Chapter 1053: Golden Divine Soul!

Ao Qian had been suppressed for twenty thousand years, and his martial foundation had been mostly destroyed.

It was already a miracle that he could barely maintain his cultivation at the Divine King realm.

How easy is it to restore him to his peak state?

Ye Yuan saw the unwillingness in Ao Qian's heart and said with a smile, "A Xuan-grade pill is not something just anyone can refine. With my current strength, refining a hundred-thousand-year-old spiritual herb is already my limit. Once I break through to the middle stage of the Daoxuan realm, I should be able to refine five-hundred-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs."

Hearing this, Ao Qian could not help but exclaim in surprise, "Then... then Ao Qian thanks you, sir!"

Ye Yuan waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me too early. For you to truly restore your peak strength, you need a five-hundred-thousand-year-old Zhuyan Aoxin Fruit, a five-hundred-thousand-year-old Kongyou Tianlan, and a Tongling Blood Ginseng. You know how difficult things from the five-hundred-thousand-year-old region are."

Hearing this, Ao Qian's expression changed involuntarily.

The spiritual medicines in the fifty-thousand-year region were far more dangerous than those in the current area. Even at his peak, he wouldn't dare claim he could emerge unscathed.

The ten-thousand-year region was manageable, but deeper in, there would be medicine spirits—spiritual medicines that had cultivated into sentient beings. Not only were they highly aggressive, but their strength rivaled that of Void Profound Realm experts.

One or two medicine spirits would be manageable, but if he encountered a large group, even Ao Qian would be trapped inside.

"My lord, this..." Ao Qian looked troubled.

To be honest, since pledging allegiance to Ye Yuan, Jiang Taicang and the other two had made few contributions but had received tremendous benefits.

The spiritual medicines Ao Qian needed were extremely rare, so the danger level would increase geometrically.

Having Ye Yuan take risks for him again—he really felt too embarrassed to ask.

Ye Yuan laughed: "Don't worry, the fifty-thousand-year region is off-limits to others, but it can't stop me, Ye Yuan. It's your good fortune that this Spirit-Connecting Blood Ginseng is an extremely rare item, not even necessarily found in this Eternal Medicine Garden. But as it happens, I obtained one before!"

Ao Qian was overjoyed upon hearing this.

"Milord, as long as Ao Qian can recover his strength, this old life is yours from now on! Not to mention a thousand years, even ten thousand years, this old man won't bat an eye!" Ao Qian said.

Ye Yuan laughed upon hearing this: "Cut it out! You're already ancient; if you can't break through to the Divine Realm, you probably won't even live past three thousand years, let alone ten thousand!"

Ao Qian's old face flushed red with embarrassment.

Although he had swallowed such a heaven-defying item as the Crane Essence, his lifespan was ultimately limited. Only by breaking through to the Divine Realm could he extend his life.

Otherwise, even if Ye Yuan continued to refine pills for him, it would be of no use.

...

After collecting the Heart-Severing Grass, Ye Yuan found a safe place and began to go into seclusion to refine the Zixu Enlightenment Pill!

The Zixu Enlightenment Pill was a true super ninth-grade pill, capable of helping Void Profound Realm experts consolidate their foundation, repair their martial foundation, and was incredibly heaven-defying.

So-called Profound-grade pills, also known as super ninth-grade pills, were countless times more difficult to refine than top ninth-grade pills and were specifically used by Void Profound Realm experts.

Since the decline of the Divine Path, people could no longer break through the shackles, so they exhausted various methods to overcome the limits of the Divine King Realm.

Thus, the Void Profound Realm emerged in response, and correspondingly, Profound-grade pills were discovered by alchemists.

Being able to refine Profound-grade pills was the hallmark of becoming a pinnacle Alchemy Emperor!

However, this step stumped countless alchemists!

Throughout the Divine Domain, Void Profound experts were very scarce, and the number of pinnacle Alchemy Emperors was even rarer than that of Void Profound experts.

From this, it can be seen how difficult it is to become a peak alchemy emperor.

Apart from Ye Yuan, the peak alchemy emperors in the divine domain were all old antiques who had been famous for a long time and would not act lightly.

These people were not only extremely powerful in the way of alchemy, but their own strength was also terrifying.

After Ye Yuan had spent three hundred years as a peak alchemy emperor, his alchemy strength had surpassed many famous old antiques, such as Quan Xingzi.

In terms of alchemy strength, even old monsters like Old Man Han might not be stronger than Ye Yuan.

More importantly, now that Ye Yuan had comprehended the laws of the divine path, he had completely surpassed these old fellows in the art of alchemy!

Ye Yuan was certain that as long as his strength returned to its peak, he could absolutely refine semi-divine pills, or even divine pills, just like his father Ji Zhengyang.

However, before refining the Zixu Enlightenment Divine Pill, Ye Yuan still had one thing to do: break through his soul realm to the late-stage alchemy emperor.

With a thought from Ye Yuan, a part of the golden characters obediently circulated within his soul.

Ye Yuan closed his eyes, carefully sensing the fluctuations of the divine path laws.

To understand these divine inscriptions, the hardest part was getting started.

It was like an obscure language; without mastering its internal rules, it was impossible to learn.

With Ye Yuan's talent, even before breaking through to the Dao Xuan realm, he could not fathom the divine inscriptions of the Medicine Soul Divine Canon.

But ever since he had last triggered the divine inscriptions and experienced the mystery of the divine path laws, Ye Yuan had been unstoppable, gradually deepening his understanding of these divine inscriptions!

The fluctuations of these divine path laws immersed Ye Yuan in ecstasy.

Though the time was short, Ye Yuan's soul realm had gradually approached that of a high-level alchemy emperor.

This time, he went into seclusion with the intention of breaking through in one go!

However, just as Ye Yuan was comprehending, the Soul Suppressing Pearl suddenly trembled. Before Ye Yuan could figure out what was happening, he was pulled into the Soul Suppressing Space.

He was already very familiar with this place. But this time, the Soul Suppressing Space had neither an ocean of lightning nor the fluctuations that impacted the soul.

What came in with Ye Yuan were the divine inscriptions!

Ye Yuan discovered with delight that after entering here, the profoundly mysterious divine inscriptions had been broken down into countless fragments!

These fragments floated before Ye Yuan's eyes, making it easier for him to understand the divine inscriptions!

This discovery made Ye Yuan ecstatic!

The Soul Suppressing Space had actually decomposed the divine inscriptions into the most fundamental rules, presenting them before Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan dared not delay; he instantly entered a state of unity between heaven and man, carefully comprehending these mysterious divine path laws.

Two days later, Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes. The fluctuations of his soul were several times stronger than before!

With the help of the Soul Suppressing Pearl, he had managed to break through to the high-level alchemy emperor realm in just two days.

Looking inward at his soul, Ye Yuan almost cried out in surprise.

"This... what is going on? Why is my soul emitting a faint golden-yellow color?" Ye Yuan asked in astonishment.

At this moment, Ye Yuan's soul appeared faintly golden-yellow. Though very dim, it still bestowed upon Ye Yuan a kind of halo, making it look extremely sacred.

This discovery left Ye Yuan extremely astonished.
