"Haha, Kid, congratulations! You have undergone a complete transformation. You can be considered quite a figure now! "
If Yi Yun's stepping into the Purple Blood realm was considered the first step on the long path of cultivation, then the Supremacy realm was already a step into the next level. It was a realm where one could achieve great things.
An Exalt Realm expert could even become an elder in those extraordinary sects and be respected by others.
As for Yi Yun, he took nearly a hundred and twenty years to go from the eighth-storey Dao Palace to the Supremacy realm.
It was not supposed to take that long, but Yi Yun's cultivation speed was just too fast. He did not have the time to temper his foundation, so he spent the past eighty years solidifying his foundation.
For cultivation, going out for experiential training and engaging in life-and-death battles was definitely a faster way to improve one's cultivation level, but seclusion to fuse with laws was also essential.
A hundred and twenty years was a long period of time that was equivalent to doubling Yi Yun's lifespan. 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 for Yi Yun over the past hundred years.
Such an opportunity left Old Snake envious. He was already advanced in age and his vital potential had long been expended. Even drinking the River of Forgetfulness's water to stop time for him was useless. He was incomparable to Yi Yun, who was at the peak of his vital potential.
Drinking the River of Forgetfulness's water at such a time allowed him to burn his vital potential for a hundred and twenty years. This left Old Snake extremely envious.
"Kid, the Nine Li Magus Empire has given you a huge opportunity. It's much more useful than any miraculous pill or natural treasure. Especially when used on you, the effects are magnified several times. At your present age and cultivation level, it's only a matter of time before you reach the Godly Monarch realm, "said Old Snake sincerely.
When he first met Yi Yun, all he did was complete Huan Chenxue's request and take care of him. But with the passage of time, he interacted with Yi Yun and saw his growth. Old Snake began to view Yi Yun as his own junior. He had no children his entire life and since he was destined to not have any miracles happen in his life, he placed all his hopes on Yi Yun. He was gratified to see Yi Yun mature into a Godly Monarch.
"Senior, I understand what you mean. This River of Forgetfulness's water is indeed a wondrous item."
"It's not just a miraculous item. This kind of effect is equivalent to giving you an extra two cycles of cultivation out of nowhere. If you keep drinking it, it'll be terrible." Old Snake sighed. He was thinking about how great it would have been if he had a few jars of the River of Forgetfulness's water to drink when he was younger.
Yi Yun said, "Senior, the River of Forgetfulness's water should have extreme effects. When I first drank it, the time flow was about thirty times faster. But when I drank it a second time, the time flow wasn't as great. I'm guessing that it will constantly weaken in the future."
"Is that so …" Old Snake was taken aback for a moment before he nodded. "That's right. If one can keep drinking it, wouldn't one be able to live forever if they find the River of Forgetfulness? That would defy the Heavenly Dao. Even the River of Forgetfulness, one of the twelve Fey Gods that controls time, would find it difficult to defy the Heavenly Dao …"
Old Snake muttered to himself. Yi Yun was deeply impressed by what he heard. Eternal life was what the divine alchemist sought back then. He wanted to use pills to achieve that realm, but he had failed.
It was rumored that when one reached the pinnacle of martial arts, they could break the shackles of eternal life. However, no one had ever achieved it since ancient times.
"I've already broken through to the Supremacy realm. It's time for me to exit seclusion," said Yi Yun.
He had received a huge favor from the Nine Li Magus Empire, so he naturally had to help the Nine Li Magus Empire refine pills as soon as possible to repay the favor.
Old Snake returned to the God Advent Tower, while Yi Yun looked around. In the empty pool, the Nine Transformations Celestial Silkworm was coiled up and sleeping soundly. However, its body was just too short. Even though it tried its best to coil up, it only managed to coil up three-quarters of the way.
As though it sensed something, the Celestial Silkworm slowly opened its eyes and looked at Yi Yun.
It clearly noticed Yi Yun's breakthrough as it widened its eyes in delight. It flew towards Yi Yun and rubbed itself against his shoulder.
After breaking through to the Supremacy realm, the Dragon Emperor bloodline in Yi Yun had turned richer. The little fellow also became closer to him.
Of course, Yi Yun believed that it was possible that the little fellow was having a great time eating the South Li Fire. That was why it was so happy after waking up.
"Follow me. Since I've promised you, I'll help you search for natural treasures in the future," said Yi Yun.
The Celestial Silkworm nodded and obediently coiled itself on Yi Yun's shoulder. It followed Yi Yun 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, with a flash, Yi Yun's figure vanished from the teleportation array.
Nine Li Magus Empire —
Yi Yun returned to the palace's teleportation array but he did not see Aged Blackrock or Nine Li Magus Maiden.
"Aged Blackrock should know that I'm back but he did not send me a voice transmission …"
Yi Yun believed that Aged Blackrock would definitely sense the commotion in the teleportation array. Now that Aged Blackrock did not send a voice transmission, Yi Yun had no way of seeking them out. After all, most places in the Nine Li Magus Empire did not permit free movement. It was not convenient for him to seek out Aged Blackrock or Nine Li Magus Maiden.
In that case, Yi Yun was in no hurry to meet them. Although he had broken through to the Supremacy realm, restoring the Herb Nurturing Array was not something that could be done overnight. He still needed a great deal of time to complete the Fate Changing Pill.
Yi Yun remembered the route to the Herb Nurturing Array very clearly. He walked towards the array with the Celestial Silkworm in tow.
The Celestial Silkworm hid in Yi Yun's sleeve as it curiously peeked its tiny head out. The Nine Li Magus Empire's palace was deserted and there was no one on the streets. Instead, the hex marks left the Celestial Silkworm apprehensive. The way it did not dare to look at them made Yi Yun secretly amused.
Soon, Yi Yun arrived in the middle of the Herb Nurturing Array. He did not see a single person in the vast desolate plains. Originally, there were more than ten thousand alchemists gathered here.
This left Yi Yun stunned. Why was everyone gone? It had only been five to six years. Even if these alchemists could not figure anything out from the array, they would not waste the opportunity. At the very least, they would not leave so early. Furthermore, old fellows like the Pillheart Patriarch and Ouming Yin would definitely cherish every moment they had to study the array.
Just as Yi Yun was about to get Ling Xie'er to open the array's entrance, he suddenly frowned and waved his hand.
A wisp of Yuan Qi was injected into the array. Immediately, beams of light lit up beneath Yi Yun's feet. Following that, an entrance appeared out of thin air.
"What's going on …" Yi Yun's gaze was heavy. How could the Herb Nurturing Array be opened so casually? The moment he arrived, he sensed it and immediately discovered that the array had changed.
Could it be that Patriarch Pillheart and company had tampered with the array?
However, Yi Yun immediately rejected such a thought. The divine alchemist's array was not that easily tampered with. Yi Yun had once thought that, as an alchemist sage, Patriarch Pillheart could easily find the entrance after spending some time to enter the array. However, it would be very difficult for him to tamper with the array.
Furthermore, before Yi Yun left, he had instructed Ling Xie'er to watch the array and prevent anyone from entering …
"Xie'er!" Yi Yun strode into the Herb Nurturing Array.
The moment he entered, Yi Yun's expression changed slightly.
The area was originally filled with rich fire-elemental laws but now, the Heaven Earth Yuan Qi was in chaos. The fire-elemental laws had become extremely violent. There were burning flames everywhere as lava flowed across the ground, burning the array's soil red.
"What's going on …"
Yi Yun's frown turned tighter. "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 arms. "Brother Yi Yun!"
"Xie'er!" Yi Yun hurriedly pulled Ling Xie'er over. He realized that she was a lot weaker!
Although Ling Xie'er was fine apart from being a little weak, it still infuriated Yi Yun. "Xie'er, what's going on? Why are you so weak?"
Ling Xie'er raised her head from Yi Yun's embrace. Her eyes were filled with self-blame. "Xie'er doesn't know either … At first, Xie'er listened to Big Brother and blocked the bad guys outside. They didn't even know where the door was. But three years ago, for some unknown reason, the array suddenly started to become unstable … "
"Due to the array's chaos, I had to constantly maintain the array's stability. However, the more time passed, the more difficult it became. Therefore, I expended quite a bit of strength …"
"Now, Xie 'er's control over the array is very weak. That's why it's like this."
When Ling Xie'er said that, she was filled with guilt. Yi Yun had entrusted her with such an important task, but she had failed to do it well.
Yi Yun was taken aback. He never expected such an unforeseen event to happen to the array. What was going on?
"Xie'er, don't be sad. You have already done very well. It was my inconsideration." Yi Yun lovingly stroked Ling Xie'er's head. He felt his heart ache for her. According to Ling Xie'er, it had been three years. For three years, she had been constantly working hard to maintain the array's stability. She had expended quite a bit of her lifeblood, leaving Yi Yun remorseful.
Ling Xie'er shook her head. "It was my fault. Due to the array's instability, those people found the array's entrance. With me having no time to care about anything else, they entered. Following that, not only did they not listen to my advice, they even mocked me. In the end, many people entered …"
Yi Yun was taken aback when he heard that. When he thought of the empty desolate lands outside, he was completely dumbfounded. "Did everyone enter?"
Ling Xie'er nodded.
"How … How did this happen? Didn't Aged Blackrock and Her Highness stop those people?" Yi Yun found it unbelievable. The Herb Nurturing Array was an extremely important place. Even if it could not be destroyed by the alchemists, Aged Blackrock would not have allowed all these random people to enter.
Logically speaking, Ouming Yin and Patriarch Pillheart would at most be allowed in.
