Unrivaled Medicine God, page 1044
Long Zhi carried the unconscious Long Xiaochun and said coolly, “Lord Zixu rest assured, Long Zhi won’t stop you again.”
Similarly a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, Long Zhi was very clear that the dignity of a Heavenly Emperor could not be violated.
Today, for Long Xiaochun’s sake, Heavenly Emperor Zixu already put down his dignity and did not stoop to her level.
But if they reached for a yard after taking an inch, no one could bear the fury of a Heavenly Emperor.
The term divine war could indeed threaten Heavenly Emperor Zixu, but it was also impossible to make a Heavenly Emperor give in limitlessly.
For the sake of not letting Long Xiaochun mess around, Long Zhi could only knock her out.
Indeed, launching a divine war for a True God Realm was not worth it!
Even though Long Zhi was very curious about Ye Yuan, this curiosity was not enough to let him protect Ye Yuan to death.
Heavenly Emperor Zixu nodded slightly, turned to Ye Yuan, and said with a cold smile, “Heaven has a path, but you refuse to walk! Hell has no gate, yet you want to barge inside! Now, nobody can save you from up in the heavens to down below the earth!”
“Who said that nobody can save him?”
Just as Heavenly Emperor Zixu’s aura surged to the sky, a man in a blue garment slowly walked out of the void with his hands behind his back, blocking in front of Ye Yuan.
The arrival was a middle-aged man with a long flowing beard, his complexion rosy akin to Marquis Guan Yu[1].
The middle-aged man with a flowing beard looked very ordinary, just like a mortal. But Heavenly Emperor Zixu’s facial expression was an unprecedented solemnness.
Seeing this middle-aged man in blue, Heavenly Emperor Zixu was akin to facing a great enemy as he said in a deep voice, “Who is your esteemed self? Could it be that you also want to butt into my Qilin Clan’s affairs?”
With his strength, he actually could not see through the blue-clothed man’s depths.
Ye Yuan looked at the back view of the man in blue and said coldly, “You finally came out!”
The man in blue ignored Heavenly Emperor Zixu, but he turned his head and said with surprise, “You knew that I was around?”
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “I didn’t know, but I could feel that there was someone watching here!”
The man in blue was slightly taken aback and said with a nod, “No wonder Master conferred you Second Sage. The title of Second Sage is fully deserving.”
The moment these words came out, everyone broke out into a commotion.
The pupils of the few great Heavenly Emperors also shrunk, their gazes revealing astonishment.
Who was the person who conferred Ye Yuan as Second Sage?
Sacred Ancestor High Priest!
This man in blue actually called Sacred Ancestor High Priest as his master. Then his status was already almost certain!
Sacred Ancestor High Priest’s 11 disciples, each one was an earth-shaking great figure.
Even the weakest High Priest Redplume was a late-stage Heavenly Emperor peerless powerhouse.
This one in front of them was clearly not High Priest Redplume; otherwise, Gongyang Lie would not have no reaction at all.
Then who was this person?
Even Ye Yuan’s icy-cold eyes also shrunk slightly.
He had long felt that someone was watching here. Furthermore, this aura, he had a very familiar feeling.
Hence, that was why he risked his life and also had to snatch the emperor bone back.
Giving the emperor bone to others with both hands was not his, Ye Yuan’s, style.
It was just that he also did not expect that Sacred Ancestor High Priest actually sent his own disciple over personally!
The entire incident was started by Qi Zhen. With the unexpected turn of events until now, several Heavenly Emperor powerhouses showed themselves.
In the end, it actually startled Sacred Ancestor High Priest!
Gongyang Lie had also never seen before the man in blue. But his status was high above, so Gongyang Lie had clearly heard about him before.
From the clues and inklings, he determined the identity of the man in blue and hurriedly bowed in salute and said, “Could Your Excellency be … High Priest Stardrive?”
The man in blue looked towards him and said coolly, “That’s right. It’s precisely this venerable.”
“It’s actually High Priest Stardrive! That’s Sacred Ancestor High Priest’s seventh disciple! His status is even above High Priest Redplume’s!”
“I didn’t expect it! Really didn’t expect it! I can actually see High Priest Stardrive’s true self one day!”
“Looks like we all underestimated Sacred Ancestor High Priest’s resolve!”
… …
All the demon race powerhouses in the city had devout looks, looking at the High Priest Stardrive above the void.
Sacred Ancestor High Priest was a paramount existence, his disciples similarly enjoyed the worship of the demon race powerhouses.
Their lineage created countless powerhouses for the demon race and also let the demon race be able to stand tall in the Heavenspan World.
This man in blue was precisely Ji Mo who was always by Sacred Ancestor High Priest’s side. He was known as High Priest Stardrive.
It was just that the name Ji Mo, extremely few people knew of it.
Gongyang Lie had a look of astonishment, and he slowly knelt down and said, “Old Servant Gongyang Lie, offer greetings to High Priest Stardrive!”
Ji Mo gave a cold snort and directly pointed a finger out.
Bang!
Gongyang Lie’s figure flew out backward, spurting out a mouthful of blood with a cough.
But he hurriedly crawled up and knelt back down.
Ji Mo said coolly, “Crippled ten thousand years of your cultivation and imprisonment for 5000 years of confinement! Go!”
Gongyang Lie’s complexion was deathly pale as he prostrated deeply and said, “Thank Lord Stardrive’s kindness of not killing!”
He smiled ruefully to no end in his heart.
He thought that Second Sage was merely conveniently set by Sacred Ancestor High Priest. What did a mere True God Realm count for?
But he severely underestimated Ye Yuan’s status in Sacred Ancestor High Priest’s heart!
High Priest Stardrive arriving here was absolutely not representing himself, but he was actually representing Sacred Ancestor High Priest!
Sending High Priest Stardrive over, the significance was extraordinary.
That was virtually equivalent to Sacred Ancestor High Priest arriving in person!
Everyone opened their eyes wide, looking at this scene in disbelief.
Similarly a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse, Gongyang Lie was simply like an ant in front of High Priest Stardrive!
Crippled your cultivation and confined you, you still had to thank the Lord for his kindness!
But everyone understood in their hearts that High Priest Stardrive was enraged because Gongyang Lie offended Ye Yuan.
The Qilin Clan bore down upon the borders with a great army, but not only Gongyang Lie did not protect Second Sage, he also actually even took the initiative to hand over Second Sage. He already committed a severe offense.

Chapter 2121. You Owe Second Sage! |
Taking care of Gongyang Lie, Ji Mo slowly turned around and looked at Heavenly Emperor Zixu as he said with a cold smile, “Heh, your Qilin Clan is really awe-inspiring!”
The entire incident, Ji Mo observed with cool detachment from the sidelines.
It was just that even though so many powerhouses present, only Ye Yuan alone discovered his existence.
As for the Qilin Clan’s show of authority, he naturally took it all into his sights.
The reason he did not take action was that he wanted to see Ye Yuan’s limits and also wanted to see how great Ye Yuan’s potential was.
Although Sacred Ancestor High Priest conferred Ye Yuan as Second Sage, actually, Ji Mo was the same as High Priest Redplume. They were more or less having some reservations about Ye Yuan.
A mere True God Realm powerhouse actually rode above 11 great disciples. This kind of thing, anyone would also feel that it was too ridiculous.
But watching this show, Ji Mo’s attitude toward Ye Yuan already completely changed.
Not only was Ye Yuan an unrivaled alchemy genius, making all alchemy geniuses pale in comparison, he was also a martial arts genius at the same time!
Ye Yuan’s combat power virtually made those in the same rank perspire from embarrassment.
What was more terrifying was that Ye Yuan actually grasped Dao mark with True God Realm cultivation.
No wonder his master viewed Ye Yuan as his opponent. Even if it was just in terms of Alchemy Dao, Ye Yuan surpassing them apprentice brothers in the future, was likely a sure bet too.
When Heavenly Emperor Zixu learned Ji Mo’s identity, he also sucked in a cold breath.
He never would have thought that Sacred Ancestor High Priest actually attached such importance to this so-called Second Sage, to actually send his direct disciple over personally.
Heavenly Emperors did not step into the mortal world.
But Ji Mo, this kind of apex existence, rarely even took part in the disputes of Heavenly Emperors.
A late-stage Heavenspan World peak powerhouse was this Heavenspan World’s true hegemon!
But High Priest Stardrive actually personally descended upon the human world for Ye Yuan!
But even if it was facing High Priest Stardrive, High Priest Stardrive also could not weaken the Qilin Clan’s imposing momentum. He immediately gave a bow toward Ji Mo and said in a deep voice, “Lord Stardrive’s words, Zixu doesn’t understand. Even if Ye Yuan is the Second Sage, he killed my Qilin Clan’s number one alchemy genius, making my clan suffer a great loss in strength in alchemy. He also seized my clan’s emperor bone. Could it be that my Qilin Clan is acting without any justifiable reason?”
High Priest Stardrive stared at Heavenly Emperor Zixu, staring until the latter shuddered. High Priest Stardrive said coolly, “Huhu, your Qilin Clan really knows how to play the blame game! Since Second Sage arrived in the west city, this emperor has been paying close attention. This matter was your Qilin Clan finding trouble first to begin with. Second Sage endured time and again, but you guys went from bad to worse. Forget about that Qi Zhen scrapped the agreement, he even threatened to make Second Sage offer up the emperor bone and make apologies. Heh heh, the Second Sage that Master personally conferred, but you all made him apologize. Are you guys looking down on Second Sage or looking down on Master? Mn?”
When he said the last word, Ji Mo glared fiercely. A powerful soul force stabbed straight for Heavenly Emperor Zixu’s divine soul.
Heavenly Emperor Zixu’s entire body trembled and actually knelt in front of Ji Mo uncontrollably.
While at this time, Ji Mo’s figure moved, moving aside, revealing Ye Yuan behind.
Heavenly Emperor Zixu’s kneeling just happened to kneel down toward Ye Yuan.
A late-stage Heavenly Emperor peerless powerhouse, furthermore, it was a high priest who was powerful in the divine soul aspect. How powerful was Ji Mo’s soul force?
If he was willing, just the stare earlier could turn Zixu’s soul to dust.
Heavenly Emperor Zixu’s face turned deathly pale, as if he fell gravely ill.
He looked at Ji Mo, his face full of alarm and fear.
High Priest Stardrive … was too strong!
Each and every one of the demon race powerhouses in the city was extremely shocked. The The Qilin Clan came in a threatening manner this time. In the end, two Heavenly Emperor powerhouses, one was suppressed and made to kneel by Ye Yuan, while the other was personally suppressed by High Priest Stardrive and also knelt down.
This face was utterly lost!
Furthermore, this time, High Priest Redplume even invited many reclusive demon race powerhouses over.
The Qilin Clan was considered to have completely tripped this time.
But the demons in the city were all worried. High Priest Stardrive was so domineering. Was he not afraid of the Qilin Clan’s revenge?
“Lord Stardrive … this is taking advantage of your power to bully people! Are you … bullying my Qilin Clan for having nobody?” Heavenly Emperor Zixu gritted his teeth and said.
Ji Mo smiled coldly when he heard that and said, “This emperor knows that your Qilin Clan is very strong, being not beneath my Priest Temple. But … it’s not your turn to come and question this emperor yet! This kneel, you owe Second Sage!”
Ji Mo’s gaze then turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, “Second Sage was personally conferred by Master. His status is even above us direct disciples. You, a mere Third Firmament Heavenly Emperor, came to humiliate my Priest Temple’s Second Sag. Isn’t that slapping Master’s face? It’s you who is bullying my Priest Temple for having nobody!”
Ji Mo’s voice was akin to a great bell, reverberated throughout the world.
His rage represented the Sacred Ancestor High Priest’s rage.
Originally, Ye Yuan’s Second Sage was merely a title,. No one would take it to heart.
But Ji Mo descending personally, the significance of Second Sage was totally different.
Hence, Heavenly Emperor Zixu’s kneel was not unjust!
Heavenly Emperor Zixu’s face was ashen. Same as everyone present, the Qilin Clan also underestimated the weight of Ye Yuan, this Second Sage.
Furthermore, this underestimation was a severe underestimation.
Sacred Ancestor High Priest did not treat him as a junior that could be molded, but Sacred Ancestor truly put Ye Yuan on a seat with equal footing.
The height of his expectations exceeded everyone’s imaginations!
Heavenly Emperor Zixu gritted his teeth and said, “Even so, my Qilin Clan also doesn’t tolerate Lord Stardrive to humiliate us like so!”
Ji Mo smiled faintly when he heard that and said, “Is that so? If you’re not convinced, you can invite the Qilin Clan’s powerhouses over. This emperor will await respectfully at any time! My Priest Temple doesn’t fear a divine war!”
When Heavenly Emperor Zixu heard that, his pupils could not help constricting.
Ji Mo said it very casually, but the weight of this sentence was too heavy!
“This … How can this be? Lord Second Sage is merely a True God Realm martial artist, but why would Sacred Ancestor High Priest value him so highly?”
“Sacred Ancestor High Priest actually has no qualms on launching a divine war for Second Sage!”
“Looks like we still underestimated Lord Second Sage’s status in Sacred Ancestor High Priest’s heart!”
… …
The demon race powerhouses present were all shook to the core.
High Priest Stardrive’s nonchalant words represented Sacred Ancestor High Priest’s powerful determination.
If the Qilin Clan dared to touch Ye Yuan, this divine war definitely could not be avoided.
Either battle or withdraw!
The power to choose was handed to the Qilin Clan.
Heavenly Emperor Zixu sucked in a deep breath, looked toward Ye Yuan with a complicated expression, and finally let out a sigh and said, “This matter, Zixu is unable to make a decision. But Lord Stardrive’s words, Zixu will definitely deliver it!”
Done talking, Heavenly Emperor Zixu stood up with some difficulty and planned on leaving.
“Stop. Did this emperor let you guys go?” Ji Mo said coolly.
Heavenly Emperor Zixu’s expression changed, and he said in a cold voice, “Why? Does Lord Stardrive really want to kill me? Although Zixu isn’t some important person. I also represent the Qilin Clan’s face. If I die here, this divine war will likely really can’t be avoided!”
Ji Mo did not seem to have heard his words. His gaze sweeping around, he slowly opened his mouth and said, “Today, all the people of virtue are here. Then let’s witness Second Sage’s strength together!”
Chapter 2122. Entering the Game |
Ji Mo flicked his sleeves grandly. A small and exquisite chessboard slowly flew out.
A majestic and insubstantial aura of Dao gushed out, instantly covering the entire world.
It was as if this chessboard was a world!
When people with extensive knowledge saw this, their faces could not help changing drastically as they cried out with surprise, “Ask Not! This is Ask Not! Only Ask Not has such a mysterious and unpredictable aura!”
Someone asked doubtfully, “Second Sage? Hasn’t Second Sage already cleared Ask Not before? Wouldn’t using this to exhibit his strength be a joke?”
“What the hell do you know! Sacred Ancestor High Priest has made countless rubbings of Ask Not and handed it to the various Priest Temples. But the rubbings of Ask Not chess game vary in concept. What’s enshrined by the various Priest Temples are merely the lowest-level version of Ask Not. It probably doesn’t even have one-ten-thousandth of the true Ask Not’s power!”
“In this case, this Ask Not chess game is very incredible?”
“Is there still a need to say? Would the Ask Not that High Priest Stardrive personally brought over be of the common sort?”
… …
Numerous demon race powerhouses were anxious and doubtful, looking at that tiny chessboard with incredible shock.
Ji Mo looked at Ye Yuan and opened his mouth and said, “Second Sage, Master said that you must be very interested in Ask Not. So he ordered me to bring it over. This chessboard is the real Ask Not!”
Ye Yuan’s pupils constricted, immediately revealing strong interest.
Heavenly Emperor Zixu, Heavenly Emperor Shaoyun, Long Zhi, and the rest, their pupils shrunk, revealing a look of astonishment.
Ask Not’s great reputation, even if they were in pseudo worlds, they had also heard of it.
This was the real Ask Not, an eternal chess game with boundless power!
“Huhu, the person who knows me well is still Sacred Ancestor High Priest! Challenging Ask Not the last time, the Medicine Ancestor was too weak! I truly couldn’t muster up interest!” Ye Yuan said with a laugh.
