"Top guest Elder?" Yi Yun smiled. "Senior Divineheart, you sure think highly of me."
Removing Yi Yun's original contract was not considered benevolent. Now that Yi Yun had demonstrated his strength, the contract's restrictions on him were minimal. All he needed to do was hand over enough crude ores for a hundred years.
Although he had a good impression of Elder Divineheart, he had just arrived in the Chaos Heavens. There was no need for him to really join the Taixia Ancient Mining.
Divineheart could tell that Yi Yun had no intention of joining.
A peerless genius had limitless possibilities in the future.
As for the Taixia, it was not considered a top faction in the Chaos Heavens. There were no benefits that Yi Yun could not reject by staying in the Taixia.
Instead, when Yi Yun fully matured in the future, the benefits the Taixia would receive from Yi Yun were foreseeable.
"What a pity. I was blind."
Steward Zhou felt depressed. After seeing Yi Yun and Lin Xintong appear together, Steward Zhou knew what an opportunity he had missed.
Previously, Yi Yun had clearly been hiding his strength because he was heavily injured.
If he had lent Yi Yun a helping hand and made Yi Yun owe him a favor, Yi Yun might have agreed to become a guest Elder. That would have been a meritorious deed for him.
"Brother Yi … I know the Taixia Ancient Mining isn't very attractive to you." Divineheart went straight to the point. "However … you should be interested in the Heavenly Dao fragment, right?"
The Taixia Ancient Mining obviously wanted the Heavenly Dao fragment, but with Divineheart and these Taixia disciples, the chances of them snatching it from a horde of ferocious enemies was less than ten percent.
"Heavenly Dao fragment …" Yi Yun pondered. The next moment, his psyche energy entered his soul sea and condensed into a projection in front of Bai Yueyin.
"What are the exact uses of the Heavenly Dao fragment?" Yi Yun asked Bai Yueyin.
"It's used for gaining insights," Bai Yueyin said simply without even looking at Yi Yun.
"Just gaining insights?" Yi Yun shook his head. Although gaining insights was impressive, what he lacked at the moment was not laws.
"It's not just that. The various races likely have other reasons for vying for the Heavenly Dao fragment. However, I'm not completely sure."
Yi Yun stroked his chin and said, "The Celestial experts are likely vying for the Heavenly Dao fragment to devour it to strengthen themselves, right? Can't human martial artists do the same? "
Bai Yueyin said, "To Celestial experts, their bodies are too powerful, allowing them to forcefully fuse with the Heavenly Dao fragment. Even so, the process is extremely perilous. If it were humans, they would likely explode. It's very difficult for humans to fuse with the Heavenly Dao with their bodies of flesh and blood."
"In my body … is the blood of the Dragon Monarch, which comes from the bloodline of the twelve Fey Gods …"
When Yi Yun said that, Bai Yueyin paused for a moment. She looked up at Yi Yun and said, "The Fey in the Chaos Heavens also have peerless Godly Monarchs who have inherited the bloodlines of powerful ancient Fey. Some of them have bloodlines in no way weaker than yours. Their bodies far exceed yours."
"But the demons' nomological insights are lacking."
Yi Yun said after some thought. To fuse with the Heavenly Dao fragment, he obviously needed to be well-versed in nomological forces.
If a martial artist's comprehension of laws could compare to the Heavenly Dao to a certain extent, then they could restrain the power of the Heavenly Dao.
It was unrealistic to restrain him completely, but it was not impossible to reduce the impact of the Heavenly Dao that his body had to endure by seventy to eighty percent.
Bai Yueyin was taken aback when Yi Yun said that.
Bai Yueyin had never thought too deeply about the Celestials being able to fuse with the Heavenly Dao fragment.
From the looks of it, other than their powerful bodies, the Celestials also relied on their nomological insights. Their bodies were innately compatible with the laws.
Apart from the Celestials, the other races had their shortcomings. Humans were lacking in their bodies, while the Fey were lacking in laws. The Souls and Ghosts were even worse in this aspect.
If a human could truly strengthen his laws and body simultaneously, perhaps … he could emulate the Celestials and devour the Heavenly Dao fragment?
However, Bai Yueyin still shook her head and said, "It's unlikely any humans have attempted it up to now. Once they fail, they will die."
No one had attempted it not only because of the limitations of their strength, but also because … there were just too few Heavenly Dao fragments. Apart from the peerless Celestial experts, no one else had a chance.
The number of Heavenly Dao fragments in the Celestials could be counted on one hand.
The appearance of the Heavenly Dao fragment was mainly because it happened in the Xuanyuan Dune. This news had been jointly suppressed by the factions that controlled the Xuanyuan Dune. If not, such a treasure that shook the Chaos Heavens would not have been in the hands of second-rate factions.
This included the Celestial expert. His strength was not strong among the Celestials, so logically speaking, he should have reported the existence of the Heavenly Dao fragment. But now, he was clearly planning on taking it for himself.
Bai Yueyin said, "Even if you have the intention of devouring the Heavenly Dao fragment, it's best you do it after the Godly Monarch realm. Celestial experts have to reach the Godly Monarch realm to devour the fragment."
Yi Yun said with a smile, "You are speaking too early. With my strength, it won't be easy for me to obtain the Heavenly Dao fragment. Even if it was left behind by the Dao Originator Celestial Thearch, I need to be alive to protect it."
Yi Yun's combat strength was just too weak against several Godly Monarchs at the same time.
However, even if he could not obtain the Heavenly Dao fragment, Yi Yun still wanted to seek a way to fuse with the Heavenly Dao fragment. This was because he was destined to be enemies with the Celestials in the future. No matter how few Heavenly Dao fragments there were, it was still possible for him to obtain one.
Yi Yun looked at Elder Divineheart and asked, "I'm indeed interested in the Heavenly Dao fragment. Senior Divineheart, what would you like to say?"
Divineheart smiled and said, "As long as you are willing to become a guest Elder of my Taixia, I can make the decision to give you a third of the time you need to study the Heavenly Dao fragment if you obtain it."
Studying the Heavenly Dao fragment would expend the nomological powers within. There were so many people in the Taixia Ancient Mining, and there were two Grand Elders at the Godly Monarch realm. With Yi Yun taking a third of it, the amount of time he could study it might even be longer than the Grand Elders. Divineheart was already putting in a lot of effort to make such a promise.
Of course, the premise was that the Heavenly Dao fragment was in his hands. Otherwise, it was all empty talk.
Divineheart naturally knew this as well. He said, "The chances of me obtaining the Heavenly Dao fragment alone are very slim. If you were to join me, there might be a ten to twenty percent chance. If you succeed, you can choose to become a guest Elder of my Taixia. If you fail, there is nothing in my Taixia that can attract you. Then, I'll nullify the hundred-year contract. You are free to go. I only hope that we can still be considered friends when we meet again in the future. "
Divineheart's conditions were a form of sincerity. No matter how he looked at it, it was beneficial to Yi Yun.
After a moment of thought, Yi Yun said, "What if I obtain the Heavenly Dao fragment by myself?"
Divineheart looked at Yi Yun in astonishment. He never expected Yi Yun to say something like that.
As a Godly Monarch, he did not even have the confidence. No matter how strong Yi Yun was, he was still far from being a Godly Monarch. Ignoring the numerous experts and Godly Monarchs of the Ghost, Fey, and Soul race, there was also a Celestial expert from the Myriad Demon Valley. He was even more terrifying.
Under such circumstances, it would be pretty good if he could survive. Yet, Yi Yun wanted to snatch food from the tiger's mouth by himself?
Wasn't he being too conceited?
Divineheart appreciated geniuses, but it was not a good thing to bite off more than one could chew. If Yi Yun overestimated himself, he would easily suffer on his future martial path. He might even perish.
He frowned but said, "If you obtain the Heavenly Dao fragment by yourself, the Heavenly Dao fragment will naturally belong to you. It will have nothing to do with my Taixia."
"That's fine."
Yi Yun agreed. He was lacking in strength and had offended many people. If he were to truly encounter other Godly Monarchs, they would probably kill him immediately. It would not be easy for him to approach the sealed land, much less snatch the Heavenly Dao fragment.
By cooperating with Divineheart, he could at least gain a foothold.
