Ye Yuan’s Spirit Gathering Grand Array was too unreasonable. The spiritual energy above, it could not snatch any at all. So it only snatched the spiritual energy below.
The major powers who comprehend Formation Dao here, those were all calculated with tens of thousands of years.
They cultivated while comprehending Dao here. But Ye Yuan drained the spiritual energy that they cultivated dry, how could they not be resentful?
But these Heavenly Emperors did not dare to offend Ye Yuan either, afraid that he would smite them with a bolt of lightning.
There was no choice. They could only endure and hope that he would finish cultivating soon.
Who knew that this guy was really shameless. The moment he cultivated, it was seven years!
These seven years, the cultivation of the powerhouses below 2800 miles virtually did not make the slightest improvement!
The resentment of the mountain full of powerhouses grew increasingly heavier. Riverword and Wild Blade almost could not bear it anymore.
If Ye Yuan still did not wake up, they almost could not resist taking the initiative to wake Ye Yuan up anymore.
Ye Yuan yawned and said with cupped fists, “Seniors, sorry about it. This Ye was comprehending Dao here and forgot the time for a moment, truly sorry.”
Said that he was sorry, Ye Yuan completely did not have an apologetic appearance.
He relied on his ability to seize spiritual energy. So who did he bothered?
This Eight Void Mountain was not opened by someone, right? Who set the rules to prohibit cultivation here?
Ye Yuan was not an overbearing person, it was not worthwhile for him to blame himself for this sort of thing.
Breaking through two minor realms in seven years, he was still very satisfied.
On Eight Void Mountain, the group of Heavenly Emperors dared to get angry but did not dare to speak.
Fortunately, it was only seven years. If Ye Yuan comprehended for 80 to 100 years here, they might as well go down the mountain.
At this time, a figure slowly walked down from on top of the mountain.
“It’s Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun! What’s he finding that surnamed Ye for?”
“Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun is Eight Void Mountain’s legend, an existence above 3500 miles, even more fearsome than Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye! Could it be that he’s looking for trouble? Heh, there’s a good show to watch now!”
“Want to find trouble, he would have long gone for it. Why would he wait for that surnamed Ye to finish cultivating?”
… …
The moment this figure came out, it immediately caused a stir.
Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun was a terrifying existence above 3500 miles, his cultivation being terrifying to the extreme.
Existences the likes of Heavenly Emperor Heavenly Eye had to bow their heads in submission in front of him too.
Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun slowly walked to the vicinity of Ye Yuan and opened his mouth and said, “This old man is Xiu Yun. Little Friend Ye finished cultivating. So are you going down the mountain?”
Ye Yuan clasped his hands and said, “I’m Ye Yuan, offering greetings to Senior Xiu Yun. What Senior said is right. This Ye is just about to go down the mountain!”
Xiu Yun said, “Little Friend Ye’s Formation Dao can move the gods, making this old man admire endlessly. I wonder where Little Friend Ye was taught? This old man wants to find a time to go and exchange views with Little Friend Ye. I wonder if I can?”
The moment these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar!
Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun, what kind of proud existence was he? He actually humbled himself in making acquaintances!
Furthermore, his tone did not seem like addressing a junior, but like he was talking to a peer.
Clearly, he felt that Ye Yuan already had this qualification!
Toward such existences, Ye Yuan was long already used to it and naturally would not feel any feeling of being overwhelmed by an unexpected favor.
At once, Ye Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile, “This Ye came from Southern Border’s Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma. If Senior Xiu Yun is interested in coming, I’ll naturally feel greatly honored by your gracious presence. Alright, this Ye still have important matters. I’ll take my leave first”
Xiu Yun nodded slightly and said, “Southern Border’s Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma, is it? Okay, this old man has noted it down.”
At this time, he suddenly said in a clear voice, “If you all covet Little Friend Ye’s Dao artifact, it’s becoming enemies with this Deva!”
This voice instantly spread throughout Eight Void Mountain.
The Heavenly Emperors who had formidable strength were actually eager for action in their hearts already.
After all, the allure of a Dao artifact was too strong!
Furthermore, as long as Ye Yuan left Eight Void Mountain’s powerful restrictions, he was just a measly little Empyrean Realm brat.
With their late-stage Heavenly Emperor strength, why would they care about an Empyrean?
But this sentence from Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun immediately dispelled their thoughts.
Ye Yuan could be offended, but Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun? They could not afford to offend the latter!
Chapter 2261. Certain Death Scheme! |
With Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun’s awe, Ye Yuan swaggered out of Eight Void Mountain and left just like that.
But even if there wasn’t Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun, he would not care either.
Three great Deva Realm powerhouses pursued him for a trillion miles and failed to make him stay; let alone a few Heavenly Emperors?
Presently, his strength made great improvements. Even if he was not a Heavenly Emperor’s match, escaping did not pose a problem.
Heavenly Emperor Xiu Yun naturally understood this as well. It was merely offering a convenient favor. That was all.
At least, his one sentence could save Ye Yuan quite a bit of trouble.
When the three people left Eight Void Mountain, Ye Yuan stopped his footsteps and said to Riverword with clasped hands, “Senior, this Ye has other important matters and will take my leave here! If Senior is free, you can also come to Southern Border’s Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma to find this Ye.”
He and Riverword were chance acquaintances. Ye Yuan saving him was also just happening to be present on the occasion.
Presently, Shui Yuan three people, two were dead and one seriously injured. It was impossible to find trouble with Riverword within a short time.
Riverword was a Ninth Firmament Heavenly Emperor powerful existence. Even if he was presently crippled, he had the ability to protect himself too. It was naturally not nice for Ye Yuan to overstep his boundaries.
If it was too deliberate, Riverword would even think that he had some devious thoughts.
Riverword’s expression was complicated. Finally making up his mind, he handed the Limitless God Killing Bow to Ye Yuan and said, “Little Friend Ye, this Limitless God Killing Bow, I’ll give to you!”
Ye Yuan was slightly surprised, Riverword practically died, with his Dao dissipating, for the Limitless God Killing Bow.
But now, he actually gave it to him?
He shook his head and said with a smile, “Senior, you don’t have to be like this. I didn’t save you for it.”
But Riverword insisted: “Little Friend Ye doesn’t have to worry too much. If you covet it, you didn’t need to save me at all. You could have just killed me back then! I’m giving it to you, firstly to thank your life-saving grace. Second, it’s that I’m already crippled. Wanting it is useless too. So might as well give it to you.”
Ye Yuan thought about it and said, “Alright, then this Ye won’t be pretentious and accept it first. In the future, when Senior’s strength recovers, I’ll return it to you.”
Riverword smiled bitterly when he heard that and said, “I employed the power of my small world to escape with my life and already damaged my foundation. At present, my
small world is already in ruins, becoming a dead world. How can I still recover my strength?”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Senior, rest assured. Heaven doesn’t cut off all roads! Leave your injuries to me.”
Riverword trembled all over and looked at Ye Yuan and said, “You have a way?”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “A hundred over years ago, this Ye had once experienced a great battle, with my small world being completely devastated. Later, this Ye gained enlightenment on Dao and created the Chaos Samsara Pill. That was how I recovered. Senior’s injuries are largely identical with this Ye’s past injury, albeit having some minor differences. After this Ye breaks through to the Heavenly Emperor Realm, as long as I find suitable rank eight spirit medicines, you can naturally recover!”
Riverword’s eyes were originally gloomy. Hearing Ye Yuan’s words, he immediately had a hopeful look.
“This … This … Truly, heaven doesn’t cut off all roads! Being able to meet Little Friend Ye, heaven truly didn’t forsake me! Heaven truly didn’t forsake me!” Riverword said with an agitated look.
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “If Senior doesn’t have anywhere to go, why not go to my Heavenly Eagle and become a permanent resident?”
Riverword nodded his head repeatedly and said, “I’m all alone by myself without a tie in the world. So I’ll go together with you!”
Finished talking, the three people set off once more, heading toward the Southern Border.
… …
Returning to Heavenly Eagle Bodhidharma, it was already several months later.
Ye Yuan ordered people to settle Riverword and Wild Blade down, and then he went to find Bai Tong.
The reason why he came back was that he received Bai Tong’s summons.
“Brother Bai, what happened?” Ye Yuan asked.
Bai Tong’s expression was rather ugly. Handing a jade slip to Ye Yuan, he said, “You see for yourself.”
Ye Yuan’s heart sank, having a foreboding premonition.
Sure enough, after he looked through the things in the jade slip, his expression became extremely ugly.
Ning Tianping was captured!
Ye Yuan heard Ning Tianping say before, his master, Mo Lifei’s enemy, was called Li Zhaoqing, and was at the Eastern Border’s Skyfame Great Imperial Capital.
But this Li Zhaoqing had merely a peak True God cultivation.
Even if he broke through to Empyrean Realm, with Ning Tianping’s present strength, dealing with him should not be a problem.
Before leaving, Ye Yuan gave Ning Tianping quite a number of Empyrean spirit treasures.
Even if he could not win, running away should not be a problem.
But did not expect that Ning Tianping was actually captured.
The jade slip said that Mo Lifei was already killed and Ning Tianping was imprisoned.
This was nothing much. What was strange was that the other party made Ye Yuan bring 50 rank seven divine pills to go and redeem him!
Furthermore, it could only be Ye Yuan alone!
Who the other party was, Ye Yuan did not have the slightest clue.
But Ye Yuan was certain that it was not Li Zhaoqing.
Just the likes of him did not have this ability.
Ye Yuan dug deep within and thought of many possibilities, but also did not think of who it was.
“What do you think?” Ye Yuan asked Bai Tong.
Bai Tong had clearly already thought it over and said in a solemn voice, “This is definitely a trap! Furthermore, the person who laid down the trap understands you very well! In my view, the medicinal pills are just a cover. Their real objective is you!”
Ye Yuan nodded and said, “Tianping has followed me for so many years, I know his disposition. Even if he dies, he also won’t reveal any information about me. I’m afraid that right when Tianping left the city, he was already targeted.”
Bai Tong’s face fell, and he said, “No way, right? Could it be that … we have a spy among us?”
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “Heavenly Eagle developed too quickly these few years. Although the cohesion is very strong, wanting to watch over every aspect is clearly not too likely. It wasn’t a secret that Tianping and I left Heavenly Eagle. It’s also not strange that people knew. They don’t dare to take action against me. So they naturally thought of a plan for Tianping. The other part clearly knows me very well and definitely laid down an inescapable net, waiting for me.”
Bai Tong’s expression changed and he said, “Then … Then what to do? Don’t go!”
Ye Yuan gave Bai Tong a glance. The latter’s face turned red.
He knew that it was impossible for Ye Yuan to not go.
Ye Yuan and Ning Tianping were master and servant in name, but brothers in reality.
Back then, Ye Yuan killed people in a rage for Jiang Ming who was a nobody.
Now, his brother was in trouble. So how could he sit by idly and remain indifferent?
“Relax, the reason why they don’t dare to take action against me is clearly that they don’t have confidence. Moreover, I made great harvests going out this time. These are all outside of their expectations. But before this, I have to make some preparations,” Ye Yuan said.
Bai Tong was worried about his safety, he naturally would not blame Bai Tong.
“I’ll go together with you!” Bai Tong said.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “You can’t go! There are definitely their informants inside and outside the city. Once they discover that you aren’t in the city, they will definitely kill the hostage.”
Bai Tong’s brows furrowed, clearly being quite worried about Ye Yuan going alone.
What he was worried about was if the other party had Heavenly Emperor powerhouses.
With Ye Yuan’s current strength, forget about saving people, he would get captured himself too.
As for spatial law, it was already something that everyone in this Southern Border knew about. The other party would definitely seal off the space around the area and not give Ye Yuan the chance to escape.
This trap was a complete and utter scheme!
You had to come whether or not you wanted to!
Furthermore, the enemy was in the dark and Ye Yuan was in the light. This was virtually a certain death scheme.
Chapter 2262. A Stroke of Genius! |
Skyfame Great Imperial Capital was not the same as other cities, with endless streams of horses and carriages, being so crowded with people.
Ye Yuan arrived outside the city gates and could not help being taken aback.
A girl was standing there, already welcoming him.
The girl greeted with folded hands at the lower right side and smiled brightly as she said, “Xiyue has been waiting here for a long time. Sir seems to be very surprised to see Xiyue?”
This woman was none other than the Rong Xiyue who he happened to meet once before!
Rong Xiyue was Southridge Ten Nations’ Cloudjade Imperial City’s princess, who later entered Linghua Pavilion.
Back then, she instigated behind the scenes to have people frame Jiang Jadehall.
Later, under Ye Yuan’s compelling power, Rong Xiyue had no choice but to come over and extend a formal apology.
Ye Yuan did not expect that it was actually this woman controlling everything at the back!
What deep scheming!
Suddenly, Ye Yuan’s gaze turned intent, and he said in a solemn voice, “You’re of the divine race!”
At that time, Ye Yuan knew absolutely nothing about the divine race and did not detect Rong Xiyue’s abnormality.
Meeting again now, he recognized it with one look.
This time, it was Rong Xiyue’s turn to be surprised. She was first taken aback, and then she immediately smiled and said, “Sir actually knows about the divine race! Then Xiyue needs to re-introduce herself! Divine race’s Hidden Lineage’s Divine Daughter, Rong Xiyue, pays respect to Sir Ye.”
The corners of Ye Yuan’s mouth twitched slightly. Yue Mengli
being captured was to be this whatever Divine Daughter.
He did not expect that he would actually encounter another Divine Daughter.
A surge of killing intent immediately gushed out.
Rong Xiyue was rather surprised by Ye Yuan’s reaction. It was still alright previously, but upon mentioning ‘Divine Daughter’ two words, Ye Yuan’s expression immediately changed.
“Hidden Lineage! Looks like the divine race being suppressed in the Abyss World, your Hidden Lineage escaped a calamity!” Ye Yuan said with a cold smile.
Rong Xiyue said in surprise, “Looks like sir knows a lot about the divine race’s secrets!”
Ye Yuan said in a cold voice, “Not just know, but this Ye even almost killed a Divine Son and the Profound Lineage’s ninth elder! Hope that you aren’t so unlucky to end up in my hands this time.”
Rong Xiyue opened her mouth wide, a look of shock as she said, “Profound Lineage’s ninth elder! Impossible! The nine elders are the strongest people in the race, with your strength, you can’t even survive one move under his hands at all!”
Rong Xiyue naturally knew what kind of figures the nine elders were. So in her view, Ye Yuan’s boasting was a little too big.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “Is that so? Isn’t the two world’s passageway about to link up soon? You can find Nineorigin to confirm it, see if I’m bragging or not. Also, you all have an ancestor called Daymeld. An arm was cut off by me. I don’t know where he ran to now.”
Rong Xiyue’s face was full of shock. Those were all the divine race’s legendary class figures out of Ye Yuan’s mouth.
Especially Daymeld, that was a peak powerhouse of the previous epoch!
Absolutely not just anyone knew about these things.
Furthermore, with her understanding of Ye Yuan, it was impossible for her to talk through her hat.
Could it be that he really did it before?
This was too scary!
She drew a deep breath, her expression slightly awkward as she said, “Sir, please follow me.”
Ye Yuan followed Rong Xiyue into the city but discovered that the people in the city were few and far between.
Furthermore, the people here were all very strange, a murderous aura faintly loomed on each person.
