Unrivaled Medicine God, page 963
“Yes, in a twinkle, it’s been more than 100 thousand years!”
Jian Hongxiao actually had tears running down his old face.
The old man’s gaze slowly shifted to Ye Yuan and sized him up carefully.
“You’re called Ye Yuan?”
Ye Yuan nodded and said with cupped fists, “I pay respects to Lord Empyrean.”
The old man’s gaze was profound as he said, “Even this old man actually can’t see through your depths, indeed well-deserving of being emperor surmounting aura. Looking at it, you likely won’t be an ordinary Heavenly Emperor powerhouse in the future!”
Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, “Senior is too kind.”
The old man was calm on the surface, but in his heart, he was taken by surprise.
Reaching his boundary, he was extremely sensitive to the flow of Heavenly Dao. His perception toward danger was God knows how many times stronger than Jian Yun that kind of rookie.
He wanted to employ the aura viewing art to observe Ye Yuan just now, but warning bells suddenly sounded in his heart and actually made him have a feeling of danger.
He naturally knew about the matter of Jian Yun being blinded, and thought to himself: could it be that I would also become like that?
But even if it was the emperor surmounting aura, with his skill, it also would not be to that extent, right?
Currently, Jian Sutao was extremely conflicted in his heart. He very much wanted to activate the aura viewing art and take a look at Ye Yuan’s situation. But the moment he thought of Jian Yun’s outcome, he did not dare to do so anymore.
As the lord of a city, an Empyrean powerhouse, he could not bear the consequences of becoming blind.
Curiosity kills the cat; this kind of situation was still effective when placed on an Empyrean powerhouse.
Thinking about it, Jian Sutao still gave up in the end.
Once something really happened and he suffered Heavenly Dao backlash, he, this rank seven powerhouse, did not have the Seven Veins Stellar Pill to save him.
At that time, he would be a blind man for life.
This kind of result was not what he could accept.
Jian Sutao looked towards Jian Hongxiao and opened his mouth and said, “Back then, before you left, this Empyrean performed a divination for you and calculated that your path wasn’t severed. But didn’t think that … it’s answered here.”
Ye Yuan was terrified when he heard it. This level of augury skill was simply terrifying.
100 thousand years ago, it was actually divined without the slightest error.
100 thousand years ago, he was not even born yet!
This kind of thing that was foreordained by the unseen; Jian Sutao himself also could not grasp it. But 100 thousand years since then, it truly appeared.
Jian Hongxiao was also very surprised and said, “Turns out that Your Excellency has long calculated for me before! I only calculated that my fate had a turn for the better recently too.”
“Hongxiao, the matter back then, was hard on you! Do you … still bear a grudge against this Empyrean?
Jian Hongxiao hurriedly knelt down and said, “What’s Your Excellency saying? Casting the forbidden art for Fengqi was Hongxiao acting arbitrarily, resulting in causing a terrible calamity, and even almost affected the All-encompassing Armillary Sphere. I am the Stellar Hall’s sinner!”
Jian Sutao heaved a sigh and said, “It’s this Empyrean who is useless! The more one is a member of the Jian Family, the more helpless they tend to be. Clearly know that the disaster is in sight, but can only watch it happen helplessly, I’m afraid … only reaching Ancestor’s realm, can one transform the rotten into something magical, right?”
Jian Hongxiao also sighed and said, “What I hate the most is having caused such severe consequences, but not being able to stop Fengqi from leaving. Sigh … only hate that Hongxiao is powerless!”
Ye Yuan listened quietly by the side, guessing in his heart.
Sure enough, the matters back then were not that simple.
Jian Hongxiao cast the art of defying heaven and changing fate for a person called Fengqi, wanting to avoid a disaster.
It was just a pity that in the end, it caused a heavy loss. Yet, Jian Hongxiao was still unable to salvage Fegnqi’s life.
Jian Sutao suddenly looked at Ye Yuan and said, “Junior, you came here for the Six Veins Stellar Pill’s pill formula?”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Yes, Senior please grant the pill formula for a look.”
“The Six Veins Stellar Pill’s pill formula, I can’t give you!” Jian Sutao shook his head and said.
Chapter 1961. Ancient God Battlefield |
“Why?” Ye Yuan was taken aback when he heard it and said in puzzlement.
He could tell that the relationship between Jian Sutao and Jian Hongxiao was not ordinary.
Logically speaking, Jian Sutao should hope for Jian Hongxiao’s recovery.
But Jian Sutao directly refused him. This made him very perplexed.
Jian Sutao said coolly, “The pill formula of the Six Veins Stellar Pill is unique to my Jian Family, how can it be easily shown to people?”
Ye Yuan’s brows furrowed slightly and he said, “But this medicinal pill, other people don’t have much benefits consuming it too. It’s only useful to the Jian Family’s members, isn’t it? Even if I look at the pill formula, I’m also using it to save the Jian Family’s people. There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with it, right?”
Jian Sutao’s gaze turned intent; a wave of anger was released from his body. Ye Yuan immediately felt a tremendous pressure.
Jian Hongxiao was alarmed in his heart and hurriedly said, “Your Excellency, calm your anger. Ye Yuan he … is also doing this for the sake of saving me.”
“Humph! To actually dare rebut this Empyrean, what gall!” Jian Sutao said with a cold snort.
Ye Yuan did not give way in the slightest and said, “This junior is just stating a fact! This pill formula being placed in Senior’s hands, no one can refine it at all. It can only make the Jian Family’s people bemoan in the face of it. But put it in my hands, it can save many Jian Family’s people. What’s there to be against it?”
When Jian Sutao heard that, his fury was even more apparent as he said in a cold voice, “Heh, truly a wildly conceited junior! How can my Jian Family’s rules be gesticulated by you, a junior? Moreover, you want to refine the Six Veins Stellar Pill just based on that you just entered rank six? You’re looking down on this medicinal pill too much!”
Ye Yuan looked at Jian Sutao and said coolly, “Give me five years, and I’ll definitely be able to refine the Six Veins Stellar Pill!”
Jian Sutao smiled coldly and said, “A toad yawning; what high-sounding sentiments! You think that refining rank six divine pills is as easy as eating and drinking? Or is it that you think that you possess emperor surmounting aura and is invincible under the heavens? If this Empyrean kills you right now, even if you have the potential to cultivate to the realm of Dao Ancestor, it’s also to no avail!”
Finished talking, Jian Sutao’s aura really became cold. Clearly, he was genuinely enraged and wanted to kill people!
An aura that made Ye Yuan suffocated came in an overwhelming manner.
Ye Yuan felt as if the entire starry sky was collapsing, the whole process incomparably horrifying from start to end.
Back then, when Ye Yuan was still at the Divine Vestige Realm, he had once faced before the Empyrean Realm Lin Changqing. At that time, he already felt extremely powerless.
But that kind of feeling put at now, simply paled in comparison with it.
This empyrean in front of him was not what Lin Changqing that sort of rookie could compare to.
However, no matter how strong Jian Sutao was, Ye Yuan’s brows did not move a bit. His face did not have the slightest change in countenance.
Ye Yuan this person was this stubborn.
Cold sweat poured profusely on Jian Hongxiao’s forehead. He also did not expect that things would develop to this step.
“Lord Sutao, please calm your anger! If you want to kill Ye Yuan, then kill me first.”
Jian Sutao said in a cold voice, “Humph! Do you think that this Empyrean won’t kill you on the account of Fengqi’s face, is it?”
Jian Hongxiao’s face changed and he shook his head and said, “Dare not! But Ye Yuan only came here in order to save me! I can’t passively watch him die!”
Ye Yuan gave a cold laugh and said to Jian Hongxiao, “Heh, if not going to give this pill formula, don’t give it then; so what? Other people can create this medicinal pill; so I, Ye Yuan, can similarly create it. It just takes some effort! Senior, let’s go!”
Ye Yuan even created the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill, this kind of heaven-defying medicinal pill. He did not believe that he could not create the Six Veins Stellar Pill.
It was just that Ye Yuan currently just broke through to the Origin Pill Realm. He still remained at the deduction and familiarization stage of rank six divine pills.
Otherwise, he also would not say that he needed five years to refine the Six Veins Stellar Pill.
Blackmailing Ye Yuan with medicinal pills, this sort of thing, not many people could do it.
Jian Sutao also did not expect that Ye Yuan would actually say such words, and could not help being taken aback.
Although his Dao of Divination was exceedingly formidable, he could not calculate Ye Yuan’s situation. He naturally did not understand Ye Yuan either.
Hence, he did not know how formidable Ye Yuan’s strength in alchemy was.
It was just that this kind of big talk was a little too big, right?
One had to know, this medicinal pill was jointly developed by Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets and Medicine Ancestor. There was actually someone in this world who dared to say that they could create the Six Veins Stellar Pill independently?
But Ye Yuan said these words in all solemnity, but it also seemed so credible.
Jian Sutao was dazed.
More importantly, Ye Yuan was really leaving and did not seem to have the intention of staying.
Jian Sutao’s face fell and he said in a cold voice, “It’s also not that I can’t give you the pill formula, but … you have to promise this empyrean a condition!”
Ye Yuan’s figure paused and he involuntarily turned his head back, sizing Jian Sutao up with a smile that was not a smile.
Suddenly he realized that turns out Jian Sutao was waiting for this moment?
Ye Yuan was also very perplexed. He wanted to save Jian Hongxiao. This was originally a good thing. Why would Jian Sutao still decline with all sorts of excuses?
He did not expect that this fellow was actually having ideas about him.
“Senior, to the Jian Family’s people, I’m just an outsider. You used a Jian Family’s person’s life to threaten an outsider; isn’t doing this somewhat immoral?” Ye Yuan said with a smile that was not a smile.
Jian Sutao was shrewd with age, his face being thick as a city wall. He did not feel embarrassed either. He just said coolly, “You will agree.”
Ye Yuan countered with a question: “Based on what?”
Jian Sutao said, “Just based on this Empyrean’s divination art.”
Ye Yuan’s pupils constricted and he said helplessly, “Alright, you win. Say it; what’s the condition?”
Ye Yuan understood that Jian Sutao could not divine him, but he could divine Jian Hongxiao.
Hence, he knew that Jian Hongxiao would recover very soon.
And this was confirmed precisely by him.
Ye Yuan was helpless. This feeling of being kneaded by people, he did not like it.
But he owed Jian Hongxiao.
For Jian Hongxiao’s sake, he would indeed agree.
After all, developing a new medicinal pill, this kind of thing, took too much effort.
Furthermore, this medicinal pill even mustered the painstaking effort of two mighty Transcendent Heavenly Emperors. How arduous would it be to develop it?
The difficulty level was probably not much lower than the Soul Driving Dao Fusion Pill.
Furthermore, this was a rank six divine pill, the development difficulty would be much greater.
Therefore, even though he clearly knew that Jian Sutao’s way of doing things was very shameless, Ye Yuan could only accept it.
“You help me to enter the Ancient God Battlefield and retrieve an item!” Jian Sutao said.
Jian Hongxiao’s face changed and he said, “Your Excellency, could it be to retrieve that item?”
Jian Sutao nodded his head slightly, equivalent to tacitly acknowledging it.
“No way! I’d rather not recover! I can’t let Ye Yuan take this risk!” Jian Hongxiao said firmly.
Jian Sutao said coolly, “Who I’m asking isn’t you, it’s him! Furthermore, he’ll definitely agree.”
Jian Hongxiao’s face changed and he said to Ye Yuan, “Ye Yuan, you can’t enter the Ancient God Battlefield! That place is too dangerous; you’ll lose your life!”
But Ye Yuan looked at Jian Sutao and said, “Okay, I agree! Now, can you hand the pill formula to me?”
Jian Sutao looked at Ye Yuan rather surprisedly and said, “You’re not asking what item this Empyrean wants you to retrieve? And also you’re not asking what kind of place the Ancient God Battlefield is?”
Chapter 1962. Emperor Bone |
“Since I must agree, what’s the difference between asking or not? It’s just that, Senior threatening me with a Jian Family’s member made this Ye broaden his horizons,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
The meaning of his words was: Your esteemed self’s shamelessness, this Ye Yuan has seldom seen it in all my life.
No matter how good Ye Yuan’s relationship with Jian Hongxiao was, Jian Hongxiao was a Jian Family’s member in the end.
As the Jian Family’s senior, Jian Sutao actually used a Jian Family’s member to threaten an outsider. This kind of action was truly utterly contemptible.
Jian Sutao did not seem to be embarrassed. He just said coolly, “You have the right to choose.”
Ye Yuan looked at Jian Sutao and said calmly, “Why me?”
Jian Sutao said, “It’s naturally because you’re a child of destiny. Such a monstrous destiny like yours, it’s still this empyrean’s first time seeing.”
Ye Yuan’s two eyes narrowed slightly, quietly waiting for him to continue.
“The Ancient God Battlefield is a mystic realm that my Jian Family controls. Legend says that very, very long ago, an earth-shaking ancient god war happened before in the Ancient God Battlefield. The strength of those ancient gods, the weakest was at least at the Celestial Deity Realm. In that unparalleled great battle, there were countless True Gods, even Empyrean powerhouses, that perished in it. There were even many Heavenly Emperor level powerhouses.”
Ye Yuan was slightly startled in his heart. He did not think that this Ancient God Battlefield actually even had Heavenly Emperor powerhouses in it.
What kind of heaven-shocking degree did that kind of war reach?
Although the present Heavenspan World still had endless disputes, it was still relatively calm on the whole, with all kinds of levels very strict.
It was very hard for such a terrifying battle to happen.
“Inside the Ancient God Battlefield, there are countless soul treasures. Every ten thousand years, Heavenly Emperor Profound Secrets will personally open up this Ancient God Battlefield and send a batch of destiny children inside. Those lucky ones can obtain heaven-defying lucky chances, breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly. They will be soaring to the sky with one leap. Of course, the Ancient God Battlefield is extremely dangerous. Ancient battle souls, ancient grand arrays, crisscross inside. Also, there are variant species bred during these countless years. It could be said to be beset with danger. Even emperor surmounting auras, those that perish inside each time were also not in the minority,” Jian Sutao explained.
“In that case, those entering the Ancient God Battlefield from Extreme Luck Great Imperial Capital, it will not just be me alone?” Ye Yuan said.
Jian Sutao nodded and said, “For ten thousand years, this empyrean naturally sought out a batch of destiny children. Whether they are entering inside or not, it is also up to their own decision. But this kind of opportunity is hard to come across in a thousand years. So very few people will refuse.”
Of course, no one would refuse.
Ye Yuan reckoned that those people able to be chosen at least had imperial aura too.
People with this degree of destiny, if they did not even dare to challenge a mystic realm, that was also too cowardly.
Moreover, although this Ancient God Battlefield was perilous, massive lucky chances also went along with it.
Once they obtained some ancient relics, their destinies would be more exuberant, and their future prospects would also have more room.
Perhaps some imperial auras could even break through to the emperor surmounting aura after entering the Ancient God Battlefield.
These children of destiny were the candidates for future Empyreans and Heavenly Emperors.
Honestly speaking, Ye Yuan was indeed quite moved.
“What do you want me to help you retrieve?”
Jian Sutao said, “Emperor beast divine bone!”
Emperor beast, as the name suggested, was a Heavenly Emperor level divine beast!
This level of a divine beast, each one was a supreme existence of heaven and earth, their strength being fearsome to the extreme.
Even if they had died for many years, the energy contained inside the divine bones was also extremely terrifying.
But Ye Yuan was very clear about it. The place where the emperor beast divine bone was at must be extremely dangerous, far surpassing the limits of his current abilities.
Otherwise, Jian Hongxiao also would not be worried for him.
It was also no wonder that even Jian Sutao, this level of Empyrean powerhouse, would also be moved by it.
“More than 100 thousand years ago, that batch of destiny child entered the Ancient God Battlefield and accidentally discovered a Qilin emperor bone. It’s just too bad that no one could obtain it. Over the past 100 thousand years, this Empyrean had sent people inside each time, wanting to obtain this emperor bone. But sadly, it was all for naught,” Jian Sutao said.
