Unrivaled Medicine God, page 422
With Ye Yuan’s experience and knowledge, he naturally would not make mistakes here.
But when he truly started to cultivate this martial technique, he still discovered that he thought of things too simply.
Chapter 865. Second Supreme True Intent! |
The martial techniques in the first few levels, Ye Yuan accomplished with high proficiency. He only spent less than two days to settle it.
But when he reached the sixth level, Ye Yuan’s speed dropped all of a sudden.
Void Fire Mark this martial technique was the breakthrough point of the supreme true intent; very hard to train.
Ye Yuan spent half a month’s time before barely managing to train it to minor accomplishment. It was still a step away from comprehending the supreme true intent.
But cultivating the Void Fire Mark corroborated with Ye Yuan’s own comprehensions previously. It still let him have a deeper understanding of the Scorching Supreme True Intent.
“There’s still one last chaos gem. Looks like wihout using this chaos gem, I’ll probably not be able to comprehend the Scorching Supreme True Intent within a short time!” Ye Yuan said with an emotional sigh.
The chaos gems extorted from Long Teng, Ye Yuan was finally going to use them up as well.
Ye Yuan was very decisive and did not have much hesitation before directly firing the chaos gem into the Vast Heaven Stele!
Strike while the iron was hot. Ye Yuan felt that he was only a step away from the supreme true intent already. Fine steel needed to be used on the edge of a knife. This chaos gem, nothing to feel unwillingness to use about.
Moreover, Ye Yuan knew that in the Chaotic Devil Sea, only by having powerful strength could he ensure his own safety.
Different from other places, the Chaotic Devil Sea this sort of place, martial artists that comprehended supreme true intents could be found everywhere. When Ye Yuan faced them, he would not have too much advantage.
Therefore, comprehension of the second supreme true intent, it was imperative to him.
Next was the dreary martial technique training.
Each day, Ye Yuan would train according to the Void Fire Mark’s series of moves. This process was extremely dreary, but Ye Yuan found joy in it and never got tired.
But the effects of focusing on cultivation was also apparent. After one month, Ye Yuan’s Void Fire Mark was finally cultivated to major accomplishment!
But this was still lacking some level of attainment from comprehending the supreme true intent.
Ye Yuan was certain that as long as he cultivated to the great circle of perfection, he could definitely comprehend the supreme true intent!
The following three months, he still cultivated without knowing fatigue. Ye Yuan practically did not have any rest time, his state as if he went mad.
Finally, one day after three months, a transparent imprint was fired by Ye Yuan into the void!
A look of pleasant surprise surfaced on Ye Yuan’s face as he said, “Finally done! Scorching Supreme True Intent, indeed unbelievably powerful! This has merely just broken through first-stage, and it’s likely going to be even stronger than my third-stage Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword!”
This Void Fire Mark being cultivated will show a brilliant yellow color mark when it just started. When cultivated to major accomplishment, it was a light-yellow color mark.
And the transparent imprint launched was precisely the hallmark of the Void Fire Mark being cultivated to the great circle of perfection!
Ye Yuan also relied on this move to finally comprehend the Scorching Supreme True Intent!
Starting from stepping onto the Nine Heavens Road until now, roughly ten year’s time had passed. Ye Yuan finally comprehended a second supreme true intent. The agitation in his heart could be imagined.
This Scorching Supreme True Intent’s comprehension was far from as quick as the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword. Ye Yuan also sunk enormous effort into this path.
Just inside this Vast Heaven Stele’s space, Ye Yuan was frozen to death God knows how many times.
Even though it was not a true death, that kind of feeling felt like he had experienced it. People lacking willpower, just the agony was sufficient to drive them crazy, let alone talk about comprehending.
Now, the painstaking efforts Ye Yuan put in finally had a return!
This second supreme true intent was a milestone success to Ye Yuan!
Because there were many martial artists able to comprehend a supreme true intent, but comprehending two supreme true intents, that was in the minority.
No other reason, there was a limit to a person’s strength.
A person’s energy was limited. Comprehending a supreme true intent already expended tremendous energy. How could there still be people with the energy to go comprehend a second one?
To be able to comprehend a second supreme true intent and achieve the Divine King Realm, not one was not a major power of the Divine Realm with strength far exceeding those in the same rank.
If the Azure Dipper Floating Zero Sword’s comprehension still had some elements of being opportunistic, then this Scorching Supreme True Intent was comprehended by Ye Yuan little by little indisputably!
This process, he only spent ten year’s time!
If the Spirit Bristle Divine King knew that Ye Yuan only used ten years to comprehend the Scorching Supreme True Intent, he would definitely be shocked until his jaw hit the ground.
“There’s still two months more. I wonder what kind of power will combining the Scorching Supreme True Intent with the spirit rank dragon wave together produce?” Ye Yuan said rather excitedly.
Although first-stage Scorching True Intent’s power was strong, it clearly had not met Ye Yuan’s requirements yet.
Back then, Ye Yuan carried out a fusion between the Scorching True Intent and dragon wave and created the Flame Movement Carnage.
But the power of Flame Movement Carnage was already inadequate right now. When Ye Yuan faced the enemies currently, the majority of the circumstances was to directly use the spirit rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.
Now that he comprehended the supreme true intent, fusing the spirit rank Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm and the Scorching Supreme True Intent, the power would definitely be rather impressive!
These remaining two months time, Ye Yuan planned on doing this thing.
Without a doubt, the difficulty level of fusing the Scorching Supreme True Intent and the scorching supreme true intent Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm was goodness knows how many times higher compared to Flame Movement Carnage.
The fusion before could only be treated as a reference as well.
But with the experience of Flame Movement Carnage, Ye Yuan had a direction to work towards, which was resonance!
Back then when he merged the Scorching True Intent and Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm, Ye Yuan only used the Flame Movement Carnage after blasting out countless fists and finding the resonant point of the true intent and fleshy body as well.
What he wanted to do presently was to find the resonant point of the supreme true intent and spirit rank dragon wave!
Ye Yuan slowly shut his eyes and started to feel, seeking out the breakthrough point of these two kinds of completely different attributes.
Merging supreme true intent and fleshy body martial techniques, probably only Ye Yuan this sort of freak could be capable of it too.
Ordinary Heaven Enlightenment Realm martial artists, forget about supreme true intent, their fleshy bodies were probably not even one-in-a-thousandth as powerful as Ye Yuan’s.
But this process did not make smooth progress. After two months, Ye Yuan still did not find the resonant point, but the effects of the chaos gem were already over.
In this period of time, Ye Yuan’s cultivation realm also quietly broke through to Second Level Heaven Enlightenment.
Ye Yuan had no choice but to put away his emotions and return to reality.
“Master Ye, we’ve reached Cloud Transient City!” outside the carriage, Yan Jun’s very polite voice called out to Ye Yuan.
“Got it!” Ye Yuan responded coolly, his voice somewhat hoarse.
But the moment he got off the carriage, it made Yan Jun jump in fright, “Master Ye, what happened to you?”
The current Ye Yuan had deep sunken eyes and a sallow face, clearly very haggard. It was as if he suffered a serious illness.
Although just 20 days passed in total in reality, to Ye Yuan, more than half a year had already passed.
This half a year, he was virtually cultivating frenziedly and did not really rest.
Relaxing all at once currently, Ye Yuan’s entire person had indescribable weariness.
“No worries. I’m cultivating a divine soul cultivation method. My soul force was excessively exhausted. Rest for a while, and I’ll be fine.” Ye Yuan waved his hands and casually made up a story.
This Cloud Transient City was the group of people’s destination. It was a most out-of-the-way city in the Chaotic Devil Sea.
Chapter 866. Missing Ling-er |
In the Chaotic Devil Sea, even if people were in a city, drawing swords at a word of disagreement was rather commonly seen as well.
As long as it was not a massacre, no one would care about you.
Therefore, people without strength would all have to tuck their tails between their legs and behave.
There were no rules to talk about here. Strength was the highest for everything!
In order to survive, martial artists naturally formed factions and gangs. It was very hard to survive here all alone.
Cloud Transient City was just a small city. The population was not many.
This place was obviously not Ye Yuan’s end point. His true objective was the core of the Chaotic Devil Sea: the Slaughter Steppes!
And Cloud Transient city had a transmission array that led to the Slaughter Steppes!
Apart from the transmission array, one still required another item to enter the Slaughter Steppes. This was also one of the objectives of Ye Yuan coming here.
This sleep, Ye Yuan slept until the skies turned dark and he blacked out, all the way past the third day before he woke up.
The moment he went out, Ye Yuan discovered that the atmosphere was not quite right.
“Owner Yan, you guys … What’s going on?”
Yan Jun’s expression was dark like water. He sat there alone and kept silent. In his eyes actually faintly contained tears. This made Ye Yuan greatly astonished.
Although Yan Jun’s martial strength was not very great, he was absolutely a tough guy in Ye Yuan’s impression. What matter could actually make him sit alone here quietly with tears in his eyes?
Yan Jun did not hear Ye Yuan’s words at all, still staring blankly there.
“Owner Yan?” Ye Yuan went over and lightly touched Yan Jun a bit.
Yan Jun abruptly startled awake and said, “M-Master Ye! Y-You woke up?”
Yan Jun had an appearance like he had lost his soul, making Ye Yuan produce a bad premonition.
“Owner Yan, what’s with you? Where’s the rest? Where’s madam and Ling-er?” Ye Yuan asked.
The moment Yan Jun heard, tears flowed down uncontrollably as he choked sobbingly, “Ling-er she … she …”
Ye Yuan’s expression changed, and he said, “What happened to Ling-er?”
“This morning, we went to handover the goods. Shuang-er and Ling-er stayed behind in the inn. Shuang-er just left for a short while, but I didn’t expect … didn’t expect …”
Saying until here, Yan Jun choked and really could not continue anymore.
Ye Yuan’s expression fell slightly, and he said, “Ling-er went missing?”
Yan Jun nodded his head with difficulty, with great sorrow.
Several years ago, he lost his daughter in this Cloud Transient City too. The result was that he gave out all of his assets before barely managing to preserve his daughter’s life.
Since then, Yan Jun earned money to support his family desperately as well, in order to treat the recurring chronic illness on his daughter.
He did not think that after a time interval of several years, the exact same scene actually played out once more.
Toward Yan Ling this little girl, Ye Yuan quite adored her too. He did not think that she would actually have so many setbacks in her life. This made his feelings of compassion stir.
Being silent for a moment, Ye Yuan asked, “Owner Yan, don’t panic first. Tell me about the situation at that time.”
But Yan Jun shook his hand and said, “No special situation either. Shuang-er just left for a brief moment, then when she returned to the house, Ling-er was gone. Virtually … Virtually identical with the last time! I already requested for Elder Brother Liu they all to go out and search, but half a day has already passed. There’s no news at all.”
Ye Yuan’s eyes lit up, and he asked, “Exactly the same as last time? Do you know who ambushed Ling-er the last time or not?”
Yan Jun shook his head again and said, “We didn’t see that person’s true face at all. He just makes us deliver the earth essence crystals to the designated point. We heard a baby’s crying sound and went to find Ling-er. Turning around to take a look, the earth essence crystals were long gone without a trace already.”
Hearing Yan Jun’s description, Ye Yuan was lost in thought.
The previous time, the other party was clearly already planning on killing the hostage. It was just that the other party did not expect Ling-er’s life was actually so tenacious, forcefully holding on for several years, resulting in being thoroughly treated by Ye Yuan in the end.
If it was just kidnapping and blackmailing, the other party’s methods would probably be cut from the same cloth as last time.
Right while they were talking, Liu Yusheng walked in hastily.
“Owner Yan, my brothers have already inquired around and don’t have Ling-er’s news. But …” Liu Yusheng hesitated.
Yan Jun froze and suddenly said, “But what? Could it be …”
Liu Yusheng nodded his head and handed over a slip of paper. Yan Jun’s expression could not help changing drastically when he received it and looked.
Ye Yuan saw it clearly from behind. The slip of paper wrote: ‘Tonight at midnight, warehouse north of the city. One billion earth essence crystals. Only Yan Jun is permitted to come alone. Hand over the money in one hand, the person in the other!’
Indeed, the same pattern from the method last time.
It was as if someone had purposely eyed Yan Jun, to actually use the same method on him twice!
Without a doubt, this was done by the same person.
Ye Yuan could also tell from that skill to damage the meridians that the other party was absolutely a martial artist with very formidable strength.
Ye Yuan quietly withdrew out of the crowd and came onto the streets.
After an hour, Ye Yuan played with a short incense in his hand as he said smilingly, “I didn’t think that I’d have to use you again.”
What Ye Yuan was holding in his hand was precisely the Soul Guiding Incense used to find Lu-er back then. But the Soul Guiding Incense he refined this time was a much higher quality compared to that time. Its perception toward soul force was also much sharper.
He slowly came to Ling-er’s room, pushed open the door, and discovered that Lin Shuang was currently inside holding an item of Ling-er’s in a trace.
Ye Yuan heaved a sigh and said to Lin Shuang, “Don’t need to be sad anymore, Madam. I have a way to find Ling-er.”
Lin Shuang was originally ashen-faced; virtually without any signs of life in her eyes. Hearing Ye Yuan’s words, she jumped up at once and grabbed Ye Yuan’s arm, looking as if she was crazy as she said, “Master Ye, you … is what you said true?”
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said, “Actually, I’ve had some surmises already. It’s just that I still need to confirm it a little. Madam, do you have any clothing items that Ling-er frequently wears? Lend it to me to use.”
Lin Shuang’s eyes finally shone with life as she hurriedly nodded and said, “Just a minute, Master Ye. I’ll go get it for you right away!”
Before long, Lin Shuang brought over a small and exquisite piece of clothing. Ye Yuan directly ignited it together with the Soul Guiding Incense
At the same time, Ye Yuan’s heart stirred slightly, and Fiery appeared in front of him.
“Fiery, you follow the Soul Guiding Incense and see where they are hiding Ling-er.”
“Yes, Big Brother!”
Fiery received the order and turned into a wisp of fire, following a strand of fragrance out of the room.
Seeing this scene, Lin Shuang was dumbfoundedly shocked.
After Fiery left, Ye Yuan said to Lin Shuang, “Actually, I believe you and Owner Yan have some conjectures in your hearts too, right? Except, that person, you feel that you can’t afford to provoke, so you weren’t willing to think too much. Rescuing Ling-er this time, you and Owner Yan shouldn’t get involved in this messy situation anymore. Come up with other means of livelihood outside the Chaotic Devil Sea.”
Ye Yuan was deeply aware of the Chaotic Devil Sea’s bloodiness and cruelty. Without absolute martial strength, there was completely no way of ensuring one’s family’s safety.
This kind of travel trading method of earning a living seemed like exorbitant profits, but actually, it was merely just money-making machines being scattered and raised.
The power over life and death was still controlled in other people’s hands.
Forget about Yan Jun, even Liu Yusheng this kind of veteran was not possibly the other party’s match.
Chapter 867. Challenge |
In a hidden venue in the city, three men were currently watching over a little girl.
One of them was wearing light armor; he was tall and well-built. Clearly, he was the leader of these three people.
“Milord, this lass isn’t well-behaved. Let us take good care of her!”
