This guy was a human, but cultivated the 'sacred hand dao.' (CHECK)
Putting it bluntly, he was a thief!
Jiang Taicang's strength was heaven-piercing, but could not change the habit of kleptomania. 5000 years ago, the White Tiger Clan organized a sacrificial grand ceremony and prepared several top-notch sacrificial goods. Who knew that this guy actually directly pocketed those few sacrificial goods.
The white tiger spirit was not lacking those few sacrificial goods. But it survived through the White Tiger Clan's powers of faith.
Those few sacrificial goods were entrusted with the White Tiger Clan's powers of faith. Being taken away by Jiang Taicang like this, how could the White Tiger Clan not be furious?
Hence, the White Tiger Clan's patriarch back then personally moved out, chased him down for a full two year's time, and finally captured him back.
To be able to escape from under the White Tiger Patriarch's hands for a full two years, Jiang Taicang could also be sufficiently proud.
Hearing Jiang Taicang's experiences, Ye Yuan did not hesitate either, immediately deciding on him.
Thereupon, this three-person group was also considered officially formed. The other people's strengths were clearly more than a level weaker than the three of them. Ye Yuan did not consider anymore either.
As for Ao Qian, Ye Yuan also asked about his situation.
As a result, the reason why he was imprisoned shocked Ye Yuan too.
This guy actually challenged the White Tiger Clan and swallowed a 50 thousand-year-old crane essence inside a mystic realm. As a result, he was immediately captured by the White Tiger Clan.
Crane essence was not a white crane that became a demon, but a kind of longevity-promoting spirit medicine. It was not within the scope of the nine tiers.
A 50 thousand years old crane essence was sufficient to extend a person's longevity by more than a fold!
At that time, Ao Qian was also anxious until his eyes turned red. Looking as his time was almost up and that he was going to pass away in meditation, how could he care about whether it offended the White Tiger Clan? He directly swallowed it.
In the end, he lived until now, but was also locked up inside this White Tiger Dungeon, never to rise again!
Back then, the White Tiger Patriarch said: Didn't you devour the crane essence? Then I'll let you savor the taste of waiting for death inside the White Tiger dungeon well!
The White Tiger Clan sealed Ao Qian's demonic core and sealed off his bloodline power. He could not do anything inside this dungeon at all, and could only stare blankly with his eyes open.
This stare was more than 20 thousand years!
If not for Ye Yuan, he would really stare all the way here until death.
However, while these three people's strengths were formidable, being sealed inside this White Tiger Dungeon, the effect on them was immense.
Even if Ye Yuan let them out, without a thousand year's time, it was very hard for them to recover to the peak.
Their current strength was at most the level of ordinary divine kings too; a long shot away from their peak period.
Reaching the Divine King Realm, each step taken was extremely arduous.
Unless it was the Ten Great Divine Kings, that kind of peerless geniuses, otherwise, to many Divine King experts, they would pretty much be like that for their entire lives.
Ye Yuan bringing the three people out, Rong Xiao naturally could not dispense with a warning.
His expression was very grim as he said coldly, "The three of your matters, you know it yourself! You all are my White Tiger Clan's mortal enemies! Ye Yuan is my White Tiger Clan's savior, that's why this seat gave him three quotas. However … there's also an agreement between Ye Yuan and me. After returning you guys your freedom in the future, if you dare to come to find trouble with my White Tiger Clan, he'll personally cut the three of you down! Don't doubt my words, if Ye Yuan wants to kill you all, he might only require several decades! After a thousand years, you won't even be fit to carry his shoes for him! Following him might be the luckiest thing in the three of your lives!"
When Ao Qian trio heard that, their expressions all changed. To be able to make the White Tiger Patriarch say this sort of words, Ye Yuan was clearly very extraordinary.
Furthermore, Rong Xiao said it, Ye Yuan was the White Tiger Clan's savior.
What kind of incident could make the White Tiger Clan release the three most important people in the dungeon?
These three people were not stupid and knew that they had underestimated Ye Yuan too much previously.
After the joy of getting out of prison settled down, they became aware that they seemed to have followed a very remarkable master!
Especially Ao Qian, he was the clearest what kind of existence Long Teng was.
In that era, Long Teng was reputed as the dragon clan's most powerful genius after Divine Dao dwindled to zero!
Even he acknowledged Ye Yuan like so. This child was bound to be extraordinary!
Of course, when Ye Yuan took them into the Vast Heaven Pagoda, their astonishment reached an even more unsurpassable height.
This was a quasi-divine artifact!
Ye Yuan's figure appeared and said nonchalantly to the three people, "The three of you following me, I naturally won't treat you guys shabbily. My current strength isn't there yet. When I break through to Dao Profound, I should be able to refine medicinal pills for you guys. At that time, it should be able to help you all recover to peak strength. Of course, Tier 9 spirit medicines aren't that easy to find. This period of time, I'll keep an eye out for you all."
Ye Yuan's words made the three people endlessly shocked.
Breaking through to Dao Profound Realm and he could refine medicinal pills?
The medicinal pills that the three of them required were high-grade Tier 9!
Chapter 1014 - Emperor Qi
"Patriarch, Ji Qingyun is insolent and disrespectful, and really took the Sacred Dragon Token to be his belonging! I'm really perplexed why the Sacred Dragon Token would choose a human."
When Long Zaitian returned to the clan, the moment he saw the Azure Dragon Patriarch, Ao Duo, he poured out all of the grievances during this period.
Ye Yuan having the Sacred Dragon Token in his hands was like a porcupine; unable bite down at all.
But Aoduo did not have Long Zaitian's fretfulness. He just said coolly, "A divine artifact is an item with a spirit. Moreover, the Sacred Dragon Token is a heavenly divine artifact. It has its own reasons for picking Ji Qingyun. What I mind more is that Ji Qingyun has only resurrected for 20 years, why would his bloodline power be so powerful? Heard Jianbo say that his bloodline power actually exceeded the limits of the Bloodsoul Stone. This is simply something inconceivable."
On the day when Ao Jianbo was severely wounded by the Universal Void Slaughter God Slaying Formation, it was also thanks to Ye Yuan breaking the deadlock that he got away with his life. At this time, he was currently recuperating inside the clan.
Getting Ye Yuan over, it was naturally impossible for Ao Duo to not do a comprehensive understanding of Ye Yuan.
In his previous life, Ye Yuan had come to the dragon clan before. But at that time, he was the high and lofty Qingyun Zi. No one in the entire Divine Realm dared to provoke.
In this life, Ye Yuan was merely Ye Yuan. But the dragon clan's own clan rules gave Au Duo a big headache.
After Long Zaitian brought Ye Yuan back, the dragon clan could only wait upon Ye Yuan with good food and drinks. Ao Duo did not have the intention of meeting.
If he really met, it would be embarrassing to open his mouth instead.
It was just that the thing that made Ao Duo found it hard to conceive was not just the Sacred Dragon Token in his possession, there was also Ye Yuan's dragon race bloodline.
"This … could it be that the White Tiger Clan's Bloodsoul Stone had problems?" Long Zaitian said rather uncertainly.
Ao Duo shook his head and said, "Shouldn't be! Za
itian, say, since he obtained the Sacred Dragon Token, could he have obtained a genuine divine beast bloodline?"
Long Zaitian was startled inwardly and looked at Ao Duo strangely.
The so-called genuine divine beast bloodline was naturally the bloodline of a Deity Realm Azure Dragon powerhouse!
This sort of thing was simply a priceless treasure.
And genuine divine beast bloodline had never been seen before ever since Divine Dao dwindled to zero.
Now that the Sacred Dragon Token came into being, divine beast bloodline coming into being was naturally nothing strange either.
"With Patriarch saying so, it really is like that! Only a divine beast bloodline can make the Bloodsoul Stone unable to withstand it, right? Patriarch, this boy is certain that we don't dare to touch him, that's why he followed me back to the dragon clan. Why not …"
Long Zaitian gave a vicious look. That meaning was obviously to dispose of Ye Yuan and forcefully snatch the Sacred Dragon Token and bloodline.
But Ao Duo shook his head and said, "This matter still needs to be thought through at length. It has to be Ji Qingyun handing it over willingly. Going against the ancestral teachings, this sort of thing, isn't considered much among humans. But among my demon race, especially to the Azure Dragon Clan, it's a massive matter. Unless there are no other alternatives, this seat doesn't wish to come to that point."
Long Zaitian's face fell slightly, but he nodded his head.
He was aware of Ao Duo's misgivings. The dragon race's inheritance was in the bloodline. Violating the ancestral teachings, this sort of thing, one might just suffer a bloodline backlash. Regardless of who it was, nobody was willing to go and do it either.
...
Ye Yuan came to the dragon clan but was very leisurely and carefree.
The dragon clan seemed to have forgotten about his existence and pushed him to one side the whole time.
Ye Yuan did not idle away either and had a catch up about the old days with Ao Lin, but placed the majority of the time on cultivation.
The matter of Ji Canglan honestly caught Ye Yuan by surprise.
Facing the Ji Canglan who entered the realm of Void Mystic, Ye Yuan was currently too weak!
Dealing with ordinary divine king powerhouses, Ye Yuan leaping realms to battle was like having a common meal. But against Void Mystic powerhouses, Ye Yuan's strength was somewhat lacking.
Void Mystic powerhouses, every last one's comprehension towards concepts was extremely profound.
With Ye Yuan's current concepts comprehension, even if he was sent to Void Mystic Realm directly, it was also impossible for him to defeat Ji Canglan.
Putting aside capturing the white tiger spirit, Ji Canglan's strength was even that tiny hint stronger than Rong Xiao!
One had to know that Rong Xiao was a veteran Void Mystic powerhouse, while Ji Canglan had at most just entered the realm of Void Mystic for 20 years.
All along, concepts were Ye Yuan's ace-in-the-hole to leap realms and battle. His concepts comprehension was more than just a tiny bit stronger than the average person.
But the time he cultivated was too short when all was said and done. To an alchemist who had never cultivated concepts in his past life, to be able to cultivate to such a boundary in 20 years time, this was simply a peerless genius.
But no matter how genius, he was also not Ji Canglan's match!
That battle that day, if not for Ye Yuan inflicting self-harm as the price and catching Ji Canglan off guard, he would have long become a deceased soul under Ji Canglan's sword already!
Prior to this, Ye Yuan's greatest reliance was that he was in the dark, and Ji Canglan was in the open.
But now, his identity was already exposed. Ye Yuan no longer had anything to count on. God knows when the next time Ji Canglan make his move would be?
Resigning himself to death was not Ye Yuan's character.
His greatest reliance right now was the Sacred Dragon Token. So no matter what, he would not give it to the dragon clan.
And although the Vast Heaven Stele and Soul Suppressing Pearl, these two items, were formidable, he could not harness them at all currently.
According to Long Teng's version of things, only when he reached Dao Profound Realm, could he sense the Vast Heaven Stele's truly formidable aspects.
And Ye Yuan was already Ninth Level Phaseless currently. These few days, he had been consolidating his cultivation realm the entire time, planning on breaking through to Dao Profound in one stroke!
The Dao Profound Realm was different from any cultivation realm previously.
This was a mysterious and hard to fathom boundary!
After breaking through to Dao Profound, the martial artist's essence energy sea would produce a change once more. The originally ocean-like essence energy sea would form clouds of dense qi.
The Dao Profound Realm's might lied precisely here!
The Dao Profound Realm also went by emperor realm. This was not randomly termed. The dense qi formed after breaking through to the Dao Profound Realm was called emperor qi!
Once emperor qi was formed, the power of martial techniques would skyrocket. A martial artist's grasp of essence energy would also reach an inconceivable level.
The amount of emperor qi also represented the superiority or inferiority of emperor realm powerhouses.
Ye Yuan's essence energy sea already reached an unimaginable 100 million feet in circ.u.mference. It was a hundred times of the average Ninth Level Phaseless!
Once he broke through to Dao Profound Realm, it would produce large quantities of emperor qi. His strength would also not be what the average First Level Dao Profound Realm would compare to.
After resting and rehabilitating for the greater part of a month in the dragon clan, Ye Yuan's cultivation realm finally finished consolidating.
He made use of another three day's time to refine a kind of medicinal pill called Emperor Qi Pill.
In his past life, he relied on precisely this Emperor Qi Pill before breaking through to Dao Profound Realm.
In this life, Ye Yuan's soul force already broke through to Alchemy Emperor Realm. Refining this mere Tier 8 Emperor Qi Pill was naturally no object.
Without a doubt, transcendent-grade Emperor Qi Pill!
All preparations in place, the dragon clan still did not seem to have the intention of finding him to negotiate. Ye Yuan just broke through in the dragon clan straightforwardly.
At present, his fleshy body and divine soul both already stepped into emperor realm. It was only missing this essence energy cultivation realm alone.
Rumble …
After Ye Yuan consumed the transcendent-grade Emperor Qi Pill, very soon, large quantities of emperor qi took shape inside his essence energy sea.
Heavenly tribulation arrived once more right on schedule!
Chapter 1015 - Variant Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation!
"Who's transcending tribulation in the clan? Seems like, it's transcending Tier 9 heavenly tribulation. It's just that this heavenly tribulation's pressure … is a bit too terrifying, right?"
"Yeah. I feel that if I were to transcend the tribulation, I'd definitely be smitten to death! I've never seen a heavenly tribulation with this sort of power before! It's too scary!"
"Fool, what do you guys know? This is a Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation. It was said that when Patriarch broke through to Tier 9 back then, he only transcended an Intermediate 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation too!"
To be able to attract a 9-by-9 heavenly tribulation when breaking through to Dao Profound, those were all geniuses among geniuses.
But the vast majority of martial artists were all just Minor 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation.
Those able to bring down an Intermediate 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation were just an extremely, extremely small portion.
A powerhouse like Ao Duo also merely attracted an Intermediate 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation. The rarity could be imagined.
And attracting a Major 9-by-9 Heav
enly Tribulation was even rarer. In the entire Divine Realm, it was also extremely rare to hear of someone able to attract a Major 9-by-9 Heavenly Tribulation!
Under the tribulation clouds, inside the storm, Ye Yuan stood in the air, causing an uproar in the dragon clan.
This time, the scope of the tribulations clouds were extremely vast, virtually covering the entire Azure Dragon Clan's totem territory.
In the sky, lightning danced like silver snakes. The acc.u.mulated pressure became more and more horrifying, but drew the bow without shooting, giving people an extremely strong sense of oppression.
Ao Duo looked at that figure in the distance, his face revealing a look of shock as he said, "Ji Qingyun focused on alchemy and was uncommitted to martial arts. Didn't think that in this life, he actually exhibited such terrifying martial Dao talent. This martial Dao talent compared to his alchemy Dao isn't the least bit inferior either!"
"This … How is this possible? It's only been a short 20 years time, I even thought that his cultivation realm was all stacked up with medicinal pills, didn't think that …"
Long Zaitian looked at the Ye Yuan in the sky and was speechless for a long time.
Crack! Crack!
Amidst the dragon clan's astonishment, the first bolt of heavenly tribulation tore through the air and arrived!
That coarse lightning seemingly tore open a large hole in the sky. Just the power of the first bolt of heavenly tribulation made people feel terror.
Ye Yuan did not hesitate in the slightest either. Lifting his hand, it was a Coiling Dragon Heaven Devastating Palm.
Rumble!
Ye Yuan's figure was suddenly smashed down several hundred feet. But he still forcefully stood his ground.
This first bolt of heavenly tribulation was more terrifying compared to any of the heavenly tribulations he had transcended before in the past.
One had to know that Ye Yuan was already Tier 9 fleshy body currently. Although this palm was not his all-out attack, the power was also very terrifying already.
But facing the heavenly tribulation, he was actually a notch weaker!
Seeing this scene, Ao Duo's expression suddenly changed, and he instructed, "Immediately activate the clan protecting grand array!"
