Unrivaled Medicine God, page 724
“Do you know why I kept you behind alone?” Ye Yuan suddenly opened his mouth and said.
Long Zhan clasped his hands and said with a flustered look, “Master … should have some matters to instruct!”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Heh, I didn’t expect that the dignified lord of the dragon race actually ended up in such a plight today. A pity … lamentable!”
Long Zhan’s entire body trembled, his eyes glued onto Ye Yuan, monstrous waves stirring up in his heart.
“Why … Why does Master say this?”
The shock in Long Zhan’s heart could not be any greater. In the Heavenspan World, apart from those who came out of the Immortal Grove Region together, nobody knew about it at all.
But this new master of his blurted it out straight away.
Ye Yuan held his palm out. A small and exquisite fire rod appeared in his hand.
Long Zhan was no longer able to remain calm. His entire body trembled, staring fixedly at the Sacred Dragon Token. He opened his mouth, but could not say anything.
“You shouldn’t be unfamiliar with this thing, right?” Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Thud!
Long Zhan directly knelt down and gave three deep kowtows towards the Sacred Dragon Token.
When he raised his head again, tears already covered his face.
Over 100 thousand years, what was once the sea had now changed into mulberry fields.
But the former leader of the dragon race ended up a slave to others, his life and death at other people’s whim.
Agitating surging in his heart for a period of time, how could Long Zhan still control himself?
“M-Master, could it be … could it be that you’ve been to Long Zhan’s hometown?” Long Zhan asked carefully.
He could not see through Ye Yuan’s actual situation and even thought that Ye Yuan sneaked into the Immortal Grove World and obtained the Sacred Dragon Token by chance.
“Heh!”
Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh. The Sacred Dragon Token emitted a dazzling light. A gust of whirlwind rose from the ground up, but it was limited to within a range of 30 feet.
Long Zhan’s gaze turned intent and he said in terror, “The … The Sacred Dragon Token … acknowledged Master! This … How is this possible?”
Members of the fiend race might be able to sneak into the Immortal Grove World and might be able to obtain the Sacred Dragon Token. But it was absolutely impossible to get the Sacred Dragon Token to acknowledge him as its master!
The Sacred Dragon Token was personally forged by the sacred ancestor with bloodline power. Even members of the dragon race could not possibly obtain the Sacred Dragon Token’s recognition either.
Those able to get the Sacred Dragon Token to acknowledge them as its master were only the lords of the dragon race!
But now, the Sacred Dragon Token actually acknowledged a fiend as its master, how could he not be shocked?
Suddenly, the aura on Ye Yuan’s body changed. The rolling fiendish energy retreated like the tide, turning back into the original Ye Yuan.
Long Zhan was simply about to break down. His master was actually a human?
He disguised as a fiend and all of the fiends actually could not tell!
Suddenly, Long Zhan’s gaze turned intent and he said in shock, “Could Master … have come out of the Immortal Grove World?”
Ye Yuan grinned and said, “You’re not considered too stupid! That’s right, I’m the same as you, coming from the Immortal Grove World.”
Long Zhan’s expression changed and he said in disbelief, “Impossible! The Immortal Grove World’s Heavenly Dao is already lost. It’s impossible for someone to pass through the spatial turbulent flow anymore!”
Ye Yuan’s expression suddenly turned cold and he said in a deep voice, “I’m just telling you a fact, not gaining your trust. Don’t forget your current identity!”
Long Zhan’s entire body trembled, his aura immediately cowering, suddenly becoming incomparably humble as he said, “Forgive my mistake, Master!”
Ye Yuan’s tone eased up slightly. Looking at Long Zhan, he said with a cold smile, “Do you feel that you and I share the same roots, and furthermore, I obtained the Sacred Dragon Token’s inheritance and should be endlessly grateful to you, and let you go free?”
Long Zhan’s heart thumped, his heart sinking to rock-bottom.
What Ye Yuan said was completely right. After he was shocked, he was secretly rejoicing.
Since Ye Yuan obtained the Sacred Dragon Token’s inheritance, furthermore, originated from the Immortal Grove World, it was impossible to not help him!
Just now, he was actually wildly elated in his heart.
But now, the situation did not seem quite right.
“This … This lowly one dare not!” Long Zhan said aggrievedly.
Ye Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes shot out a ray of cold light as he said coldly, “If not looking on the account of the Sacred Dragon Token, the moment I saw you, I’d think of ways to kill you!”
A piercing cold killing intent pounced from head-on, virtually asphyxiating Long Zhan.
Ye Yuan currently grasped the slave seal. He only needed a thought and could make his soul disperse!
“Don’t tell me that you all, these Deity Realm powerhouses, don’t know the Immortal Grove World’s fiend calamity! You all abandoned Immortal Grove World’s billions of lives for your own selfishness. So on what basis … should I save you?” Ye Yuan continued coldly.
Toward them, these Deity Realm powerhouses who left Immortal Grove, Ye Yuan was filled with resentment in his heart.
If not for his sudden emergence, breaking through to Deity Realm at the final juncture, the entire Immortal Grove World would have already become purgatory on earth right now!
Long Zhan was silent like cicadas in winter and did not dare to refute at all.
The long life of a slave made him become extremely cautious and timid.
He knew that right now, if he spoke one more word, it could draw down a fatal disaster.
“Recount the events back then in detail. If there’s any bit of concealment, you know the consequences!” Ye Yuan said coldly.
Long Zhan did not dare to hide, saying the events back then as exactly as they were.
Back then, they were eager to leave the Immortal Grove World. On one hand, it was because Heavenly Dao was damaged. On the other hand, it was also because they dreaded the fiend race.
Because at that time, the Immortal Grove World was already unable to give birth to Origin Deity Realm powerhouses anymore. They were completely powerless to face the catastrophe of the fiend race.
These two things were like two large mountains, weighing on all of the Deity Realm powerhouses’ hearts.
Finally, after an equilibrium that extended as long as ten thousand years, all of the Deity Realm powerhouses finally reached an agreement, escaping out of the Immortal Grove Region!
And the dragon race’s old patriarch was one of the key members that facilitated this matter.
The initiators of this incident were that group of Heaven Glimpse Deity Realm powerhouses.
They convened all of the Deity Realm powerhouses that could be gathered in the Divine Realm and plotted this escape operation.
If anyone dared to stay behind in the Immortal Grove Region, they would become a common target for scorn.
Their goal was naturally not for everyone’s consideration, but that an additional person would be an additional assurance in passing through the spatial turbulent flow.
That was a journey with nine chances to die and one chance to live. One more Deity Realm powerhouse was one more hope to live.
It could be imagined just what kind of ulterior motives each had in the operation at that time.
And the meeting point was at the Chaotic Devil Sea!
That place was also the human and fiend, two races’ ancient battlefield.
Quite a number of Deity Realm powerhouses also left behind their legacies there.
Later, these hundred over people passed through the spatial turbulent flow, collectively escaping the Immortal Grove World.
Chapter 1478. Sword Dao Second-Layered Heaven Grand Completion! |
“Who survived and came to the Heavenspan World? How did you end up in the fiend race territory and become a slave?” Ye Yuan asked coldly.
Hearing Long Zhan’s words, Ye Yuan’s heart was long burning with fury already.
These bunch of guys would rather die than be willing to protect the Immortal Grove World. Truly selfish to the extreme.
Sensing the killing intent creeping out of Ye Yuan’s body, Long Zhan was incredibly perturbed inwardly.
“At that time, we had a total of seven people who survived. After entering the Heavenspan World, we all sustained heavy injuries. We couldn’t determine our location and no idea how long we walked either. Who knew that we actually ran into a group of slave traffickers! Our injuries at that time were very severe, we had no strength to fight back at all. In the end, after passing through several hands and places, we were sold to the fiend race. In-between this, we had another four companions die. Now, the ones who are still alive are only three people,” Long Zhan said.
Ye Yuan said with a cold smile, “You all, as the Immortal Grove World’s strongest people, don’t take on any responsibility when something crops up, and would rather die than be willing to resist the fiend race! Immortal Grove World’s billions of lives were almost annexed to become fiend race slaves. This … is perhaps your retribution!”
Over a hundred Deity Realm powerhouses almost wiped out, this was perhaps everything foreordained by heaven.
Long Zhan said trembling with fear, “Y-Yes.”
Ye Yuan swept a glance over him and said coolly, “Apart from you, where are the rest?”
Long Zhan said, “There’s still one person at Capone Capital City. The other person went to Eminent Orchid Imperial City. As for their life and death, I don’t know.”
Ye Yuan nodded his head and said coolly, “About removing the slave seal, you can stop thinking about it. In the future, it will depend on your performance.”
Long Zhan had a disappointed look, but he still said helplessly, “Yes, Master!”
Ye Yuan not lifting Long Zhan’s slave seal had his own considerations.
Putting aside him leaving the Immortal Grove World, Long Zhan was enslaved for 100 thousand years, the deeply rooted nature of a slave already penetrated deep into the bone marrow.
The current Long Zhan was no longer the leader of a clan back then.
For him to be able to live until now, he was bound to worldly-wise and slippery to the extreme already.
He was a complete and utter lackey!
Such a person, once the slave seal was lifted, he would not even know when he sold him.
“Oh, right, you’ve been in Capone Capital City for so long, let me ask you something. A million years ago, who was Capone Capital City’s city lord? Is he still in Capone Capital City now?” Ye Yuan suddenly asked.
Long Zhan was stunned and shook his head and said, “The city lord a million years ago is probably already dead, right?”
The fiend race had long lives and it was extremely hard to die.
Fiend lord class powerhouses, their lifespans were even as long as several million years and would not easily die.
But the fiend race territory was not as peaceful as the human race. Even between the two capital cities, they would carry out campaigns on each other too.
City lords dying in battle was also a common thing.
Just take Capone Capital City for example. If somebody broke through to Fiend Lord Realm, they might very likely go and challenge the city lord.
As long as he could kill the city lord, he would be able to replace him.
Therefore, the replacing of fiend race territory leaders was very fast.
Some capital cities’ city lords would even change several times in a century!
The city lord a million years ago, it was virtually very hard to verify already.
But it was also precisely because of so that fiend race powerhouses were abundant like clouds, their combat strength far surpassing same-rank humans.
Tiderain City’s martial artists could only resist the fiend army by being all veterans of a hundred battles.
Ordinary humans, three or four people might not be able to deal with one same-rank fiend.
All these, Ye Yuan was naturally aware long ago. Asking about it was just holding onto thoughts of getting lucky.
“Then do you know where in Capone Capital City is information the most accessible?” Ye Yuan asked again.
Long Zhan blurted out, “Want to say accessible information, it’s naturally the Blood Yama Hall! It’s just that wanting to inquire about intel from their place, it’s probably not that easy.”
Ye Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly and he said with a nod, “I got it, withdraw.”
…
In the Death Cultivation Space, Ye Yuan’s sweat ran down like raindrops.
The other Ye Yuan opposite him attacked like lightning, one sword faster than the other, already pressuring Ye Yuan to the limits.
“You weakling, I don’t believe that I can’t kill you! Go to hell!”
The clone gnashed his teeth in hatred, his eyes revealing a murderous light. A Chasing Moon stabbed towards Ye Yuan’s chest as quick as lightning.
Ever since the first time entering the Death Cultivation Space, after narrowly escaping death, Ye Yuan already entered the Death Cultivation Space several dozen times.
Each time, he was dancing on the edge of a knife, accompanied by the death god.
But each time, he could finish off the clone by a hair’s breadth.
It was precisely because of so that Ye Yuan’s improvement would be so quick.
For him to fight bravely alone amidst the fiend army, slaying a thousand people, and still leave calmly, it was inseparable from this death training.
If it were before, Ye Yuan could kill Lang Ge, but he absolutely could not do it so effortlessly.
Lang Ge’s strength was actually not considered much in the fiend race. It was also not much better than Qin Zheng those guys.
How could jumping realms to battle be that easy?
Entering the Death Cultivation Space each time, Ye Yuan really squeezed out every bit of potential.
Not being able to defeat the clone, he could only die!
Hence, every time he entered, he had to make progress!
Even if it was just a tiny bit.
Sailing against the current, either advance or regress
Except, this retreat was eternal damnation!
Gradually, Ye Yuan fell in love with this feeling of being accompanied by death.
He discovered that this Heavenly Empyrean Immortal Grove was simply a genius, to actually be able to come up with such a miraculous cultivation method.
Because each time he entered, he would have great harvests.
That feeling of breaking through under extreme conditions was simply too wonderful.
It was impossible for Ye Yuan to be as intrepid as when he entered the Selfless Realm at that time. Each time he won, it was a hair above the replicate.
Of course, this kind of dangerous cultivation, Ye Yuan would not rashly go in. That was no different from seeking death.
Each time he had gained from battle or cultivation, he would enter here and challenge himself!
Under extreme conditions, Ye Yuan was able to transform these gains into real strength!
Improving a little bit each time, accumulating day by day and month by month, it was a rather considerable improvement.
During that battle with the fiend race, Ye Yuan slew a thousand people. It was rather hard to come by tempering.
To Ye Yuan, how could he possibly miss such a good opportunity for improvement?
Joining the Fan Family now, he was considered to have settled down. Only then did he have time to hone himself.
Life and death juncture, Ye Yuan had some comprehension, his figure rushing out like lightning!
The same Chasing Moon!
But Ye Yuan’s move was faster, sharper!
Reaching first despite launching later!
Pfft!
Ye Yuan’s sword passed through the chest!
No fresh blood flowed out, but the clone looked at Ye Yuan with a hateful look and said gloomily, “Why?! Why can you beat me each time?! I … There will come a day where I’m going to kill you!”
The Death Cultivation Space’s replicate actually carried the memories last time.
The clone forced Ye Yuan to the limit time and again, but he was defeated under Ye Yuan’s hands every single time. The negative emotions already accumulated to a very terrifying degree.
Ye Yuan wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a faint smile, “Okay, I’ll be waiting for you!”
The replicate carried intense unwillingness and dissipated away.
But Ye Yuan was rather joyful as he said, “Sword Dao Laws second-layered heaven, finally cultivated to grand completion!”
Chapter 1479. My Fault? |
Ye Yuan cultivated the sword, reducing complexity to simplicity, which already did not go by convention.
‘Sundering Stars’ this move, the quintessence was in the word ‘chop’.
While ‘Chasing Moon’ this move, the quintessence was in the word ‘stab’!
One straight stab, and it could evolve into millions of moves. However, their core was still the ‘stab’ character.
Ingenuity in varying tactics depends on mother wit.
Rigidly adhering to every move and motion would only limit one’s own development.
Sword Dao Laws second-layered heaven cultivating to grand completion, Ye Yuan’s strength went up another level.
Killing that Lang Ge again, Ye Yuan was confident that one move would suffice!
At this time, Long Zhan’s voice came from the outside, “Master, Miss Li Ji requests the pleasure of seeing you.”
“Got it,” Ye Yuan answered indifferently.
When he saw Li Ji, there were even two Heaven Glimpse Realm martial artists behind her.
