True Martial World - Chapter 1354

Chapter 1354

"Haha, congratulations Kid! With this revitalization, you can now be considered quite a figure!"

If Yi Yun's initial attainment of the Purple Blood realm was the first step onto the long path of cultivating martial arts, then the Supremacy realm was reaching a formal milestone . It was a realm that spoke volumes .

At the Supremacy level, one could become an Elder even in mighty sects and be revered by others .

Yi Yun spent nearly a hundred and twenty years going from the eighth-storey Dao Palace realm to the Supremacy realm .

There was no need to take so long but due to Yi Yun's fast cultivation speed in the past, he never had the chance to forge and temper his foundations . As such, he spent the first eighty years just fortifying his foundations .

In cultivation, going out into the world for different experiences and engaging in life-and-death struggles would increase one's cultivation level quickly, but entering seclusion to fuse with the laws was not something that could be ignored .

A hundred and twenty years was long and it was nearly double Yi Yun's present age . But in fact, due to the River of Forgetfulness's water, Yi Yun's true bone age had only increased by five years . It was as though time had stopped acting on Yi Yun's body over the hundred plus years .

Such an opportunity left Old Snake extremely envious . He was already advanced in age and his vital potential had long been expended . Even if he drank the River of Forgetfulness's water, the slowing of time would have zero effect for him . He was incomparable to Yi Yun, whose vital potential was in its greatest abundance at that moment .

Drinking the River of Forgetfulness's water during such a period allowed Yi Yun's vital potential to burn exuberantly for a hundred and twenty years . This left Old Snake extremely envious .

"Kid, this Nine Li Magus Empire has truly given you a great opportunity . This is much more useful than any unique pill or treasure . The effects are compounded when used on you . At your present age, this cultivation level of yours just makes an attempt at the Godly Monarch realm only a matter of time," Old Snake said sincerely .

When he first met Yi Yun, all he did was to answer Huan Chenxue's request of taking care of Yi Yun . But with time, and after interacting with him and seeing his growth, Old Snake began to see Yi Yun as a true junior under his care . He never had children his entire life and it was destined that no miracle would happen for his remaining lifespan . He decided to place all his hopes on Yi Yun . If he could see Yi Yun mature into a Godly Monarch, it would be quite gratifying .

"Senior, I understand . This River of Forgetfulness's water is truly miraculous . "

"It's more than miraculous . The effects are equivalent to giving you an additional hundred and twenty years of cultivation . If you continue drinking it, wouldn't that be ludicrous?" Old Snake felt wistful . He was beginning to fantasize about the boon it would have given him if he obtained a few jars of water from the River of Forgetfulness back in his youth .

Yi Yun said, "Senior, the River of Forgetfulness's water has a limit to its effectiveness . When I first drank it, I experienced time about thirty times faster but the second time I drank it, I experienced time at a slower speed . I imagine it will constantly decrease as I drink more . "

"Is that so…" Old Snake faltered for a moment before he nodded . "That makes sense . If one could keep drinking without any reduction in effect, wouldn't finding the River of Forgetfulness mean eternal life? That would be a violation of the Heavenly Dao . Even the River of Forgetfulness, one of the twelve Fey Gods that controls time, would probably not have the ability to defy the Heavenly Dao…"

Old Snake muttered to himself . Yi Yun agreed wholeheartedly . Eternal life was also something the divine alchemist was pursuing back in his day . He wanted to use pills to achieve that but he had also failed .

There were legends that the peak of martial arts could break the shackles of eternal life . However, he had not heard of anyone that had actually achieved that state since ancient times .

"I have already broken through to the Supremacy realm . It's about time to leave seclusion," said Yi Yun .

He was now greatly indebted to the Nine Li Magus Empire . He naturally wanted to refine the pill for the Nine Li Magus Empire as soon as possible to repay the debt .

Old Snake returned to the God Advent Tower while Yi Yun looked around . The Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm was trying to coil and sleep soundly in the emptied pool but its body was too short . Even though it had tried its best to coil itself, all it did was manage three-quarters of a coil .

As though it sensed something, the Celestial Silkworm slowly opened its eyes and looked at Yi Yun .

It clearly noticed Yi Yun's breakthrough . It opened its eyes wide happily and flew to Yi Yun . It dawdled on Yi Yun's shoulders .

Yi Yun's Dragon Emperor bloodline became thicker after he broke through to the Supremacy realm; therefore, the little fellow became even closer to him .

Of course, Yi Yun also did not discount the possibility that the little fellow was simply in a good mood after enjoying the South Li Fire meal .

"Follow me . Since I've promised you, I'll try to seek out treasures for you," said Yi Yun .

The Celestial Silkworm nodded and obediently coiled on Yi Yun's shoulder . Following that, Yi Yun walked out of the valley and arrived at the teleportation array .

The moment Yi Yun walked onto the teleportation array, it automatically lit up . Following that, there was a flash as Yi Yun's figure vanished from the array .

Nine Li Magus Empire—

Yi Yun returned to the teleportation array situated in the palace but he did not see signs of Aged Blackrock or Nine Li Magus Maiden .

"Aged Blackrock should know that I've returned but he did not send me a voice transmission…"

Yi Yun believed that the commotion created by the teleportation array was something Aged Blackrock would definitely sense . Since Aged Blackrock did not send him a voice transmission, Yi Yun had no way of finding him either . After all, there were many places in the Nine Li Magus Empire to which he was not permitted entry . It was not easy for him to wander around and seek out Aged Blackrock and Nine Li Magus Maiden .

Since that was the case, Yi Yun was in no hurry to meet them . Although he had become a Supremacy, restoring the Herb Nurturing Array was not something that could be done in a day or two . He still needed to spend plenty of time to complete the Fate Changing Pill .

Yi Yun still remembered the path towards the Herb Nurturing Array so he walked towards it with the Celestial Silkworm .

The Celestial Silkworm hid in Yi Yun's sleeve and curiously peeked out its tiny head to study its surroundings . The Nine Li Magus Empire's palace was silent and they did not encounter anyone at all . The hex imprints left the Celestial Silkworm apprehensive and the way it hesitantly peeked its head out amused Yi Yun .

Soon, Yi Yun came to the Herb Nurturing Array . He did not see a single person on the vast desolate lands . Odd . There were more than ten thousand alchemists gathered there before .

This took Yi Yun by surprise . Where did everyone go? It had only been five years or so . Even if the alchemists failed to figure out anything, they would not waste such an opportunity . At the very least, they would not leave so soon, not to mention the stubborn old fogies like Patriarch Pillheart and Ouming Yin . They would definitely cherish every moment to study the array .

Just as Yi Yun thought to command Ling Xie'er to open the array's entrance, he frowned . He extended his arm and waved .

A blast of Yuan Qi struck the array as the spot beneath Yi Yun's feet suddenly lit up . Following that, an entrance appeared out of thin air .

"What's going on…" Yi Yun narrowed his eyes . How could the Herb Nurturing Array be that easily opened? A simple probe at the entrance made him immediately discover that there were changes made to the array .

Could it be that Patriarch Pillheart and company had tampered with the array?

However, Yi Yun immediately rejected such a possibility . The divine alchemist's array was not so easily tampered with . Yi Yun once thought that as an alchemist sage, Patriarch Pillheart could enter the array's interior if he spent a considerable amount of time seeking out the entrance . However, changing the array would be too difficult .

Furthermore, Yi Yun had instructed Ling Xie'er to watch over the array before he left . She should have prohibited the others were from entering…

"Xie'er!" Yi Yun strode into the Herb Nurturing Array .

Yi Yun's expression changed slightly when he entered the Herb Nurturing Array .

The place was originally filled with rich fire-elemental laws but now, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was in chaos . The fire-elemental laws turned extremely violent and there were burning flames everywhere . Lava streams were everywhere, burning the array's grounds red .

"What's going on…"

Yi Yun's brows turned increasingly knitted . "Xie'er, where are you?"

Yi Yun called out . About eight minutes later, a blurry figure appeared in front of Yi Yun .

The moment the figure appeared, it pounced into Yi Yun's embrace, "Brother Yi Yun!"

"Xie'er!" Yi Yun immediately pulled Xie'er away and noticed that she had turned a lot weaker!

Although Xie'er looked unharmed aside from being weakened, Yi Yun felt secretly enraged . "Xie'er, what's going on? Why are you this weak?"

Ling Xie'er lifted her head from Yi Yun's embrace . Her eyes were filled with guilt . "I do not know either… In the beginning, I followed your instructions to keep the baddies outside . They couldn't even figure out the entrance . But three years ago, the array suddenly became unstable for no good reason…"

"Due to the array's instability, I had to fight to constantly maintain the array's stability . But the longer it took, the more demanding it became . It resulted in me expending a lot of my strength…"

"Now, my control over the array is very weak so I'm in this state . "

When Ling Xie'er said this, she felt guilt-ridden . Yi Yun had left her an important task but she had failed to do it well .

Yi Yun was taken aback . He never expected any unforeseen circumstances from the array . What exactly happened?

"Xie'er, don't be sad . You have already done very well . It was my fault for being thoughtless . " Yi Yun tenderly stroked Xie'er's head and lamented . According to Xie'er, it had been three years . During this period, she was constantly working hard at maintaining the array's stability . She had already expended a lot of energy and Yi Yun blamed himself for it .

Ling Xie'er shook her head . "It's all my fault . Due to the array's instability, those people found the entrance . In addition, I was preoccupied and couldn't stop them . After they entered, they did not listen to my advice and even mocked me . Later on, more and more people entered…"

Yi Yun was taken aback when he heard that . He made the connection with the empty desolate plains outside . He was completely astounded . "Did everyone enter?"

Ling Xie'er nodded .

"What… How could this happen? Didn't Aged Blackrock and Her Highness stop those people?" Yi Yun found it unbelievable . The Herb Nurturing Array was an important place . Even if the alchemists could not destroy it, Aged Blackrock would not have allowed the riffraff to enter .

Logically speaking, he would, at most, permit Ouming Yin and Patriarch Pillheart entry .
