After an unknown period of time, Yi Yun slowly woke up. He opened his eyes and felt that his body was sticky.
The Blood Yang Elixir's energy was too strong for a Purple Blood realm warrior. Back when the Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord gave the Blood Yang Elixir to Yi Yun, he wanted Yi Yun to dissolve it in water and slowly consume it.
However, Yi Yun swallowed it in one mouthful.
"I actually fainted. It looks like I really exceeded the limits of my Dantian …" Yi Yun took a few deep breaths and slowly calmed his mind. He looked into his Dantian and was stunned by what he saw.
He was surprised to find that the Yuan Qi in his Dantian had completely solidified.
This was the symbol of the Yuan foundation realm!
Yuan foundation, he had finally broken through to the Yuan foundation realm.
Yi Yun was overjoyed. It had been nearly two years since he began practicing martial arts.
The Mortal Blood realm was not considered martial arts.
The Purple Blood realm was just the beginning of martial arts. It was the transition from a mortal to a warrior.
But now, the Yuan foundation realm was the real beginning. It was to lay a solid foundation for his future martial arts.
Slowly clenching his fists, Yi Yun felt his body filled with energy.
This was the power brought about by a deep cultivation level. As such, he would no longer be completely drained of energy after using the Golden Crow species totem once. He would no longer be unable to fight.
After breaking through to the Yuan foundation realm, Yi Yun still felt a burning pain in his body from time to time. There was still a lot of energy left from the Blood Yang Elixir. It still filled his blood vessels and there was a possibility of it exploding again.
Yi Yun pondered for a moment and decided to use this energy to cultivate his cultivation technique.
And now, Yi Yun had the complete set of the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' in his hands.
This was the best opportunity to cultivate the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique'.
Yi Yun took out the Divine Ebony box. In the wooden box, there were nine jade scrolls lined up. These were the nine jade scrolls that many elites in the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom dreamed of. Even the members of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom's royal family had to be extremely talented. They had the qualifications to become a King or even a Divine Emperor in the future. Only then were they qualified to cultivate the complete set of the nine original jade scrolls.
Yi Yun picked up the first of the nine jade scrolls. This was the first volume of the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique'.
Actually, Yi Yun had already mastered the first level of the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique', but what Yi Yun cultivated was not the original version, but a copy made by a Tai Ah Divine Kingdom sage who had great achievements in the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique'.
There would always be minute differences between a replica and the original. Under normal circumstances, such differences would not affect the original. However, Yi Yun still wanted to read through the original version once. He wanted to find the minute differences in the Origins cultivation technique, so as to correct any unknown mistakes that might exist. He wanted to find more inspiration.
After receiving the jade slip, Yi Yun sank his perception into it. Yi Yun was shocked when he saw it.
With the Purple Crystal in his body, Yi Yun was extremely sensitive to energy control. He was surprised to discover that in his energy vision, every word and every rune in the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' jade scroll contained traces of energy.
Perhaps because of the long passage of time, these energy traces had become very weak, but they still existed. But in the copy of the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique', there were no traces of these energies.
"It looks like the person who created the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique' was far beyond the realm of a sage. Indeed, if it was a cultivation technique created by a sage, how could it become the foundation of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom?"
In the tens of millions of years since the founding of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom, there had been numerous sages. There was no lack of top sages, and there were even top sages like the first city lord of the Tai Ah Divine City. But no one had ever heard of a self-created cultivation technique that could match the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique'.
The past sages of the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom had only attempted to make some additions to the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique'. In fact, it was unknown if these additions had any positive effects. At the very least, at a higher level of martial arts, these additions were meaningless.
As Yi Yun read the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique', he unknowingly became immersed in it. He knew that he could only temporarily look at this cultivation technique. If he did not take this time to memorize more, he did not know when he would be able to look at it again.
Hence, even though Yi Yun did not fully understand the contents of the last few levels of the 'Tai Ah Sacred Technique', he was able to memorize them all.
Month after month, time passed silently. Yi Yun did not know how long he had been in reclusive training in the chamber.
One day, he suddenly heard a "Dang! Dang! Dang! "sound of metal clashing resounded in the sky above the Tai Ah Divine City like thunder.
Yi Yun's chamber was soundproof. With the chamber's door closed, it was almost isolated from the outside world.
Under normal circumstances, the chamber would be absolutely silent. But in the Tai Ah Divine City, there was a sound that could be transmitted directly into the chamber.
It was the Divine Wilderness Bell!
This Divine Wilderness Bell was a magical treasure. It required at least a peak-human lord cultivation level to ring it. Its sound could be transmitted for thousands of miles. Even a soundproof array could not block it.
"The Divine Wilderness Bell is ringing!?"
Yi Yun was surprised. The Divine Wilderness Bell was mainly used as a warning in the Tai Ah Divine City. Only when a great enemy invaded, threatening the safety of the Tai Ah Divine City, would the Divine Wilderness Bell be rung.
And there were very few things that could threaten the Tai Ah Divine City. A typical small scale beast horde could not even reach the Tai Ah Divine City's foundations, so there was no need to ring the Divine Wilderness Bell.
In fact, it was said that the Divine Wilderness Bell had not rung for at least a thousand years.
Could it be …
Yi Yun's heart was shrouded in a dark cloud. He rushed out of his residence and saw Luo Huo 'er running out of her house.
"Miss, what happened?" Dong 'er covered her tiny ears and asked in a fluster.
Outside the house, the Divine Wilderness Bell's sound was even more deafening. If one's cultivation level was insufficient, they would feel as if their organs were resonating with the bell's sound. It was quite uncomfortable.
"This must be the Divine Wilderness Bell …" Luo Huo 'er was not worried. It was her first time hearing the bell's sound, so she found it interesting.
"Yi Yun! Come to the city gate! "
At this moment, a serious voice rang in Yi Yun's ears. This voice belonged to the Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord!
Yi Yun glanced at Luo Huo 'er. From her expression, it was obvious that she had received the same voice transmission.
"Let's go!"
Yi Yun pushed open the central divine tower's outer door and ran down the tower's sloping emergency staircase.
…
When Yi Yun rushed down the central divine tower, he realized that the Tai Ah Divine City was completely different from the few months he had been in reclusive training.
The Divine City's four walls had lit up with defensive arrays. Piles of bone relics were stored in large metal boxes, which were used as the array's energy source.
These were the strategic resources that the Tai Ah Divine Kingdom had in reserve. They could be used in times of need.
Around the city walls, there were several ballistae installed. Amongst these ballistae, there was the legendary Primal Divine Crossbow.
The Primal Divine Crossbow was powered by a large array. More than ten human lords had to combine forces to control one Primal Divine Crossbow. The crossbow arrows it used were the Primal Arrows that Yi Yun had seen when he first came to the Tai Ah Divine City.
It was four meters long and each arrow was made of a special metal. It was expensive to manufacture and weighed a million pounds.
Back then, Yi Yun and the other recruits had used the Primal Arrows to stab into the purple tungsten wall, but they all failed. Even Yi Yun had failed on his first attempt. Although he had lifted the Primal Arrow, he could not stab it in firmly. When he let go, the arrow fell to the ground.
Because of these experiences, Yi Yun's memory of this terrifying weapon was still fresh.
This was a weapon that could threaten primordial species. Together with the human lords and sages in the city, as well as the support from the other factions, the Tai Ah Divine City's combat power was rather terrifying.
As Yi Yun proceeded forward, he realized that there were many warriors in the Tai Ah Divine City. Most of these warriors were at the human lord level. They came from the four factions and were the backbone of the various large factions.
These human lords were all dressed in armor and their weapons never left their hands.
Everyone's faces were very serious. Against the legendary Shepherd Boy, who had nearly destroyed the Shen Tu family clan, no one could relax.
From these people, Yi Yun could feel a thick atmosphere of war.
This time, it was no longer a battle in the arena, but a true life and death battle.
Only by winning could they survive.
And if they lost, they would all be destroyed!
When Yi Yun arrived at the city gates, there were already many people gathered there. The sages from the four factions were all standing on top of the city gates.
Yi Yun saw Cang Yan, Jian Ge and his quasi-master, Grandmaster Yuehua.
They nodded slightly at Yi Yun and did not speak further. Instead, they looked into the distance.
Yi Yun also saw the Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord. At this moment, he was discussing something with the Seven Star Pagoda Owner.
Yi Yun did not disturb the Tai Ah Divine City's City Lord. Instead, he walked towards the relatively leisurely Cang Yan. "Is it the Shepherd Boy?"
Cang Yan did not turn his head. He was still looking into the distant horizon.
This usually laughing old man's expression turned serious at this moment. He nodded and said, "It should be. There are sentries set up in a radius of 3000 miles around the Divine City. Just now, the scouts stationed at the sentries sent news of a large scale beast horde outbreak. After that, there was no further news. He might have died for his country … "
When Cang Yan said this, his tone turned a bit bleak.
Died for his country?
Yi Yun's heart sank. Everyone knew that being a scout was extremely dangerous. Once a beast horde broke out, the first to die would be the scouts. However, there were still people who wanted to go. This was war, there was no room for choice.
Cang Yan said, "Now, the City Lord has given the order for the scouts to return to the Tai Ah Divine City. With the speed of the beast horde, they will probably appear in another two hours …"
Two hours …?
Yi Yun looked at the horizon. Everyone in the Tai Ah Divine City had begun to move. Clearly, while he was in reclusive training, the warriors guarding the Divine City had already gone through numerous drills.
Now, although everyone was a bit flustered, they did not lose their composure.
One after another, ballistae were loaded. The large arrays on the city walls were activated. The entire Tai Ah Divine City was shrouded in a colorful mist.
