Unrivaled Medicine God, page 289
Qin Hongtao nodded and said, “Alright. No problem!”
“Since the three of you are going follow Ye Yuan in the future, keep in mind to not give in to personal feelings. His strength has already surpassed yours by far too much now. You guys have to double up yourselves. Not just anyone has the qualifications to follow by a powerhouse’s side!” Ning Yixian said solemnly.
The three people’s expression tensed up, and they all nodded their heads somberly.
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan and Ye Hang conversed all the way till midnight before returning to their own rooms.
In is room, with just a will of his mind, he arrived inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda.
“This Nine Characters True Word Formula is truly incomparably profound. The ‘Lin’ character’s first hand seal, I’m unable to form it to this day. But through such a long time of fumbling about, I’m only missing one final step as well. I wonder if my Heart Realm can break through after forming this first hand seal.”
This period of time, apart from cultivating the Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, Ye Yuan was comprehending the ‘Lin’ character.
Except that this rate of progress was even slower than he imagined.
Ye Yuan had been anticipating all this while that he could have some breakthrough in Heart Realm after this ‘Lin’ character had some breakthrough.
Ye Yuan closed his eyes slightly and started visualizing the ‘Lin’ character.
Through this period of visualization, Ye Yuan could faintly sense that this ‘Lin’ character had a total of nine hand seals. But what he could visualize clearly right now was only this first hand seal.
These nine hand seals formed a complete seal. If one could completely acquaint themselves with these nine hand seals, the power would likely be unimaginable!
In a twinkle, a night passed. Dawn was breaking.
All of a sudden, a rather mysterious sensation poured into Ye Yuan’s heart.
Ye Yuan opened both eyes abruptly, both hands swiftly forming a seal!
Ye Yuan who was initially just lacking one final step actually successfully formed it this time!
Right at this moment, Ye Yuan’s heart rate suddenly sped up. The Heart Realm which had already reached a bottleneck originally actually burst through directly!
Except, this final result made Ye Yuan rather disappointed.
“Sigh . . . I thought that I’d already reached the threshold of Heart Like Monolith. Turns out that it’s just the Heart Like Still Water’s bottleneck! No wonder Heart Realm boundaries are so hard to break through. Just the first level of Heart Like Still Water is so challenging already. If I didn’t acquire this Nine Characters True Word Formula, I’m afraid I don’t know how long I’d have to be stuck at this bottleneck,” Ye Yuan said helplessly.
Chapter 594. Slaughter Our Way In! |
Heart Realm this sort of thing was a mystery even among mysteries. Even in the Divine Realm, nobody could give the accurate minor boundaries divisions either.
All along, Ye Yuan had half-baked knowledge regarding Heart Realm as well.
Along with the time of him entering Heart Like Still Water Heart Realm getting increasingly longer, he thought that he had already walked very far along the path of Heart Realm.
But looking at it now, it was not the case at all!
Ye Yuan realized that he probably only stayed for a time on a Heart Like Still Water’s minor boundary up until now.
And succeeding in the ‘Lin’ character’s first hand seal, Ye Yuan finally broke through this minor boundary.
Ye Yuan entered into Heart Like Still Water Heart Realm and fastidiously sensed the changes after breaking through.
However, he discovered to his dismay that there did not seem to be too obvious a change.
“Could it be that apart from reducing the expenditure on heart force, there aren’t other changes? The advancement in Heart Realm is a kind of auxiliary realm. There must still be other effects! Oh right! Comprehending concepts!”
Ye Yuan suddenly had an inspiration and started to comprehend concepts.
At this time, Ye Yuan discovered to his joy that his speed when comprehending concepts actually obtained a substantial increase!
This sort of enhancement was not worth mentioning when relatively speaking about the entire concept’s comprehension duration, but accumulating months and years, this sort of enhancement margin would be very terrifying!
Ye Yuan attempted to comprehend the Scorching Concept earlier. He discovered that the short while of comprehension efficiency just now was twofold than before!
In the past, Ye Yuan already noticed that under Heart Like Still Water Heart Realm, the speed of comprehending concepts was slightly faster compared to normal.
But breaking through the bottleneck now, he did not expect that the extent of the increase would actually be so great!
“Heh, so that’s how it is! Really looking forward to what kind of changes Heart Realm will have after comprehending the second hand seal!”
Ye Yuan who tasted the benefits gave rise to a strong interest in the eight hand seals at the back of the ‘Lin’ character.
If he were to fully comprehend the nine hand seals, then wouldn’t the comprehension speed of concepts be ridiculous?
But, on this point, Ye Yuan also deeply sensed the powerful aspect of this Nine Characters True Word Formula.
Just a ‘Lin’ character had such formidable might.
One had to know that the speed of comprehending concepts was entirely dependent on talent. If there wasn’t any heaven-defying lucky chance, it was simply impossible to have any change.
And the ‘Lin’ character could actually cultivate and advance his Heart Realm. It could even promote the speed of concepts comprehension through Heart Realm. This was simply unheard of!
This was equivalent to saying that a martial artist’s cultivation could totally disregard talent!
Such an effect was simply too heaven-defying!
However, cultivating the Nine Characters True Word Formula with Ye Yuan’s talent, the effects were clearly more prominent!
This made Ye Yuan having immense interest in the other eight characters too. When he had time, he must study them well.
Right at this time, Xu Zihui’s lowered voice came from outside the door, “Younger Brother Ye, Qin Yan the three of them have already been waiting for a long time.”
Ye Yuan went out and said to Xu Zihui, “I’ve made Elder Brother wait for long. I’ll head over right now.”
Walking a few steps, Ye Yuan suddenly turned around again and said, “Oh yeah, Elder Brother, after coming back from this trip, I’ll assist you to break through to the Divine Traversing Realm! This period of time, you think of ways to gather these few kinds of medicinal herbs. Wait till I come back, I’ll help you refine medicinal pills!”
As he said, Ye Yuan threw Xu Zihui a jade slip.
Xu Zihui practically received the jade slip quiveringly. He had already been stuck at the Ninth Level Soul Sea Realm for a very long time but kept on failing to find the opportunity to breakthrough.
To the Endless World’s martial artists, Divine Traversing Realm was a massive threshold. The vast majority of martial artists were unable to cross it.
One should not look at how those Divine Traversing Realm experts in the various Northern Domain’s great sects were as many as dogs. In comparison to the entire number Endless World’s martial artists, Divine Traversing Realm experts were truly very rare.
It was unknown how many Soul Sea Realm experts harbored grievances in front of this massive threshold.
Xu Zihui’s age was not considered young either. His hope of breaking through was already increasingly bleak. He himself was almost giving up all hope.
So these few years, he had his thoughts placed on grooming his son all along and was rather negligent with his own cultivation instead.
He never would have thought that he could actually really break through to Divine Traversing Realm one day. How could this not agitate him?
As for the words Ye Yuan said, he never doubted them before.
Ye Yuan opening a forum and giving a sermon in Wu Fang City caused a huge sensation. Xu Zihui already knew that.
He knew that even City Lord, His Excellency, could not possibly reach such a level too!
What Ye Yuan was lacking right now was just cultivation realm!
Which was also to say that Ye Yuan had confidence in breaking through to Soul Sea Realm before coming back this time!
Xu Zihui was just about to say a whole bunch of appreciative words only to hear Ye Yuan say, “Alright, is there still a need for such formalities between us? Swallow the words in your stomach back down!”
Xu Zihui was stupefied, then immediately smiled fatuously and said, “This favor, Elder Brother accepts it!”
“Huhu, that’s right!” Ye Yuan said smilingly.
. . . . . .
Roughly ten days later, Ye Yuan, the five of them, put away the spirit boat they used and descended on a mountain range ten thousand miles outside of Crimsonlight City.
“Brother Ye, a fiendish aura is surging to the skies in the direction of Crimsonlight City. Looks like these Fierce Gale World martial artists all lost their mind in the slaughtering! Just how long has it been to actually accumulate such a horrifying fiendish air?!” Qin Yan said.
Ye Yuan also knew that these few people were following him just for the sake of seeking a lucky chance. So he did not go overboard either and let them address him Brother Ye would suffice.
Although it was rather weird, it sounded much better than master or whatever.
Ye Yuan’s expression darkened slightly too, and he said, “Even though Fierce Gale World martial artists are intrepid, they shouldn’t fall so low to the extent of becoming butchers. This Zhao Tianyin truly deserves death!”
Separated by a distance of ten thousand miles, Ye Yuan they all could feel the fiendish aura surging to the skies. It could be seen just how many people those Fierce Gale World martial artists killed in this period of time.
The dozen over southeastern cities were probably already reduced to savage battlefields!
“Brother Ye, then what should we do now?” Liu Hong asked.
These four people were uncertain what Ye Yuan planned on doing as well.
Five people coming to support such a large city. This was simply a fantastical tale.
And Ye Yuan kept his mouth tightly shut along the way too as if he did not have the intention of explaining. This made the intense itch in their hearts even harder to endure.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, “Enter the city!”
The four people were stunned. Guo Taoqun said in surprise, “Brother Ye, according to the reports, in order to prevent spies from sneaking in, all the transmission arrays in the city has long been destroyed already. Without transmission arrays, how do we enter the city?”
After Crimsonlight City sent out the courier to request reinforcements, they destroyed all of the transmission arrays.
Now, Crimsonlight City’s grand array was activated, and the city gates tightly shut. It was simply impossible to go in.
So when Ye Yuan said to enter the city, the four people all felt very surprised.
Under such circumstances, how should they enter the city?
Ye Yuan did not reply, but countered with a question, “The array formation that I taught you guys, how’s the rehearsal?”
Upon hearing that, Guo Taoqun said excitedly, “Heh, Brother Ye’s Four Symbols Battle Formation is indeed formidable! With the four of our strength coordinating with the array formation, being evenly-matched with late-stage Soul Sea martial artists is nothing difficult too!”
Ye Yuan smiled slightly when he heard and said, “Very good. Then let’s . . . slaughter our way in!”
Chapter 595. Seeing Shangguan Lingyun Again |
“S-Slaughter our way in?”
Guo Taoqun almost sprained his tongue. The other three people clearly had choked up expressions too. They did not think that Ye Yuan would actually say such crazy words.
Liu Hong swallowed his saliva and said, “Brother Ye, the Fierce Gale World’s five-way great army, the martial artists are probably as many as in the millions. Among them, there are no shortage of late-stage Soul Sea Realm experts! Slaughter our way in . . . That isn’t too likely to work, right?”
Ye Yuan said coolly, “What? Scared? There’s still time now. You guys return first then. I’ll just go in alone.”
With this, the four proud children of heaven got stimulated.
Guo Taoqun said stammeringly, “S-Scared of what?! Men have to die heroically! I’ll fight with you!”
Yin Yanhua’s beautiful eyes flickered, and she said, “I’m going too!”
Ye Yuan looked at the other two with a half-smile and said, “What about you guys?”
The two gritted their teeth and said, “Go!”
“The four of you just need to bother with slaughtering a path in. Don’t need to care about anything else. Leave the rest to me. Remember, don’t break away from the array formation no matter what!” Ye Yuan warned.
The four people’s expressions became severe, and they nodded their heads to acknowledge one after another.
. . . . . .
A distance of ten thousand miles was not far for these people. After half a day, four people appeared in front of the Fierce Gale World’s great army.
As far as the eye could see, the dense mass were all human heads, striking terror into the hearts of Liu Hong, the four people.
These were all powerful martial artists and not mortal armies!
So many people, each person spitting a mouthful of spittle was also sufficient to drown the four of them!
But Ye Yuan did not show too much expression on his face. He said indifferently, “You all just treat it like you’re still inside the Vast Heaven Pagoda. Most of these martial artists are also just Crystal Formation and Sea Transformation. Soul Sea Realm experts are only the minority comparatively speaking. With your strength coordinating through the Four Symbols Battle Formation, slaughtering our way in shouldn’t be hard.”
The Four Symbols Battle Formation was a Tier 4 array formation with immense might. It was especially suited for battle.
Not only could this array formation reduce the four people’s essence energy consumption, but it could also increase the four people’s average combat power even more so!
Liu Hong, the four of them, were originally the Endless World’s pinnacle geniuses. After coming out of the Vast Heaven Pagoda, they had each already broken through to Second Level Soul Sea.
With their strength, dealing with ordinary middle-stage Soul Seas was absolutely not an issue.
With the Four Symbols Battle Formation, the four of them working together to deal with ordinary late-stage Soul Seas was also no object.
Along the way, the mission that Ye Yuan assigned to them was to rehearse this Four Symbols Battle Formation.
These four people were all talented and brilliant people. Though the time was short on this trip, they were already considered to have learned the rudiments of this set of array formation.
The five people’s appearance immediately alarmed the Fierce Gale World’s great army. A large group of martial artists came up and fenced the few of them in a tight ring.
“It’s Endless World martial artists! Kill without mercy!”
These Fierce Gale World martial artists clearly lost their minds with the killing already. Upon seeing the five people, they were going to take action and kill people without a word.
When Liu Hong the four people saw the Fierce Gale World martial artists’ actions, fury surged in their hearts with a fwoom.
The four people went into battle formation and started killing!
Liu Hong, the four people, were all Soul Sea Realm experts. They were originally cranes standing among chickens in front of these ordinary martial artists to begin with. Coordinating with the Four Symbols Battle Formation, the four of them were akin to tigers entering a flock of sheep. They immediately cut a large swath. Wailing sound rose from all directions.
But these Fierce Gale World martial artists all did not fear death. Seeing this sort of situation, not only did they not retreat, they became even more frenzied instead.
Ye Yuan deployed a small cluster of Thousand Flowing Petals and followed behind the four step by step, like strolling idly in a courtyard.
Occasionally, some who did not have eyesight came in front of him, and the petals directly reaped their lives.
Ye Yuan discovered that each one of these Fierce Gale World martial artists all had immensely heavy fiendish aura, their state akin to insanity. Evidently, there were considerable Endless World martial artists’ fresh blood on their hands.
Seeing this scene, Ye Yuan also discovered that he had somewhat underestimated Zhao Tianyin’s charisma in the Fierce Gale World.
No wonder the Purple Mansion Sect did not hesitate to destroy the Six Extreme Seals Grand Array to link together the realm passageway after lurking in the Endless World for several thousand years.
The power of faith was truly frightening!
Continuing according to this sort of situation, these martial artists would most likely lose themselves in the end, becoming a machine that only knew slaughter.
“What on earth does this Zhao Tianyin want to do?” Ye Yuan’s brows could not help furrowing.
. . . . . .
The disturbance stirred in this corner spread to the central army’s main tent very quickly.
A young man with a dignified bearing stood in the air and looked towards that corner.
“Lord Shangguan, no idea where several fellows who don’t fear death popped out from. To actually dare rush at our great army. This subordinate will send people to exterminate them right now!”
The person speaking was called Deng Sheng; he was one of the main commanders in the five-way great army with a Ninth Level Soul Sea strength!
This young man in front of him was only Seventh Level Soul Sea strength, but Deng Sheng was extremely deferential towards him.
