Unrivaled Medicine God, page 792
ling zikun’s party precisely came to heavenly eagle imperial city to ask for help.
the two imperial cities were adjacent neighbors. if river eternal imperial city wanted to seek help, they naturally had to look for the heavenly eagle imperial city.
“elder zheng qi, this matter still needs your martial tower to take action. what do you think?” ruo xu asked zheng qi.
zheng qi mused for a moment and said, “this matter concerns the fiend race, we naturally have to help. it’s just that, if there is only one precious treasure, what should be done about the final ownership?”
ruo xu said, “this matter, i’ve already asked ling zikun. he said that precious treasures are obtained by the fated. as long as it doesn’t land in the hands of the fiend race, that will do. but hearing ling zikun’s meaning, this precious treasure is likely extraordinary. it might attract fiend race celestial deity realm powerhouses!”
the moment these words came out, everyone’s face suddenly changed.
once celestial deity realm powerhouses stepped in, this matter would become very tricky.
zheng qi thought about it and said, “this matter, best for this old man to personally take action! with the others going, they probably can’t control the scene. disregarding fiend race powerhouses, just that land where precious treasure would be born will likely be quite dangerous too.”
“no way! head elder zheng, you’re the martial tower’s leader! how can you take the risk personally?”
“yeah, head elder zheng, you’re the strongest person in the martial tower. if you were to meet with any mishap, what would we do?”
the moment zheng qi said that he wanted to go, many elders directly expressed objection.
but zheng qi waved his hand and said, “it’s precisely because this old man is the strongest that i have to personally go there. supporting river eternal imperial city is one thing, seeing if there’s a chance to seize the precious treasure is another. more importantly, i have to bring the people who go back! this matter, there’s no need to say anything, this old man’s mind is made up!”
at this time, the pill tower and martial tower’s elders were all present.
the martial tower was going on an expedition, so the pill tower naturally had to refine a batch of medicinal pills too.
ye yuan looked at zheng qi, his gaze revealing admiration.
anyone knew that this trip was dangerous. even celestial deity realm powerhouses might be alarmed. seizing treasure this sort of thing, it was probably not that easy.
even if zheng qi went personally, it was also not certain that he could return safe and sound.
clearly, zheng qi knew that this trip was perilous, that was why he would so personally, only to hope to bring some more people back.
this undertaking filled ye yuan with deep veneration.
at this time, he could casually appoint an elder to go, and presumably, no one would dare to say a word.
ruo xu also did not expect that zheng qi was actually so decisive. he opened his mouth and said, “old brother, have you really decided on this?”
zheng qi nodded and said, “brother ruo xu, those few are in closed-seclusion all year round. when this old man isn’t around, heavenly eagle imperial city will be entrusted to you.”
ruo xu sighed and said, “alright! this matter, this old man can’t help much either. these few days, this old man will urge the pill tower’s elders to refine more batches of medicinal pills.”
zheng qi cupped his fists and said, “then i’ll have to trouble brother ruo xu!”
afterward, zheng qi picked out another ten or so martial tower elders, deacons, and protectors.
these people had to follow him.
even head elder was personally going, they naturally had no reason to refuse.
moreover, this kind of thing, if it happened to anyone, they would have the mentality of leaving things to luck.
what if the precious treasure was obtained by them?
“alright, this matter is decided, all disperse then,” ruo xu said.
at this time, the ye yuan who had been silent all along suddenly spoke up, “head elder zheng, i’m going too.”
ruo xu’s brows furrowed and he berated, “elder ye, what are you messing around for?”
the moment zheng qi heard, he also shook his head and said, “elder ye, this trip is too dangerous, even this old man doesn’t have the confidence to get out unscathed. you’d best not go. you’re our heavenly eagle imperial city’s future hope, nothing must happen to you!”
ye yuan smiled and said, “everyone, calm down. listen to me until the end.”
as he said, he looked at ruo xu and asked, “head elder ruo xu, did ling zikun tell you what the precious treasure coming into being this time is?”
ruo xu was stunned and shook his head and said, “the precious treasure hasn’t been born yet, how would he know?”
ye yuan smiled and said, “if my guesses are right, the venue where the precious treasure is being born this time should be the fiend calling ridge’s natural chasm, right?”
ruo xu was surprised as he said, “how did you know?”
the specifics of the location was not disclosed previously, but ye yuan actually knew the location of the birth of the precious treasure, how could this not surprise him?
ye yuan smiled and said, “i’ve been to the fiend calling ridge before, and also went down the natural chasm before, so i’m still rather familiar with that place. i know that you all are worried that my realm is lacking. but going this time, even if a person’s realm being high, it will likely be useless.”
when the group of elders heard ye yuan’s words, they were incredibly shocked.
they also did not expect that ye yuan actually went to river eternal imperial city before, and even went down fiend calling ridge’s natural chasm before.
zheng qi’s brows knitted together and he said to ye yuan, “elder ye, you continue speaking!”
he realized that ling zikun probably held something back, afraid that they would not go, so he did not say.
ye yuan nodded his head and continued saying.
actually, when ye yuan returned from the fiend race back then, he went down the natural chasm once more.
he could sense that natural chasm’s extraordinariness and harbored a curious mindset, that was why he went down to investigate.
of course, others could also feel it. it was just that they did not have the ability to go down.
even divine lord realm powerhouses got to be careful going down too. a single misstep and it was the outcome of being smashed to pieces.
one had to know, the further down that natural chasm, the stronger the forcefield.
when ye yuan just broke through to origin deity realm back then, he could just happen to go down and temper the origin magnetism spirit wood and explore it along the way.
at that time, ye yuan sunk down close to ten thousand meters and still did not reach the bottom.
but at that time, a strong uneasiness came from below, making ye yuan not dare to go deeper anymore.
but ye yuan also felt that there seemed to faintly be a powerful aura transmitting out from below. it was as if there was some treasure currently gestating.
this kind of magical place giving birth to whatever treasure was also a very normal thing.
hearing ruo xu’s introduction earlier, ye yuan immediately connected it to this natural chasm.
“if my conjectures are right, the precious treasure coming into being this time might be an innate divine lord mystic treasure, or might even be an innate celestial deity mystic treasure!”
ye yuan words hell-bent on shocking people to death, igniting the elders meeting all at once.
“what? innate divine lord mystic treasure!”
“my god! don’t talk about innate celestial deity mystic treasure, even innate celestial deity mystic treasure, celestial deity powerhouses can’t hold back either!”
“this ling zikun wouldn’t be scamming us, right?”
all the elders revealed fervent looks, clearly extremely moved by this innate divine lord mystic treasure.
Chapter 1617. Old Scores |
ruo xu and zheng qi both had astonished expressions. innate divine lord mystic treasure, this term, deeply shocked them.
ye yuan only heard dustless mention this thing when he dove down the natural chasm too.
dustless told ye yuan at that time, the origin magnetic field at this place was so strong. an innate divine lord mystic treasure might be born deep at the bottom.
innate divine lord mystic treasure and divine lord mystic treasures refined postnatal, that level was completely different.
although divine lord mystic treasures were rare, reaching ruo xu’s and zheng qi’s level, having one was not a problem.
but innate divine lord mystic treasure was so rare that hearing it made one’s hair stand on end.
the reason why it was called innate divine lord mystic treasure was naturally because it was gestated naturally.
it was just that the conditions for forming were extremely harsh. only in some very special places, could it inoculate successfully.
innate divine lord mystic treasures, its power overwhelmed same rank postnatal divine lord mystic treasures.
not just so, the most precious aspect of innate divine lord mystic treasures was that it was conceived naturally. within it contained heavenly dao laws.
once martial artists refined an innate divine lord mystic treasure, they could fuse with this portion of heavenly dao strength, letting themselves break through the shackles from there.
to a divine lord realm powerhouse, the chances of breaking through to celestial deity realm would also greatly increase.
how could this kind of treasure not move people?
if the thing being born this time was an innate celestial deity mystic treasure, that value was immeasurable.
celestial deity realm powerhouses would definitely go into action without delay.
“elder ye, this matter is of utmost importance, you can’t make any jokes!” zheng qi sucked in a cold breath and said to ye yuan.
ye yuan smiled and said, “how can this ye joke about this matter? but what’s there below that natural chasm, this ye can’t say for sure as well. but it’s definitely very dangerous. furthermore, the further down that natural chasm, the stronger the forcefield. one’s realm will also be suppressed drastically. the higher the realm, the higher the suppression. if head elder, you go, i reckon that at most, you can only unleash the strength of third-layered heaven divine lord.”
hearing this, everyone’s faces turned slightly fearful.
zheng qi’s expression could not help becoming serious. this news that ye yuan brought was very useful to him.
this news, knowing in-advance and preparing for it was god knows how many times better than last minute fumbling blinding when the time came.
realm suppression was not targeted at them only but targeting everyone.
once they were prepared, that was taking the initiative.
at that time, fighting for the innate divine lord mystic treasure was not impossible.
“elder ye, if it’s really as you say, we still have to give this matter further thought and confer at length. but … you still can’t go. the ones going this time are definitely all divine lord realm powerhouses. even if their realms are suppressed, they are also not what you can deal with. moreover, there are still celestial deity powerhouses raring to go.” zheng qi said.
ruo xu also said, “elder ye, old brother zheng qi is also worried about your safety. you’d best not go and join in the fun.”
ever since after ling zikun’s incident, ruo xu’s impression of ye yuan improved significantly.
thinking about it, for heavenly eagle imperial city to have such a genius, there only seemed to be advantages and no disadvantage.
furthermore, ye yuan repaid ingratitude with kindness, preserving song qiyang’s face, and also let him vent his grievance. this made him much more pleased in his heart.
in the past, he was under an obsession, seemingly taking unnecessary pains to split hairs, opposing ye yuan in every way. it seemed to be somewhat too much.
ruo xu knew that his hate had extended on account of another, because of xuan yu, and because he feared ye yuan.
but ye yuan said, “two head elders, recently, i encountered some bottleneck in cultivation and it’s hard to resolve. this time, i can just go out and take a walk. you all rest assured, this ye still has some means, protecting myself should be an issue. moreover, at the fiend calling ridge there, i think nobody is more familiar and more used to it than i am.”
when zheng qi saw ye yuan’s composed appearance, he could not help being secretly alarmed.
hearing the meaning in ye yuan’s words, he still had a considerable trump card on him!
zheng qi ruminated for a moment and finally said, “alright, since elder ye insists on going, then go along. but, once there’s something amiss, you must escape right away. you mustn’t seek to outshine others!”
…
coming to the fiend calling ridge once more, ye yuan was also dumbstruck with amazement by the scenery before his eyes.
countless brilliant rays of sunlight shone out from inside the 100 thousand foot abyss, spectacular to behold.
from very far away, ye yuan sensed the extremely strong origin magnetic field. slight weaker divine lord realm powerhouses could not even fly.
at this time, fiend calling ridge’s two shores already had large numbers of powerhouses gathered. they were practically all divine lord realm and above powerhouses.
disregarding the fiend race’s side, just the human race’s side, the divine lord realm powerhouses that came were no less than 100 people.
among them had the reinforcements which river eternal imperial city invited, and also reclusive powerhouses who were drawn over.
“how is it, ye yuan?” zheng qi asked ye yuan.
ye yuan observed for a while and said, “this forcefield is at least five times of the original. furthermore, it’s still growing stronger continuously! i didn’t expect that in a short 100 years’ time, such a massive change actually happened to this place.”
“then according to your surmises, what kind of treasure will be born this time?” zheng qi said.
ye yuan mused for a moment and said with a solemn expression, “it’s still hard to say right now, but likely … the grade won’t be too low.”
the two people were currently talking in a low voice when suddenly, a pair walked over this side.
“haha, zheng qi, long time no see, you’re actually not dead yet!” an ear-piercing voice drifted over from a distance.
zheng qi’s face turned black and he said coldly, “gao yuan, you’re not dead, how can this old man dare to die?!”
the one in the lead was a slightly chubby old man who looked very wretched. but his aura was very powerful. it was actually on par with head elder zheng qi.
gao yuan laughed loudly when he heard it and said, “how can a defeated opponent dare to talk brave words?! heh heh, didn’t expect that you dared to come personally this time. you mustn’t be like that damn master of yours, who died here without any explanation.”
zheng qi’s expression was incomparably ugly. ye yuan could clearly feel his fury, but he forcefully reined it in.
“gao yuan, don’t you get cocky! master’s grudge, i’ll seek it back personally one day!” zheng qi said in a cold voice.
upon meeting, swords were drawn and they were ready to jump at each other’s throats.
ye yuan was uncertain and asked an elder by the side, “what’s going on here?”
the elder said, “several tens of thousands of years ago, head elder’s master perished inside a mystic realm. but it was said that at that time, head elder’s master originally wouldn’t have fallen. he only died because he fell into a trap dug by this gao yuan. in the end, this gao yuan escaped safe and sound, while head elder’s master died inside the mystic realm. head elder later cultivated bitterly, and finally broke through to become a ninth-layered heaven divine lord. hence, he went to find this gao yuan to take revenge. who knew that because of the lucky chance that this gao yuan obtained inside the mystic realm that time, he actually touched the threshold of celestial deity realm, and stepped into half-step celestial deity realm. head elder returned in defeat and was nearly killed by gao yuan. if not for city lord personally taking action, head elder would probably have already perished.”
ye yuan did not think that there were actually still so many twists and turns involved.
back then when he brought coldfeather back, after coldfeather heard the news of wu xingtang’s demise, he was still dejected for a while.
clearly, he also valued this disciple of his greatly.
Chapter 1618. Unfortunate Wretch |
“Haha! Why wouldn’t I be cocky? The precious treasure being born this time might be the turning point for me to break through to the Celestial Deity Realm! The height that you and that damn master of yours couldn’t reach, I reached it. Won’t you say I should be pleased with myself?” Gao Yuan said smugly.
In fact, he was still one generation older than Zheng Qi.
According to his seniority and strength, he shouldn’t come to this place personally.
Now that he was here, he naturally came for the lucky chance this time.
He already had half a foot stepped into Celestial Deity Realm, but he kept failing to break through.
Such a lucky chance, he naturally would not let it go easily.
Zheng Qi was angered by him until his face was livid, but there was nothing he could do.
Even though he caught up from behind, catching up to Gao Yuan’s realm, who could have thought that he relied on the lucky chance he schemed and to harm his master? At the end, he actually had half a foot stepped into the Celestial Deity Realm.
Zheng Qi’s talent was also extremely outstanding. But regarding the Celestial Deity Realm, he had the heart, but his strength was lacking.
These few years, he practically used everything in his arsenal and was also unable to find the opportunity to break through to Celestial Deity Realm.
