when he was at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm. Then did that not mean that he possessed the strength of a high-rank Alchemy Master at minimum currently?

Wasn't this too quick?

"High-grade Tier 2? Even if I didn't reach middle-rank Alchemy Master soul strength, that's also not an issue."

To Ye Yuan, these medicinal pills from the State of Qin had no challenge at all. Refining high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pills were too easy.

The real challenge was those medicinal pills which surpassed high-grade Tier 2. If Ye Yuan's soul strength did not have a breakthrough, there might really be some difficulties in refining it.

After all, Tier 2 medicinal pills were way harder than Tier 1 medicinal pills. To go even further by leaping ranks to refine medicinal pills, the difficulty naturally also increased.

Nanfeng Zhirou sucked in a deep breath before saying, "Su Yishan was really spot-on about something."

Ye Yuan was stunned and asked, "What did he say about me?"

"You're a freak! Freak! Freak!"

It was rare for Nanfeng Zhirou to acknowledge something Su Yishan said because each and everything that happened on Ye Yuan's body could not be described using the word 'normal,' so it could only be described using 'freak.'

Ye Yuan chuckled and said, "How rare for Su Yishan's appraisal of me to be so high. In order to thank him, I'll give him a chance to fight fairly!"

Nanfeng Zhirou was greatly startled when she heard that and quickly said, "You aren't really going to go one-on-one with him, right? You just broke through! With Yuan Fei and me around, you don't have to be swayed by personal feelings!"

The meaning of that was that Ye Yuan was obviously not Su Yishan's match.

Nanfeng Zhirou's thinking was not wrong. Although she knew that Ye Yuan was very strong and he was surely even more impressive after breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, he had just broken through after all, and Su Yishan was three minor realms higher than him. This distance could not be compensated so easily.

Nanfeng Zhirou knew that after the Spirit Condensation Realm, jumping ranks to battle would be even more difficult because the disparity between each minor realm was even greater.

A three spirit liquid drops First Level Spirit Condensation Realm and a Second Level Spirit Condensation Realm who likewise condensed three spirit liquid drops, there was a whole three spirit liquid drops difference between them. That also meant that the difference in essence energy quantity between them was 100%!

It was very hard to compensate for this sort of disparity without heaven-defying methods!

Between Ye Yuan and Su Yishan, there was a full three minor realms gap between them. There was even a minor stage in-between.

The disparity in-between was too big!

Ye Yuan just smiled and said, "Relax, I know what I'm doing."

Right then, Su Yishan also slowly awakened.

Seeing Ye Yuan's currently sizing him up with ill intentions, his heart shivered for no reason.

"Come on, Su Yishan! I said that I'll give you the chance to duel me. Now, let's carry out a one-on-one deathmatch!" Ye Yuan's words carried an imposing air as if he showed disdain on everyone.

"You . . . You really want to go one-on-one with me?" Su Yishan clearly also did not dare to believe it.

Ye Yuan's advantage over here was too clear. There was simply no need to do this sort of foolish thing.

"What? You're unwilling?" Ye Yuan's tone turned icy.

"Willing! Of course I'm willing!" Su Yishan hurriedly responded.

At this point, he already had no choice. Since Ye Yuan himself was being stupid, then wouldn't he be as dumb as Ye Yuan if he did not grasp this opportunity well?

It was just that he was worried Ye Yuan merely only using him to measure his strength, and he would still make Yuan Fei kill him in the end.

If it were him, he would definitely do that.

"You don't have to worry; Yuan Fei and Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng won't attack! As long as you can kill me, you can leave this place. I'll make Yuan Fei hold back Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng and not let her attack," Ye Yuan saw through Su Yishan's concerns and said calmly.

"Ye Yuan, you!" Nanfeng Zhirou immediately jumped up but was held back by Yuan Fei.

Su Yishan could not help becoming ecstatic when he saw this scene.

These few days had been too aggrieved for him. Having lived for nearly twenty years, he had never suffered such injustice before!

"Haha . . . Ye Yuan, you asked for it yourself, then don't blame me for not holding back! You aren't naïve enough to think that you're really my match after just breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, right? One-on-one isn't the time for being a training partner anymore!" Su Yishan laughed madly.

Ye Yuan said nonchalantly, "So much crap. Come on!"

"You're courting death, Ye Yuan!" Su Yishan gritted his teeth and attacked Ye Yuan with a punch.

If in the past, Ye Yuan would definitely evade this punch at the first moment. But now, Ye Yuan did not run or dodge, he directly struck out with an Eighth Layer Wave. The two of them clashed together!

Rumble!

After an intense collision, the pair each retreated several steps.

An incredulous shock was written all over Su Yishani's face. "Didn't you just broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm? How can you be this strong?!"

Chapter 155: Venting Emotions!

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

Su Yishan was all too familiar with Ye Yuan's moves!

Stacking Waves Layered Palm, Eighth Layered Wave!

But the question was how could the Eighth Layered Wave have such incredible power?

It was actually not at a disadvantage when clashing with his palm!

No matter how strong the Eighth Layered Wave was, it was just a Tier 1 martial technique.

Ye Yuan had just broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. A First Level Spirit Condensation Realm using a Tier 1 martial technique could actually have a draw with a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artist like him?

Since when were Tier 1 martial techniques so powerful?

Since when were First Level Spirit Condensation Realms so strong?

Ye Yuan curled his lips and said with displeasure, "Indeed, Tier 1 martial techniques are no longer suitable!"

Ye Yuan had just broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm. Apart from the movement technique Spirit Void Shattering Space, all his martial techniques including the Absolute Yang Finger were all Tier 1 martial techniques.

Using a Tier 1 martial technique to battle a Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm was clearly not quite enough.

That clash just now looked to be evenly-matched, but in reality, he was at a clear disadvantage.

The impact Ye Yuan suffered was much greater than Su Yishan's. The distance he retreated was also farther.

Nanfeng Zhirou also had her mouth wide open when she saw this scene and no longer struggled in Yuan Fei's arms.

It was very clear that this scene gave her a similarly huge shock.

Even though that palm from Su Yishan just now was not his strongest move, he did not hold back any strength.

Middle-rank Tier 2 martial technique plus Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm strength; no matter how one looked at it, the outcome should be Ye Yuan heavily injured and puking blood. However, Ye Yuan merely moved back a few steps.

Nanfeng Zhirou suddenly thought of something and asked out loud, "Ye Yuan, just how many drops of spirit liquid did you condense?"

With Nanfeng Zhirou asking, Su Yishan also perked up his ears. He was also very curious whether it was seven drops or eight drops.

Ye Yuan did not turn his head back and just said casually, "Nine drops."

Su Yishan's eyes popped out. "Ni-nine drops? Impossible! How can there possibly be a person who can condense out nine spirit liquid drops in this world and not have their dantian burst?"

Ye Yuan said calmly, "You don't know, doesn't mean that there isn't. The State of Qin is merely a small place. You are but a frog at the bottom of a well."

"What kind of joke is this? I don't believe it! Frog at the bottom of a well? You said it like you aren't someone from the State of Qin! Haha, I know, you must have only condensed seven drops and want to make yourself look good. Either that or you're trying to shake my state of mind!"

Not that Su Yishan was unwilling to believe, but because nine spirit liquid drops were truly even more mythical than legends. The way he perceived it, it was completely impossible to appear.

And yet, Ye Yuan said he condensed nine spirit liquid drops, shattering the absolute of Su Yishan's knowledge. Hence, he chose to not believe.

But deep down inside, a discordant voice was telling Su Yishan that what Ye Yuan said was true!

Otherwise, how could one explain why Ye Yuan could pair a Tier 1 martial technique with his First Level Spirit Condensation Realm and be equally matched with him?

Even though Su Yishan had never seen seven spirit liquid drops martial artists, he knew that it was absolutely impossible for seven spirit liquid drops martial artists to possess such a powerful strength!

That was to say, Ye Yuan condensed at least eight spirit liquid drops, maybe even the nine drops which Su Yishan was reluctant to admit!

"I was just stating a fact, not to make you believe it. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not; the outcome won't change," Ye Yuan said indifferently.

"Humph! I don't believe you then! No matter how monstrous you are, you're just at the First Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Can you oppose the heaven?" Su Yishan said indignantly.

After that, Su Yishan rushed forward and collided together with Ye Yuan.

The pair's movement techniques were quick to the extreme. They turned into two streaks of afterimages and clashed together non-stop. In a blink, they had crossed over a dozen exchanges!

Su Yishan's movement technique goes without saying. He also trained in a high-grade Tier 2 movement technique, not at all inferior to Nanfeng Zhirou's Spirit Swallow Dance!

However, after Ye Yuan broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm and had the support of immense essence energy, the true might of the first stage of the Spirit Void Shattering Space also emerged!

His speed was actually even slightly faster than Su Yishan!

Outsiders could not tell, but Su Yishan's senses were incomparably clear.

Just because of that tiny bit, his attack was forever half a beat slower than Ye Yuan's. This also resulted in him being unable to unleash his full power each time.

Ye Yuan's Eighth Layer Wave and Absolute Yang Finger were Tier 1 martial techniques with tremendous power. Especially the Absolute Yang Finger, its power could no longer be mentioned in the same breath as it was during the Essence Qi Realm.

While it could not cause real harm to Su Yishan, it made him unable to leave it unrestrained.

Ye Yuan made use of this half a beat advantage coupled with the powerful might of the Absolute Yang Finger and the Eighth Layered Wave to forcefully fight Su Yishan to a draw!

This sort of feeling made Su Yishan so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

Currently, he was somewhat regretting playing such large stakes with Ye Yuan. He should have used his most powerful move right from the start and fight Ye Yuan to the death.

Under the current situation, it was no longer possible even if he wanted to withdraw from the fight.

It was like Ye Yuan went mad. He pestered him dead from the start till the end without giving him any chance to catch his breath.

"Damn it! To think that his movement technique is so strong. I fell for his trick!" Su Yishan silently cursed as he dealt with things.

His present thoughts were very simple. To find a chance to break free from the battle and then unleash a big move!

However, Ye Yuan just refused to give him this chance.

The current Ye Yuan was like an old bull which did not know fatigue. All his moves 'greeted' Su Yishan's body like a raging tempest.

Having just parted forever with his father, Ye Yuan's heart carried boundless grief. He turned this sorrow into battle power and unleashed it all on Su Yishan's body!

The current Su Yishan was just the target to vent the emotions in his heart.

Just like this, the two of them exchange over a hundred rounds in a hundred breaths of time!

Boom!

Another clash, but this time the pair separated.

Ye Yuan finally gave up his entanglement with Su Yishan. The negative emotions in his heart were almost vented finish.

After pulling apart, the pair were panting heavily. Clearly, such high-frequency clashes were very taxing on their stamina and essence energy.

After panting a few times, Su Yishan recovered first. He said furiously to Ye Yuan, "Ye Yuan, don't think that you're very impressive just because your movement technique is fast! If you have the capability, try breaking apart this move of mine for me to see!"

Finishing, Su Yishan raised both palms towards the skies. It was precisely the starting motion of the Heaven Flipping Palm!

Su Yishan was already at the Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm. Displaying the Heaven Flipping Palm right now could no longer be mentioned in the same breath as back in the academy!

An astonishing aura undulated out. It actually made people feel that the sky was rent asunder and the earth was split open.

Ye Yuan breathed in deeply and recollected his feelings. He took out the Canghua Sword and said lightly, "The warmup exercise is already done. Now, I'll send you on your way with the Nine Swords Stance which was completed because of you guys' assassination!"

Finishing, his silhouette split, and nine Ye Yuans appeared in front of Su Yishan's eyes.

Su Yishan's pupils involuntarily shrunk when he saw the situation. He did not expect that Ye Yuan was actually still hiding such a formidable move!

Chang One's fight only lasted for an instant. Back then, he was battling with Nanfeng Zhirou and did not witness how Ye Yuan avoided the assassination.

Also, during the subsequent spars, Ye Yuan did not use this move either.

No matter how one looked at this, the nine silhouettes gave Su Yishan an enormous shock!

Chapter 156: Divine Soul Mystic Art!

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

A terrifying sword intent similarly undulated out, clashing with Su Yishan's aura. It was actually not at a disadvantage at all.

Su Yishan had an extremely strong impression of this sword intent.

Back then, for Liu Ruoshui, Su Yishan was put into a sorry state by Ye Yuan. It was due to being struck by this sword intent.

However, the current Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art could not be mentioned in the same breath as it originally was anymore.

Ye Yuan's sword intent realm was exceedingly high. It was just that he did not have the essence energy to match it.

The Ye Yuan today had already broken through to the Spirit Condensation Realm and condensed nine spirit liquid drops. Displaying the might of the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword Art would naturally be several levels higher than what it was in the Essence Qi Realm!

Ye Yuan no longer lined up in a straight line when he executed the Nine Swords Stance this time, but instead, it was nine disorganized figures.

After the Nine Swords Stance was completed, Ye Yuan could already freely display these nine silhouettes and also freely control the timing of releasing the sword beams.

This way, the might of the Nine Swords Stance would be much greater.

The sword beams released by the nine disorderly silhouettes would be much harder to defend than if they lined up in a row.

Also, Ye Yuan now could freely adjust the entire sword beam releasing duration according to the opponent's situation.

This alteration in rhythm was the hardest to be on guard against.

If the opponent was not overwhelmingly more powerful than Ye Yuan, then how could they defend the second sword beam when they had just blocked one sword beam and not mustered up new strength?

This was the greatest aspect of this Nine Swords Stance that Ye Yuan created!

Powerful sword intent synchronizing with multi-varied attacks could let Ye Yuan's power soar once again!

Su Yishan instinctively sensed that things were not right. But right now, it was like a notched arrow that had to be released.

Since he could not differentiate which was Ye Yuan's true body, he would just directly sweep across with the wind from his palm!

With his powerful strength of Fourth Level Spirit Condensation Realm, he would directly crush Ye Yuan!

Even if Ye Yuan had condensed nine spirit liquid drops, the disparity between them was still enormous. If he did not make good use of this advantage, then he would have completely no chance of victory at all today.

The Heaven Flipping Palm by itself held incredible power. Among the Su Family's Tier 2 martial techniques, it was also a pinnacle existence.

After breaking through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, Su Yishan had faith that he could rely on the Heaven Flipping Palm to crush Fifth Level Spirit Condensation Realm martial artists!

Su Yishan was indeed a genius. He also had rich experience in being in critical situations and was not those sort of flowers which grew up in a greenhouse.

But sadly . . . he met Ye Yuan!

Just as he was prepared to release the Heaven Flipping Palm, his brain suddenly blanked out. His divine soul sunk into a disoriented and hazy state!

However, Su Yishan rapidly regained consciousness.

Except that when experts exchange blows, that split second of delay was ample to cause lethality.

The nine sword beams whistled out and arrived in front of Su Yishan dazzlingly. Su Yishan only regained consciousness at this time. It was already too late to want to circulate his strength to defend.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

Nine sword beams struck Su Yishan's body solidly and instantly broke his protective essence energy, destroying his internal organs.

What happened . . . This was the last thought that went through Su Yishan's mind. But he would never know.

Nanfeng Zhirou swallowed hard and felt somewhat parched.

What in the world happened just now? She also really wanted to know.

At that final moment just now, Su Yishan clearly hesitated for a bit. Just that short moment cost him his life.

But in that sort of life and death juncture, why would he waver? Was this any different from suiciding?

Nanfeng Zhirou knew that it was definitely something Ye Yuan did. But she did not know what method he used.

Speaking of which, after Su Yishan broke through in cultivation realm, he was actually already on par with her. Ye Yuan could kill Su Yishan, so he naturally also had the ability to kill her.

Nanfeng Zhirou unwittingly thought back to two months ago, that scene where she almost killed Ye Yuan.

Just two months and he already caught up, even surpassed her?

To think that she, Nanfeng Zhirou, had always boasted she was a genius. But in front of Ye Yuan, she was nothing!

"Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng? Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng?"

"Uh, ah? What is it?" Nanfeng Zhirou only reacted after Ye Yuan called out twice in a row.

"It's late. We should go."

It had already been five to six days since they entered the Endless Forest and Ye Yuan still had two medicinal herbs which he had not acquired.

Since this matter was settled, he naturally did not want to continue delaying.

If not for the fact that he needed to break through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, Ye Yuan would have long let Yuan Fei kill Su Yishan and would not have let so many things happen.

Nanfeng Zhirou followed behind Ye Yuan somewhat dejectedly, utterly unlike her usual self.

Along the way, the two were very silent. Neither opened their mouth to speak.

After four hours, Nanfeng Zhirou finally could not resist and opened her mouth to ask, "Ye Yuan, don't you have anything you want to ask?"

"When you want to talk, you'll obviously say it. If you don't want to talk, then it's also meaningless if I ask." Ye Yuan just replied nonchalantly without turning his head back.

Nanfeng Zhirou glared at Ye Yuan's back view somewhat resentfully and said discontentedly with pouting lips, "Tch, this guy who doesn't understand women! This Princess will talk about it, alright? My father is Nanfeng Yi. I'm called Nanfeng Zhirou. My aunt is called Nanfeng Ruoqing. My father is the ruler of the State of Qin. Is this fine?"

"I already knew this long ago."

"I know that you are aware, but you should at least show me your attitude, right?"

Nanfeng Zhirou was so exasperated by Ye Yuan that she gritted her teeth and halted her steps to stomp her feet. She shouted loudly at Ye Yuan's back view, "Hiding our identities from you is my aunt and my fault, but we also have difficulties that we can't say. It's so inconvenient to enter the academy with my aunt and my identity. That's why we concealed our surnames. Initially, I also planned on telling you when we get back, but didn't I not have the opportunity this whole time?"

Ye Yuan also stopped and turned around. Looking at Nanfeng Zhirou, he suddenly smiled and said, "Senior Apprentice Sister Nanfeng is thinking too much. If I really have any attitude, I would have long left you behind and ignored you and not stand here talking to you. Not having an attitude is the best attitude."

Nanfeng Zhirou bit her lips and then said angrily, "Then why didn't you say that earlier. I even thought that you were really angry."

"You also didn't ask me," Ye Yuan replied very innocently.

Nanfeng Zhirou thought about it and felt so too. It seemed like it had just been her imagining all sorts of things from the start. She had not even asked this fellow.

Perhaps even this matter of concealing their identities did not count as something in this guy's heart?

"Fine then. I was the one who imagined things! Then you tell me. When you killed Su Yishan, why did he slow down by half a beat?"

Nanfeng Zhirou had a carefree personality. Knowing that Ye Yuan was not angry, this matter was directly filtered out by her.

Nanfeng Zhirou became that unruly little princess once again.

"About that . . . It's a divine soul mystic art, the God Stunning Spike. It can make people lose focus for a short period of time," Ye Yuan did not have any intention of hiding it and said it directly.

"Divine soul mystic art! You actually even know divine soul mystic arts!" Nanfeng Zhirou exclaimed in astonishment.

"This is just the shallowest type of divine soul mystic art. What's there to get excited about?"

Not that Ye Yuan was posturing, but this God Stunning Spike was really the crudest one among the divine soul mystic arts he knew.

Chapter 157: Demonic Beasts' Fierce Battle

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

The God Stunning Spike was just a simple way of using soul strength to attack the opponent's divine soul. It was not all that profound.

If Su Yishan were prepared beforehand, Ye Yuan would not even have succeeded.

After all, Ye Yuan only had middle-rank Alchemy Master soul strength; it was roughly the same as Su Yishan.

This attack of his took him by surprise.

Of course, divine soul mystic arts were not much to Ye Yuan. But in mortal countries like the State of Qin, it was absolutely an exceedingly rare existence.

Even if it was the crudest type of divine soul mystic art!

When the State of Qin's martial artists fought, they would not even think of the other party using divine soul mystic arts, because this thing was too rare.

Hence, martial artists who possessed divine soul mystic arts tend to succeed in sneak attacks.

It was just that too few people knew it; so scarce that there simply wasn't any need to be on guard against it. There was no need to go so far as to be on guard against the opposing party's divine soul mystic art every time one fought a battle. Being distracted like that was, on the contrary, a big taboo.

"Yeah, I should have thought of it long ago. Other than divine soul mystic arts, how could Su Yishan have made this kind of low-level mistake?" Nanfeng Zhirou muttered.

Ye Yuan turned to go. Nanfeng Zhirou quickly recovered and hurriedly chased after, grabbing hold of Ye Yuan and said, "Ye Yuan, teach me this divine soul mystic art, okay?"

But Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "Not okay!"

Seeing Nanfeng Zhirou's face change instantly, Ye Yuan quickly said, "Right now, your matter at hand is to cultivate the Water Defying Incantation. Wasting time on other matters would only delay your cultivation. After your Water Defying Incantation is completed, I'll teach you an even stronger one!"

Only now did Nanfeng Zhirou's rage transform into joy as she said, "You were the one who said it! If at that time, you don't teach me, I will . . . I will . . ."

Nanfeng Zhirou said "I will" for a long time and could not think of an even better threat.

Ye Yuan's strength was already no longer beneath hers. What could she threaten Ye Yuan with?

"Relax. I have plenty of divine soul mystic arts. As long as you can cultivate to a sufficient realm, I have as many as you want! Let's go!" Ye Yuan said very generously.

The previous life's Ye Yuan virtually gave up on the Martial Path but had researched quite a bit in terms of divine soul. Therefore, he also cultivated many divine soul mystic arts.

Of course, the aim of him cultivating the divine soul was still for alchemy. These divine soul mystic arts helped Ye Yuan to better understand the divine soul. He naturally enjoyed it tirelessly.A day later, Ye Yuan brought Nanfeng Zhirou and Yuan Fei to the Gray Pine Forest to harvest the Pine Yang Fruit.

This place obviously also had powerful demonic beasts to guard it. However, it was merely a Tier 2 demonic beast.

Ye Yuan released Yuan Fei, and that demonic beast immediately started quaking. It did not reveal the slightest hostility from the start till the end.

The hierarchy in the demonic beast world was more stringent. When a Tier 2 demonic beast faced a Tier 3 demonic beast, there was only the word 'submission.'

Obtaining the Pine Yang Fruit effortlessly, Ye Yuan and the rest rushed to the Blackwater Ravine. It was also the habitat of the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python.

The Blackwater Ravine was to the east of the Crimson Summit Ridge, roughly over a thousand miles away. It was six hundred miles from the borders of the Endless Forest and also an extremely perilous land.

But to the current Ye Yuan, it was not all that dangerous.

With a Tier 3 demonic beast following by his side, he could go anywhere he wanted to in the thousand mile radius of the Endless Forest.

However, Ye Yuan normally would not let Yuan Fei follow by his side, but made him stay inside the spatial artifact.

Not only there were many students participating in the trial inside the Endless Forest, but there were also even more demonic beasts hunters. If they encountered anyone, they could only silence them permanently.

Ye Yuan did not wish to murder innocents, so it was better to lay low.

Also, Ye Yuan had the intention of tempering himself when he entered the Endless Forest. If he made Yuan Fei take the front for everything, it would lose the meaning of tempering.

A day later, Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou finally arrived at the Blackwater Ravine.

This place had babbling brooks with a beautiful forest. It was quite a nice place to go to.

The six hundred mile region is a boundary. Here, Tier 1 demonic beasts and Tier 2 demonic beasts mingled together.

Of course, this was also not an absolute assumption.

However, that martial artist which Ye Yuan treated was pretty unlucky. To have encountered the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python here could be considered super lucky.

According to the description by that martial artist, Ye Yuan determined that Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python might be Middle Stage Tier 2. This strength might not require Yuan Fei to come out. He might be able to handle it himself.

But Ye Yuan did not dare to be negligent. The Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python did not only have a formidable poisonous breathe, but its fleshy body was also very powerful. If one were to accidentally brush past by it, they would definitely suffer.

"According to the records, this Blackwater Ravine was originally a late-stage Tier 1 demonic beast's territory. But who knew when it became occupied by the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python. I reckon that there must be something that the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python likes here. Otherwise, it would not cling to this place. We might even obtain something nice." Ye Yuan transmitted his voice to Nanfeng Zhirou.

Nanfeng Zhirou was already long used to Ye Yuan's encyclopedic knowledge. She just asked, "Then what do we do now? Lure it out and kill it?"

Ye Yuan shook his head and said, "No rush. Let's sneak inside and check out the situation first."

The pair swallowed the Breath Concealing Pill and quietly sneaked into the Blackwater Ravine.

Traversing past layers of the dense forest, the two finally arrived close to the stream of water.

But right at that moment, from an empty space beside the stream, a series of intense fighting clamors sounded out.

Ye Yuan pulled aside the tree leaves to sneak a glance and actually saw two demonic beasts currently in the midst of a fierce battle.

One of them was a black python, roughly ten foot long. Looking closely, one could see that there was indeed a seven-colored stripe at its vital point. It was precisely the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python!

And the other demonic beast was a mighty white tiger; similarly a Tier 2 demonic beast.

Except that the white tiger's strength was a stage lower than the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python; just low-stage Tier 2.

The battle between the two was very intense. However, the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python clearly held the absolute upper-hand. That white tiger was currently already covered in injuries.

Bright red blood completely dyed that body of white fur, making it look very miserable.

However, that white tiger seemed to be very stubborn. It refused to take even a step back despite being injured to such an extent. Instead, it roared and took the initiative to attack the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python.

That manner of appearance showed that it clearly intended on taking it down with it.

"Ye Yuan, why doesn't that white tiger run away when it can't beat it?" Nanfeng Zhirou transmitted. Evidently, she also found it very strange.

Ye Yuan shook his head slightly and similarly transmitted his voice. "No idea. Maybe it has some reason that it can't retreat?"

"Demonic beasts also have reasons? I think it's just stupid and just have to fight to the death with that python. Could they be snatching territories? Such severe injuries, even if it wins, it most likely won't be able to survive."

"All life has spirituality. Even demonic beasts have feelings. You've also seen Yuan Fei. Low-tier demonic beasts don't have such complex emotions. But it refuses to fall back despite knowing that it's no match for it. I'm afraid that it really has its reasons."

While speaking, Ye Yuan pulled the tree leaves aside even more. The pair's visual field became even wider.

Entering their sight was a tiny white tiger the size of a cat was currently quivering there.

Nanfeng Zhirou could not contain her surprise as she turned to look at Ye Yuan.

Chapter 158: Sword Driving Technique!

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

The little white tiger bared its fangs as the fur on its entire body stood on its ends. A low cat-like roar even came out of its mouth every now and then. No matter how one looked at it, it looked very cute.

And yet, under this sort of tragic circumstance, the little white tiger's roar seemed to be so helpless and pitiful.

Ye Yuan's heart shuddered for no reason as if he saw the former him.

"Ye Yuan, let's save that white tiger? Look at that little white tiger. It's really so pitiful." At this time, Nanfeng Zhirou's words sounded out by Ye Yuan's ears.

Ye Yuan turned to look but saw that Nanfeng Zhirou's face was already covered in tears. Clearly, she was deeply touched by that white tiger's profound parental love.

Under this sort of situation, it was obvious that waiting for the white tiger and the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python to fight until both were heavily injured would be the best, but Ye Yuan really could not do it.

Ye Yuan did not say anything. He just nodded slowly and took out the Canghua Sword, saying to Nanfeng Zhirou, "The weak point of the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python is that seven-colored flower. This is the high ground; an excellent place for ambushing. I'll go down and lure it over here, you find an opportunity to kill it in one blow!"

Nanfeng Zhirou nodded with all her might. The current her was also filled with a powerful resentment towards that python.

At the moment, the black python and white tiger was intoxicated with the intense battle. The white tiger suffered setbacks repeatedly, but it refused to back even one step.

The white tiger was already an arrow at the end of its flight. It only relied on a single obsession to forcefully hold on and not collapse.

That black python locked onto an opening and shot forward abruptly, directly targeting the white tiger's lower jaw.

The white tiger's actions already could not keep up with the black python at all any longer. If this bite landed, the white tiger will die without any doubt!

Right at this time, a white light sneak attacked the black python's face with lightning speed.

This happened too suddenly, the black python was unable to react to it at all. The white light directly struck its eye.

Phhssstt!

The black python's eyes instantly became a bloody mess.

An awful shrill cried out. The black python rolled on the ground in pain. The enormous body twisted non-stop and its tail swept around randomly filled with attack power.

Even Ye Yuan did not dare to rush up rashly at this time. He just gave the dying white tiger a look.

The white tiger gazed towards Ye Yuan with full of gratitude.

The little white tiger saw that the black python suffered injuries and plucked up its courage to come over to its mother's side. It used its tiny tongue to nurse its mother's wounds while periodically giving off whining sounds, appearing to be in great sorrow.

However, this scene did not continue for too long. The black python roused from its pain, and a grating howl indicated that it was currently in an enraged state.

The black python used its remaining eye to stare fixedly at Ye Yuan. But Ye Yuan just looked at it smilingly and even crooked his finger at it, seemingly very contemptuous.

That Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python flew into an even greater rage seeing the situation. With a swoosh, it vanished.

Ye Yuan was prepared long ago and naturally would not be successfully ambushed by it.

Similarly, with an Instant Flash, Ye Yuan vanished on the spot. That black python struck thin air.

"Big stupid snake, I'm over here!" Ye Yuan once again crooked his finger at the black python over at the other side.

The Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python seemed to understand Ye Yuan's words. It rushed towards Ye Yuan once more recklessly.

Ye Yuan's movement technique was not much slower than the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python. He evaded once again.

Having repeated this twice, as long as Ye Yuan dodged one more time, the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python would enter the place where Nanfeng Zhirou was lying in ambush.

Nanfeng Zhirou was also sharpening her blade as she stared fixedly at the seven colored flower at the black python's vital point.

Ye Yuan dodged and entered the ambush radius. Just as he taunted the black python once again and Nanfeng Zhirou was on the verge of striking, the black python actually hesitated!

"Damn it. This black python is naturally cunning. It actually grew suspicious of my actions!" Ye Yuan's cursed in his heart.

The Canghua Sword shook, and a sword beam fired out again. Except, the black python that was prepared would not be struck so easily. It avoided it with a slide of its body.

It was just that after the black python dodged, it still did not head over here.

A bad premonition arose in Ye Yuan's heart. Indeed, the black python suddenly turned around and actually charged towards the white tiger!

"Damn it!" Ye Yuan silently cursed and chased over with his sword.

Nanfeng Zhirou laid in ambush for so long, but that black python actually ran away. She could not help feeling very depressed.

However, her lying in ambush did not hold much meaning anymore at this point. With a large stride out, she also chased after.

This black python was abnormally cunning. Even though it gave away its back to Ye Yuan currently, it swayed around. There was simply no way of getting an accurate aim. Ye Yuan fired out multiple sword beams in a go and was evaded by it.

In a blink, the black python was only several dozen meters away from the white tiger. This distance was merely an insignificant matter to it.

The white tiger was already on the verge of death at the moment. After that fierce burst of strength just now passed, it could no longer muster up strength at this time.

It was not the black python's match from the start and was even bitten several times by the black python. Currently, it was not only covered in wounds, but it was also already deeply poisoned. How could it have the strength to resist?

Seeing the black python pounce over, despair showed in the white tiger's eyes. Its gaze turned towards the tiny white tiger by its side as its eyes were full of unwillingness and helplessness.

The little white tiger did not appear to be as frightened as it originally was at the current moment. Instead, it was snarling, baring its teeth at the black python and waving its claws about. It was sufficiently imposing, but sadly, it was too weak and tiny.

Nanfeng Zhirou was greatly anxious when she saw the situation. A series of sword beams shot over. It was just that her sword beams were much weaker compared to Ye Yuan's. Even if there were occasionally a few which landed on the black python's body, it neither hurt nor itched.

Ye Yuan knew that it was too late. He immediately gritted his teeth. "There's only this move! Little white tiger, if I slip up, don't blame me!"

In a thought, Ye Yuan lightly tossed the Canghua Sword up into the air and then put his both hands together to form a sword, pointing it towards the Canghua Sword.

A strand of soul strength wrapped around essence energy escaped from the fingertip and directly penetrated the Canghua Sword!

Just like that, the Canghua Sword actually suspended in midair!

"Sword Driving Technique! Go!"

Ye Yuan pointed with one hand; the Canghua Sword turned into a streak of flowing light as it swooshed out, directly piercing the black python!

The black python seemed to have sensed something, the speed of it pouncing towards the little white tiger became slower. But its body's swaying became even more pronounced and even more difficult to pinpoint!

Canghua Sword's speed was even faster than the sword beams released by Ye Yuan earlier. Even so, this sword still missed.

The black python gave off that horrible grating howl once again as if it was expressing a victory declaration.

Ye Yuan's face darkened, but his fingertip still pulled backward again. The Canghua Sword rapidly drew a lone line across the air and turned into a streak of flowing light, shooting towards the black python once more.

This time around, because the Canghua Sword was too near to the black python, the black python did not expect this sword could actually return after going off. Being caught off guard, it was pierced through by Ye Yuan!

"Sss, sss . . ."

The black python started rolling on the ground in agony once more, but it did not die straight away.

This sword did not stab its vital areas!

"Senior Apprentice Sister, quickly go and follow up with a strike!" Ye Yuan clenched his teeth and shouted.

With a cling , the Canghua Sword dropped on the ground. Ye Yuan was also sitting slumped on the ground, his entire person completely exhausted.

Only now did Nanfeng Zhirou recover from her surprise and hurriedly swung her sword to follow up with a blade.

However, before Nanfeng Zhirou even approached, the black python's tail swept by, nearly hitting her.

Nanfeng Zhirou was very anxious. She did not expect that this black python's vitality was actually so tenacious. She was actually unable to approach momentarily.

Just then, a streak of white light flashed across . . .

Chapter 159: Natural Born Sovereign

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou both stared wide-eyed as they watched this scene in disbelief.

The little white tiger scurried to the black python's vital spot like lightning, rushing at that seven-colored flower, and biting down on it!

"Sssss. . . Sssss. . ."

The black python itself also did not think that this little white tiger would actually take advantage of his misfortune to profit from it. Furthermore, it could have bitten any other place, yet, it just had to bite down on its vital spot!

This was lethal!

The black python shook its body repeatedly, trying to shake off that little white tiger.

However, the little white tiger's teeth locked down on that seven-colored flower securely and refused to let go. No matter how much the black python rocked, it just did not loosen up!

Initially, the black python had its vital spot bitten, it already could not unleash a tenth of its full strength. With the addition of the injuries from battling the white tiger along with the wounds Ye Yuan inflicted, it would no longer move anymore after some time. It was just that it still twitched every now and then.

A Tier 2 middle-stage demonic beast was actually bitten to death by a little white tiger just like that!

Even though the black python was already unmoving, the little white tiger still refused to release its bite as it chomped down firmly without letting go.

Ye Yuan picked up the Canghua Sword, walked over to the black python's side, and petted the little white tiger's small head. The tiny white tiger seemed to have understood and only let go then.

Ye Yuan was also afraid that the little white tiger did not bite viciously enough and supplemented another stab on the seven-colored flower, thoroughly ending the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python's life.

After the little white tiger released its bite, it no longer bothered with the black python, but instead, returned to its mother's side and used its tiny tongue to lick her wounds.

Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou turned to look at each other and also did not know what to say.

The two of them expended such an enormous effort, but the result was that it was this little fellow who gave the killing blow.

But the speed which the little fellow displayed just now also made them have a completely new appraisal of it. Once this little fellow matures, it would be an absolutely terrifying character!

Nanfeng Zhirou glanced at the white tiger lying on the ground and looked at Ye Yuan again.

Ye Yuan understood her meaning, but he shook his head and said, "She is too gravely injured. Moreover, she's also poisoned by that Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python. There's already nothing I can do."

Nanfeng Zhirou said without any sign of giving up, "Didn't you bring a lot of medicinal pills? There should be detoxification pills and healing pills, right?"

Ye Yuan sighed and said, "It's useless. Demonic beasts' physique is different from humans. They must use corresponding medicinal pills. The medicinal pills I brought along is no use to her."

The medicinal pills used by demonic beasts formed a system of its own. They were different than the medicinal pills used by humans.

Also, only Ye Yuan this sort of Alchemy Dao great master could achieve such brilliant accomplishments in both systems at the same time.

However, even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice. Presently, there was no pill refinement room here. Without ingredients, no matter how amazing Ye Yuan was, it was also impossible for him to pull medicinal pills out from nothing.

Ye Yuan saying this was the equivalent of sentencing the white tiger to death. Nanfeng Zhirou could not bear it. Seeing the whimpering little white tiger, her tears started overflowing uncontrollably once again.

Ye Yuan also found it hard to endure.

He was not a person overflowing with compassion. It was just that the scene just now was overly similar to his experience in his past life.

Although the white tiger was just a demonic beast, he still felt as if he experienced it himself.

The white tiger's eyes which were originally already shut gradually opened at this time. It also seemed to have recovered a bit of consciousness.

Seeing its mother open her eyes, the little white tiger involuntarily started jumping about in front of her in joy.

The white tiger's gaze was full of loving kindness; completely unlike a fearsome demonic beast.

Except, Ye Yuan and Nanfeng Zhirou both knew that this was the white tiger's final radiance before death. Most likely, it was already done for.

The white tiger looked at the little white tiger with tender love, but its gaze shifted to Ye Yuan as it revealed an imploring intention.

After that, she used all the strength in her body to use her head to push the little white tiger to Ye Yuan's feet.

This white tiger was actually entrusting her child to him!

Honestly speaking, Ye Yuan did not wish to become a nanny. He still had many things he needed to do and had no time to waste in this area.

Even though he pitied this mother and son pair very much, he still felt that it was rather troublesome to ask him to raise this little white tiger.

The white tiger clearly saw through Ye Yuan's reluctance and could not help but give a low roar; akin to a final lamenting whine. The intent of begging was already very clear.

Nanfeng Zhirou could not help flying into a rage when she saw Ye Yuan hesitating. "Ye Yuan, do you still have any sympathy? The little white tiger is already so pitiful. It lost its mother when it's so small. Leaving him here unchecked will cause him to be killed by other demonic beasts! If you aren't taking him in, I'll shelter him! Come, little white tiger!"

But the little white tiger did not approach Nanfeng Zhirou but jumped back. It was evident that it was unwilling to leave its mother.

The white tiger gave another roar, and her gaze became stern. The little white tiger looked like a child who did something wrong as it lowered its head, but it still headed over to Ye Yuan's feet.

When Nanfeng Zhirou saw this, her temper rose again.

"Hey, little fellow, is your brain even working? He doesn't even want you, why did you run over to him for? Quickly come over to my side!"

As she spoke, Nanfeng Zhirou reached out to hug the little white tiger, but the little white tiger squeezed in between Ye Yuan's legs and just refused to let Nanfeng Zhirou hold it.

Like this, Nanfeng Zhirou became even more livid. She was originally someone with a fiery temper, but her goodwill was taken for ill intentions. It would be weirder if she did not get angry!

"Run some more! Keep running! Do you believe whether or not I'll yank your ears!" Nanfeng Zhirou had her hands on her hips as she said with an enraged face.

But the reply was a cat-like roar.

This one human and one tiger actually started to play catching around Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan was driven to a point where he was at a loss whether or cry or to laugh by Nanfeng Zhirou. It turns out that this woman did not differentiate between demons or humans when she lost her temper!

"Alright, alright. Stop circling. Keep going in circles, and I'm going to get dizzy! I'll keep the little white tiger, alright?" Ye Yuan said impatiently.

Ye Yuan pulled Nanfeng Zhirou off and lowered his body to speak to the white tiger. "Don't you worry, since I promised you, I'll take good care of him. Following me, his power in the future will definitely be above yours. You can go in peace."

Not that Ye Yuan was callous, but it was because this white tiger was already done for long ago. The reason why it still did not pass away was because Ye Yuan had yet to promise it.

There was plainly a language barrier, but the white tiger seemed to have understood what Ye Yuan said. It gave off another low roar as if it was thanking Ye Yuan, and then gradually, it fell silent.

The little white tiger also seemed to have sensed something. It whined mournfully as it came to its mother's side, wanting to prop up its mother using its small head. But the white tiger did not react in the slightest.

Nanfeng Zhirou's tears poured out once again when she saw the situation. The awe of a tiger presently earlier was all gone.

Such an emotional woman!

Ye Yuan sighed and directly sat down on the spot, swallowing a medicinal pill to begin recovering.

The sword driving technique was also a divine soul secret art with extremely powerful might. It was just that it was still somewhat forceful for the current Ye Yuan. Just using it for a round trip just now already severely overdrew his essence energy and soul strength.

After adjusting his condition for some time and waking up, Ye Yuan discovered that the little white tiger was currently circling around him.

Seeing Ye Yuan look over, the little white tiger wagged its tail and tunneled into Ye Yuan's bosom.

"I'm perplexed. You don't even want him, so why does this little white tiger stick to you so?" Nanfeng Zhirou said very defiantly.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This is charisma! I was born with the demeanor of a sovereign and can attract countless others to follow me. Yii . . . This little white tiger . . . is not normal!"

Just as Ye Yuan was blowing his own trumpet, his expression changed.

Chapter 160: Divine Beast Progeny!

Translator: celefoata_ Editor: RegiusProfessor

"What is it? Is there something wrong with the little white tiger?" Nanfeng Zhirou's heart plummeted as she quickly asked.

Ye Yuan did not reply her and just turned the little white tiger all over to inspect several times and also used divine sense to investigate. His expression became increasingly solemn.

Nanfeng Zhirou was an anxious person. Seeing Ye Yuan mess around for so long and refusing to say anything, and his expression becoming uglier, she could not help asking anxiously, "Just what is going on? Talk! Seriously, you'll be the death of me! He won't die, right?"

Only now did Ye Yuan look at Nanfeng Zhirou as if he was staring at a retard. "What? Die? He couldn't be better!"

Nanfeng Zhirou finally let out a sigh of relief but immediately said huffily, "If he's fine, then what are you pulling that long face for? Deliberately scaring me? Why can't you finish saying everything in one go? Just what happened to him?"

"It can be counted as we picked up a treasure. This little thing has a huge background!" Ye Yuan kept away his serious expression and seemed rather excited as he said.

"Huge background? Isn't it just a little white tiger? What background can it have? If it has backing, then why would it be forced to such an extent by a big black python?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked in suspicion.

She looked left and right and could not see just which aspect of this little white tiger was extraordinary.

Ye Yuan sighed and said, "How many times have I told you. Knowledge is power! Why don't you have any progress at all up till now? Without knowledge, even if you entered a treasure mountain, you'll also return empty-handed!"

Nanfeng Zhirou glared. "Are you telling or not? Why do you have so much nonsense?"

"Forget it. I already told you to educate yourself! It's true. That white tiger is just an ordinary white tiger, but this little white tiger is very different! Have you ever heard of the Four Phases Divine Beasts?"

"Of course I heard of that before. The eastern Azure Dragon, the western White . . ." Nanfeng Zhirou was in the midst of talking when she suddenly thought of something and said in astonishment, "This . . . You . . . You aren't about to tell me that this little white tiger is the White Tiger Divine Beast?"

Nanfeng Zhirou was stunned by Ye Yuan that even her words became stammers.

What kind of concept were Divine Beasts? They were the absolute sovereigns of this world!

Possessing the name of a Divine Beast, it was an existence that would surely step into the Deity Realm in the future as long as it did not die!

Ye Yuan casually picked up a little white tiger, and it was the Sovereign of the West, the White Tiger Divine Beast?

Are you kidding?

But Ye Yuan gave a laugh and said, "Of course he isn't a divine beast. However . . . he truly has the bloodline of the White Tiger Divine Beast! It's just that his bloodline is too thin. Wanting to become a divine beast . . . too difficult, way too difficult."

Ye Yuan naturally did not find it nice to say some things. In the Divine Realm, there were numerous demonic beasts that possessed divine beast bloodline. It was just that true pureblooded divine beast bloodline could no longer be found today.

Because in this stretch of heaven and earth, there was no longer the existence of Deity Realm. Naturally, there was also no existence of divine beasts!

Possessing a faint divine beast bloodline, future accomplishments would definitely be extraordinary.

As long as the strength of the bloodline is sufficient, stepping into the Demon Emperor realm was virtually guaranteed!

Demon Emperor realm was equivalent to the human Divine King realm.

Also, the majority of divine beast progenies possessed innate divine abilities. Once they stepped into the Demon Emperor realm, their power would become incredible.

In terms of the Divine Realm's pinnacle battle strength, there was actually not much difference between humans and the demon race.

"But, if he truly possessed divine beast bloodline, even if he doesn't become a divine beast, he should also be very amazing in the future, right?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked.

"Exactly! This little thing also has a name which belongs to itself, the Flowing Light White Tiger! A branch of the White Tiger Divine Beast's progenies! I truly did not expect that an ordinary white tiger could actually give birth to a Flowing Light White Tiger. Looks like this little fellow's ancestral origin is not simple!" Ye Yuan sighed in admiration.

"A Flowing Light White Tiger? No wonder when he wanted to kill this black python earlier, his speed was so fast. Really akin to a bundle of flowing light."

"En, the Flowing Light White Tiger is renowned for its speed. A mature Flowing Light White Tiger at the bare minimum has the strength of Tier 5, Taking Form! At that point, his speed can compare with flying profound artifacts!" Ye Yuan explained.

"So incredible? Then didn't we acquire a treasure?" Nanfeng Zhirou exclaimed in surprise.

Above spirit artifacts were profound artifacts. The speed of flying profound artifacts was quick to the point it was inconceivable. The speed of Flowing Light White Tigers could compare to flying profound artifacts. One could see the extent of their speed!

Ye Yuan laughed and said, "You're thinking too much. A Flowing Light White Tiger, from newborn to maturity, need at least a thousand years. After he grows up, I'd have long reached the Divine King realm!"

Nanfeng Zhirou curled her mouth and said with disdain, "Keep bragging! Divine King realm even! I've never even heard of what Divine King realm. Utter bullshit!"

Not that Nanfeng Zhirou was ignorant, but because this place, the State of Qin, was too small.

Starting point determines one's horizons. How could the people of the Boundless World know how the realms in the Divine Realm were divided?

If they could rise to a certain realm, their horizons would naturally broaden.

Towards Nanfeng Zhirou's disdain, Ye Yuan just smiled but did not explain. He and Nanfeng Zhirou were simply not on the same level. There was naturally no way of communicating.

"But with me around, his realm might catch up to. Maybe even surpass Yuan Fei's within ten years!" Nanfeng Zhirou said with a smile.

"So fast? You aren't bragging again, are you?" Nanfeng Zhirou asked in disbelief.

"When have you ever seen me brag? This little fellow's foundation is much better than Yuan Fei's. As long as I use medicinal pills to supplement, his future accomplishments definitely won't be low. Furthermore, this small fellow has already awoken its bloodline just now. Its future cultivation speed would be very rapid!" Ye Yuan explained.

About this point, Nanfeng Zhirou did not doubt Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan's attainments in the Alchemy Dao had already completely exceeded her understanding. He would frequently pull out medicinal pills that she had never even heard of.

Also, he dared to promise Yuan Fei to let him breakthrough to Tier 4. It was likely not spoken carelessly.

Then would it not be a very effortless thing for him to help a little white tiger?

"Fine, I know that you're amazing! The little white tiger is so adorable. How about we give him a name? Look how white and fluffy he is; why not call him Whitey?" Nanfeng Zhirou directly decided it.

"Roar!"

The little white tiger roared in a low cat-like tone to show its protest. Clearly, it disliked this name.

Nanfeng Zhirou fumed and said, "Humph! Even if you don't like it, you'll have to accept it! It's Whitey!"

"Hmm, when he runs, it looks like a beam of white light. I say . . . call him White Light, how's that?" Ye Yuan was asking the little white tiger.

The little white tiger arched in Ye Yuan's bosom. It was clear that it tacitly approved of this name.

"Haha, then in future, you're called White Light!" Ye Yuan said with a laugh.

"Humph! You ungrateful tiger! Just now, who was the one fighting hard before managing to keep you? This fellow was prepared to abandon you. He isn't a good person!" Nanfeng Zhirou said crossly.

"Roar!"

What replied her was White Light's angry roar.

"Alright, don't delay any more time here. We still have to search around this Blackwater Ravine. Perhaps there's good stuff! This Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python definitely discovered something to hang on here and not leave," Ye Yuan said as he interrupted Nanfeng Zhirou's provocation.

The pair found a place to bury the white tiger and also retrieved the Seven Colored Flowing Cloud Python's inner core, then brought White Light into the depths of the Blackwater Ravine.

Translator's thoughts: celefoata_

From your beloved translator, Celefoata:

Four legendary beasts/ Four Phases (Azure Dragon/Seiryu, White Tiger/Byakko, Vermillion Bird/Suzaku, Black Turtle/Genbu)

Taking Form = When a demon becomes powerful enough to take the form of humans. Prevalent in ancient Chinese folktales where a fox spirit would take the form of alluring, beautiful women to seduce men.
