"Haha, this Emperor has too many things I wish to tell you! Let's have a good chat later! There are many guests present today, so let's not neglect them," Tu You said.
Tu You naturally had a belly full of words he wanted to say to Ye Yuan. But these words were not appropriate to say explicitly in front of people, so he could only hold it in as well.
When those Holy Lords saw Tu You's joyful appearance, each and every one of their expression turned dim.
Entering the boneyard this time, six out of the seven Great Holy Lands' Young Lords perished all at once. Only Sheng Jun alone returned. This threw their hearts into turmoil.
To be able to become the Young Lord, each one of them depended on numerous resources of the Holy land. The Holy Lords definitely also expended painstaking effort.
Losing it all at once, it was hard for them to avoid feeling downcast in their hearts.
It was just that they never thought that after a time interval of a year, Ye Yuan actually survived miraculously. It touched their sore spot all of a sudden.
"Gentlemen, today, my Crimson Afterglow is blessed with two joyous events at the same time. This Emperor is very happy. Everybody, come into the great hall! Ee won't return without getting drunk!" Tu You said heroically.
Seeing Ye Yuan return safe and sound, he was too happy in his heart. As for his current behavior, it was very different from how he usually acted.
These Holy Lords were all shrewd and astute and naturally perceived something different. Regarding this Crimson Afterglow's newly ascended Young Lord, they all cast over curious looks.
When he was passing by Sheng Jun, Sheng Jun also said with a cheerful look, "Brother Ye being able to return safely, this Sheng is glad from the bottom of my heart! I just didn't expect that Brother Ye profited from a misfortune this time and actually broke through to the Heaven Enlightenment Realm."
When Sheng Jun saw Ye Yuan, he was incomparably shocked in his heart too.
Having his divine soul minced by Fiendgod Jia Lan, not only did Ye Yuan's injuries recover fully, he even broke through a major cultivation realm in a year's time. This was simply something inconceivable.
Ye Yuan gave Sheng Jun a glance with a profound meaning and said smilingly, "Time waits for no man, Brother Sheng got to buck up too. Perhaps someday when the Divine Realm gets thrown into chaos, I still have to rely on Brother Sheng's strength!"
Sheng Jun's heart went cold, immediately feeling greater pressure.
The might of the fiendgod was already deeply imprinted in his mind. If Fiendgod Jia Lan really could recover to his pinnacle strength, that would truly be a great calamity to the Divine Realm!
Chapter 853 - Send-Off
"What?! You … You want to go to the Chaotic Devil Sea?"
After the great celebration, Tu You dragged Ye Yuan into a hidden chamber without delay to carry out a conversation.
But the words Ye Yuan's threw out gave Tu You a fright.
"Yes. I have important things and must make a trip to the Chaotic Devil Sea!" Ye Yuan nodded and said.
"But … But …"
Ye Yuan suddenly mentioning that he wanted to leave thoroughly threw Tu You's tempo into confusion. He actually did not know what to say for a moment.
Only after thinking for a long time, did Tu You say, "Then … will you still be coming back?"
At present, Tu You was already aware that the Crimson Afterglow, this temple, was too small, and simply could not accommodate Ye Yuan, a great deity.
It was just that Tu You never expected that this day would actually arrive so quickly.
Ye Yuan was naturally aware of Tu You's concerns and said smilingly, "Rest assured, Holy Lord. No matter where I go, I'll always be the Crimson Afterglow's Young Lord. But I probably can't make it back for a short while."
This sentence represented Ye Yuan's promise to Tu You.
When Ye Yuan soared in the future, he would absolutely pull the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land along.
It was just that right now, Ye Yuan was unable to stay in the Crimson Afterglow anymore. Ye Yuan was carrying too many things on his shoulders. He had more things to do.
A measly little Crimson Afterglow was not his stage.
Hearing Ye Yuan's words, Tu You's expression became complicated. He finally gave a sigh and said, "Ever since that Lord appeared, I knew that you'd leave sooner or later one day. But didn't expect that it was so soon. Since your mind is made up, I won't hold you back anymore. This life of mine was given by you. If you have any needs, feel free to speak."
"That's not right, Holy Lord. The Crimson Afterglow's foundation, the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool, was ruined by me. Ye Yuan is seized with fear! Just a measly little Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill, Holy Lord don't have to worry about it," Ye Yuan said.
The value of the primeval dragon bone was far above that of the Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill. Its significance to Ye Yuan was absolutely not what a Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill could compare to either.
If not for so, how could Ye Yuan possibly utilize such a huge favor to make the Soul Martial Divine King of the Ten Great Divine Kings, Zhong Zizhen, take action to refine this Nine-Yang Spring Restoring Pill?
Ye Yuan could feel that Tu You was truly planning on grooming him as the successor, so he had quite a favorable impression towards Crimson Afterglow as well.
But Tu You shook his head and said, "The Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool's significance was actually already not great to Crimson Afterglow. Otherwise, we wouldn't have kept on going downhill too. Forefather, that sort of peerless genius, is not so easy to show up. You being able to walk to the seventh level of the Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool was already a miracle to the Crimson Afterglow."
The Desolate Ancient Drip Essence Pool was good, but not everybody could walk to the seventh level region.
Except that this time, the Crimson Afterglow really produced several fine saplings. Especially Ye Yuan, he actually walked to the final level. This was already a tie with Forefather's record.
If there were no accidents, Ye Yuan breaking through to the Divine King Realm was no issue at all!
One had to know that the forefather was an existence comparable to the Ten Great Divine Kings. His strength was unfathomable.
Furthermore, no matter which aspect one looked at, Ye Yuan's talent was heaven-defyingly scary. His future accomplishments might not be lower than Forefather's.
"Oh, right, with that guy's temperament, seeing that I'm not in the Crimson Afterglow, he shouldn't take the initiative to make an appearance. How did you detect that fellow's existence?" Ye Yuan suddenly thought of something and asked.
Tu You's heart was slightly apprehensive. Ye Yuan's tone when talking was very casual like he was old friends with that Lord.
Tu You was shrewd with age and could naturally tell that Ye Yuan was not putting on an appearance. But this involuntarily made him become even more curious, just what kind of person was Ye Yuan, to actually be able to become friends with that kind of existence?
A person who was able to think nothing of Vastsun City, no matter how one racked their heads, he was not an ordinary Divine King powerhouse either.
Seeing Ye Yuan inquire, Tu You naturally would not hide it either, giving a recount of the situation that happened that day.
Ye Yuan frowned hard when he heard that. He did not think that there was still such a thing in-between this.
This was really an accident arising from many causes. Otherwise, when he returned now, the Crimson Afterglow would probably be a wasteland already. Thinking about it, he was filled with lingering fear after the event too.
Ye Yuan really did not expect that Zhou Yan actually refused to give up on his evil designs, and he even came to the Crimson Afterglow Holy Land.
Looks like not teaching him a bit of lesson, this fellow would really go from bad to worse!
Ye Yuan's expression was as dark as water. A terrifying aura emitted very naturally.
Tu You could not h
elp being slightly startled when he saw the situation. Ye Yuan was clearly only Heaven Enlightenment Realm, but he actually gave rise to feelings of dread towards Ye Yuan's aura.
"Looks like after coming out from the Chaotic Devil Sea, I'll have to drop by Vastsun City!" Ye Yuan said in a solemn voice.
Tu You was speechless when he heard that. Vastsun City was a Rank One Holy Land with deep foundations. Just the Divine King powerhouses were quite a few.
Even if Ye Yuan's talent was shocking and he was already a Phaseless Realm martial artist after coming out of the Chaotic Devil Sea, it was not possible to deal with a Vastsun City too, right?
But thinking about how Ye Yuan knew that Lord, Tu You let go of his worries too.
As long as he called that Lord, presumably Vastsun City would really not dare to act rashly without careful consideration, right?
...
The next day morning, in front of Crimson Afterglow Holy Land's large-scale transmission array, came a dozen over figures. They were all here to send Ye Yuan off.
"Brother Ye, I didn't expect that you'll be leaving right after you came back. This Sheng was still planning on finding you to enjoy a cup of wine and have a nice chat. Seems like there's no opportunity. The Chaotic Devil Sea is different from the White Valiant Region. Brother Ye got to be careful everywhere," Sheng Jun clasped his hands and said.
Ye Yuan smiled as he said, "Rest assured, Brother Sheng, this Ye is naturally aware. Brother Sheng understands the righteousness of a cause. In the future, your accomplishments are bound to be limitless. This White Valiant Region is too small. If there's a chance, best to go out and walk around more."
Entering the boneyard this time, Sheng Jun's performance made Ye Yuan's eyes lit up.
The human race had an enormous population but was in a state of disunity. People with courage and were worthy like Sheng Jun were really not many.
Now that the Divine Realm's undercurrents were surging and Fiendgod Jia Lan came into being, it was precisely a period of trouble. People like Sheng Jun, naturally the more the merrier.
Sheng Jun smiled and said, "Brother Ye has the same thought as this Sheng. Even if Brother Ye didn't say, this Sheng plans to go out and walk around sometime soon too."
Ye Yuan nodded his head and fished out a small bottle, and threw it to Sheng Jun as he said, "This is a Dharma Word Pill that this Ye refined yesterday night. I believe it will be of some help to Brother Sheng."
Sheng Jun's entire body trembled as he received the Dharma Word Pill in Ye Yuan's hand in disbelief.
"This … This is really a Dharma Word Pill? This Sheng has long heard before of the name of Dharma Word Pill, but nobody in the White Valiant Region is able to refine this pill. Didn't expect that Brother Ye actually has such capability!" Sheng Jun marveled.
Dharma Word Pill was a medicinal pill that helped Heaven Enlightenment Realm medicinal pills breakthrough to Phaseless Realm. Although it was a Tier 7 medicinal pill, it was extremely hard to refine.
Even that Cloud Watchtower Holy Land's Alchemy Venerable powerhouses could not refine it at all either.
Sheng Jun was unable to imagine that Ye Yuan actually only used a night's time to refine a Dharma Word Pill.
Regarding Ye Yuan's martial strength, Sheng Jun had a clear understanding long ago. But he did not think that Ye Yuan actually still had such heaven-defying attainments in alchemy.
"Huhu, Dharma Word Pill isn't considered some incredible medicinal pill. It's not hard for this Ye to refine. Alright, thanks so much for coming to send me off, everyone. Let's meet again if fate wills it!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.
Chapter 854 - Super Transmission Array
Yi Sea City was the Dinghe Region's Rank Four Holy Land, and Yi Sea City was a subordinate force of Dawn Heavenly Palace, one of the Eight Great Super Holy Lands.
Yi Sea City was very prosperous because in the nearby several major regions, only Yi Sea City had a super long-distance transmission array.
In the Divine Realm, wanting to cross several major regions to go on a journey, one must pass through a super long-distance transmission array.
Martial artists likely required several years, even several decades to complete the journey if they relied solely on one's own strength to fly.
Of course, if one's strength reached the Divine King Realm, that was something else entirely.
"Boy, stop looking! The super transmission array is spoiled. Want to hop onto the transmission array, go queue up and register over there!"
A Ninth Level Heaven Enlightenment city guard berated and did not have any respect towards this young man in front of him at all.
And the target he was berating was precisely Ye Yuan who came far away from the White Valiant Region.
The fees required for constructing a super transmission array was an astronomical figure. Places like the White Valiant Region did not have the ability to build a super transmission array at all.
Therefore, for Ye Yuan to want to go to the Chaotic Devil Sea, he had to pass through a place with a super transmission array.
Yi Sea City's super transmission array led to a large city in the proximity of the Chaotic Devil Sea. Hence, Ye Yuan came to Yi Sea City.
Not only did constructing a super transmission array need to cost a huge sum of resources, it even required a coalition of several Tier 9 Array Emperors before it could be completed.
Yi Sea City naturally did not have this ability. This transmission array was assisted by the Dawn Heavenly Palace to build for Yi Sea City in order to strengthen the control over the nearby several major regions.
But when Ye Yuan made it to Yi Sea City, the transmission array was spoiled coincidentally.
What made Ye Yuan depressed was that now, there was already a large group of martial artists held up in Yi Sea City. Even if the transmission array were fixed, if Ye Yuan queued up according to the protocol, it would need a month's time before he could leave as well.
After all, a super transmission array like this, the essence crystals it needed to expend each time was a rather terrifying figure.
This transmission array could only activate once every three days. Each time it activated, it could only transport 300 people.
Ye Yuan familiarized himself with it earlier. Right now, there were already several thousand people registered. He probably could not leave Yi Sea City for a few months.
Currently, the surrounding of the transmission array was already sealed off. Far-away, some Array Masters could be seen currently carrying out repairs inside.
"This brother, I wonder when this super transmission array can be fixed?" Ye Yuan secretly stuffed a bag of earth essence crystals to that city guard and asked.
The city guard darted Ye Yuan a glance with a profound meaning. Clearly, he did not think that this young man was actually so adept. Only then did his expression ease up considerably.
Taking the money, that city guard naturally answered every question: "Maybe 10 days, maybe a year. How can I be certain about this? Repairing this super transmission array requires a Tier 9 Array Emperor to personally take action. Our Yi Sea City doesn't have a Tier 9 Array Emperor. Right now, City Lord His Excellency already ordered people to go to Dawn Heavenly Palace to invite a Tier 9 Array Emperor. But the Tier 9 Array Emperor is in great demand. Whether he comes or not, what time he comes, it's all uncertain."
This … This was awkward!
Ye Yuan was very worried about Long Teng's situation and was not willing to delay even a second. Therefore, he departed on the journey on the second day after he returned to Crimson Afterglow.
He did not expect that although he did not delay at Crimson Afterglow, he was held up in this Yi Sea City.
"Like this huh, I wonder how this transmission array spoiled?" Ye Yuan asked curiously.
Upon mentioning this, that city guard immediately flared up and said, "Don't talk about it! That heaven-damned fellow! Turns out that he was hunted down by the Dawn Heavenly Palace's elders until here. It was also a
coincidence when that fellow arrived here, our transmission array was in a state of activating. That guy killed quite a few people upon making a move and even wrecked the grand array."
One could tell that when this city guard mentioned that person, a look of fear showed in his eyes. Clearly, that person's strength was extremely formidable.
When Ye Yuan heard, he was shocked inwardly too. An existence who could be chased down by the Dawn Heavenly Palace was probably not a good guy.
Furthermore, one could tell that from destroying the grand array, that fellow was definitely a ruthless character.
Damaging the grand array from the interior, one could be swept into a turbulent spatial flow at any time. This was going for broke.
Ye Yuan mused for a moment and said to that city guard, "This one knows about array formations a little. Why not let me lend a hand and try helping out?"
The city guard was stunned and laughed in spite of himself as he said, "Forget it! Even though our Yi Sea City doesn't have a Tier 9 Array Emperor, we have some Tier 8 Array Masters! You take a look at those people inside, they are all master-class figures! What help can you, a little brat, offer?"
Ye Yuan stuffed another bag of earth essence crystals to him and said with a smile, "Big Brother, Younger Brother has been interested in formations since young. You look, there are so many masters inside. Younger Brother also just wish to go in and learn. You look, their age isn't young anymore either. I can always come in handy for some manual labor, right?"
Looking at that bag of earth essence crystals, the city guard was clearly somewhat hesitant already.
Thinking about it, he said, "How about this, I'll go and speak for you. But whether they use you or not isn't something that I can decide! But this thing …"
His meaning was very clear, regardless whether it was a success or failure, this bag of earth essence crystals was his.
Ye Yuan said with a smile, "Don't worry, Big Brother, whether it works or not, since Younger Brother took this thing out, I've never thought about taking it back. Big Brother has a hard job here too. Taking it to drink a bit of alcohol to get over your fatigue is also good."
