Fifty to sixty million years was a rather long time. The High Priest had lived for fifty to sixty million years through his own abilities. Compared to Patriarch Pillheart, who had barely lived for ten million years through medicine and slumber in Blood Jade, it was obvious who was superior. How long one could live was a symbol of one's strength.
It was unknown how long Old Snake had lived …
Yi Yun suddenly had this thought. However, if Old Snake was a Godly Monarch … Yi Yun found it odd just from the thought. Regardless, he refused to believe it.
"Young Master Yi, why are you suddenly asking about the White Lunar Divine Empire?" asked Nine Li Magus Maiden.
"Because I wish to make a trip there," said Yi Yun truthfully.
Nine Li Magus Maiden was alarmed when she heard that. "Young Master Yi, you wish to go to the White Lunar Divine Empire?"
"Yes."
Nine Li Magus Maiden was about to say something, but she did not say another word when she saw Yi Yun's firm attitude.
She only said, "The White Lunar Divine Empire is too large. Other than the Godly Monarch White Lunar Goddess Empress, the White Lunar Divine Empire has three Imperial Preceptors, seven Desolate Empresses, and twelve High Officials. These twenty-two people are the cream of the crop at the Divine Lord realm."
"My master, the High Priest, once fought with the White Lunar Divine Empire's Alkaid Imperial Preceptor. He did not gain the upper hand. As for Grand Elder Blackrock, his strength is slightly inferior to the High Priest's. He is probably no match for the White Lunar Divine Empire's three Imperial Preceptors."
"Yes …"
Yi Yun nodded. Through Nine Li Magus Maiden's description, Yi Yun gained a certain understanding of the White Lunar Divine Empire's strength. After all, the White Lunar Divine Empire only had one Godly Monarch, Bai Yueyin. The other experts were all Divine Lords.
However, despite all being Divine Lords, the difference between them was huge.
The weakest were the low-level Divine Lords that could not fuse with Divine Lord Royal Seals. These Divine Lords would be stuck at this realm for the rest of their lives. It was very difficult for them to advance any further.
As for Divine Lords that had fused with Divine Lord Royal Seals, their strength differed greatly according to the strength and number of Royal Seals they fused with.
For instance, Felicitous Rain Lord and Azure Yang Lord had fused with Divine Lord Royal Seals. They were no trifling matter. As for Myriad God Patriarch, he had fused more than one Divine Lord Royal Seals.
With this in mind, Yi Yun took a deep breath. If he went to the White Lunar Divine Empire, he would come into contact with a wider world. He would also meet powerful Divine Lords.
The difference was that in the past, a Divine Lord was out of reach for Yi Yun.
And now, Yi Yun had broken through to the Supremacy realm. He was only one realm away from the Divine Lord realm. And in terms of strength, Yi Yun was already on the brink of becoming a Divine Lord.
Yi Yun had only cultivated for slightly more than two hundred years. Typical geniuses of large sects, such as Myriad God Ridge's Cang Wu, were already very impressive for becoming a Supremacy around the age of a thousand. But compared to Yi Yun, they were far inferior.
Furthermore, Yi Yun had consumed the River of Forgetfulness's water, making his actual age even younger. He could be considered a rare genius in the Sinkhole in a hundred million years. As long as he did not perish in the future, he had a chance of becoming a Godly Monarch.
"Young Master Yi, are you determined to leave?" asked Nine Li Magus Maiden. She was somewhat unwilling to see an expert like Yi Yun leave.
"Yes, the Herb Nurturing Array has been stabilized. Back when I failed to break through to the Supremacy realm, I had underestimated its difficulty. Now that I'm looking at this array again, I'm afraid that without sufficient time and the support of my cultivation level, it will still be very difficult to complete it. Once I have sufficient confidence, I will definitely return to the Nine Li Magus Empire and complete the array."
If Yi Yun were to insist on completing the Herb Nurturing Array, it would take a very long time. Ignoring the delay in Yi Yun's cultivation, the crux of the issue was that he did not have a hundred percent chance of success.
He planned on traveling outside and raising his strength before completing the array. That way, he would be able to achieve twice the results with half the effort.
"Alright then. I wonder if Young Master Yi can accompany me to meet the High Priest?"
Nine Li Magus Maiden actually felt a little apologetic towards the High Priest's actions even though she knew that the High Priest was doing it out of consideration for her and the Nine Li Magus Empire.
"Of course, I will also be bidding farewell to Senior Blackrock and the High Priest," said Yi Yun with a nod.
Although he did not have a good impression of the High Priest, he did not have any ill will towards him either.
He had been trapped in the array for so many years. Now that he was out, the High Priest would definitely want to meet him.
…
The Nine Li Magus Empire's royal palace was extremely silent. As for the High Priest, he lived in an altar tower that towered deep in the royal palace.
The altar tower had nine floors and nine sides. It was covered in ancient runes that effused a heavy and oppressive might.
Yi Yun even sensed that the altar tower was probably not limited to what he could see on the ground. There was probably a massive space beneath the tower and a powerful array formation.
The Nine Li Magus Empire was mysterious to begin with. Furthermore, this was an important place in the royal palace. It was not surprising that there were mysteries hidden everywhere.
"Young Master Yi, please enter." Just as they arrived in front of the altar tower, an elderly voice sounded from inside.
Apart from the High Priest, there were quite a number of people in the tower's grand hall. They had rushed over after hearing the news.
Among them, Yi Yun saw an old acquaintance, Aged Blackrock.
As for the others, although they were unfamiliar faces, they were naturally of high standing in the Nine Li Magus Empire for them to appear there.
Upon seeing Yi Yun, a few of them had a slight change in expression. They had never seen Yi Yun before and had only heard of what he had done. They never expected him to be so young.
At that moment, the High Priest said, "My young friend, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Nine Li Magus Empire."
Yi Yun shook his head and said, "The loss of control of the Herb Nurturing Array was a result of me swapping the fire seed. My help this time only prevented the disaster of disturbing the array. My merits offset my faults."
Upon hearing that Yi Yun did not claim credit for himself, the High Priest smiled. "My young friend, Yi Yun, you are being too humble. Although I'm a layman when it comes to alchemy, I can tell that the Herb Nurturing Array has undergone a metamorphosis compared to the past. It's one step closer to completion. I don't have anything important to discuss with you. I just have a few things to give to my young friend, Yi Yun. "
As the High Priest spoke, he waved his hand gently. Behind him, a maidservant presented a tray. On the tray was an interspatial ring.
Yi Yun pondered for a moment as he probed the ring with his perception. There was a tiny jar of black liquid in the ring. The liquid was bottomless, as though it led to another world.
Yi Yun recognized at a glance that the black liquid was water from the River of Forgetfulness. The High Priest had given him so much water from the River of Forgetfulness!
Yi Yun was naturally tempted by the River of Forgetfulness's water.
Apart from the River of Forgetfulness's water, Yi Yun also saw a tiny cave abode in the interspatial ring. When he probed it with his perception, he discovered that it was a herbal garden.
A mobile herbal garden?
Yi Yun's heart stirred. For alchemists, many herbs were inconvenient to nurture and store. It would be best if they had a mobile herbal garden.
