Chapter 1508: The Heavenly Sound of the Great Dao

For this grand event, the Blood Battle Arena did not hesitate to close its doors for half a month.

Though the loss was great, Blood Eagle simply did not care!

The battle between Ye Yuan and Kasin had already earned him three years' worth of profit; what was a mere half month?

The main arena of the Blood Battle Arena, which could hold tens of thousands, felt somewhat empty with only five thousand people seated.

This time, on the main arena, there was only Ye Yuan's solitary figure.

Yet to the crowd of alchemists, this figure appeared immensely majestic and imposing.

It was a presence they looked up to as if to a towering mountain!

Martial artists hold reverence for the strong.

Alchemists hold respect for the strong!

Respect from the depths of their hearts!

Under the gaze of the crowd, Ye Yuan slowly began to speak.

“The Dao of alchemy encompasses all things, vast and complex, seemingly tangled with countless threads. But once you find a single thread, you can unravel it layer by layer and reach the other shore.”

“The Dao of alchemy is not simply mechanical pill refinement. If you understand it as a tedious occupation, you have fallen to a lower level.”

“The Dao of alchemy is also the Great Dao! In the art of pills, the core lies in the medicine, not the pill.”

“...”

Ye Yuan's voice, melodious and far-reaching, echoed throughout the Blood Battle Arena.

The five thousand alchemists were utterly silent, listening as if intoxicated.

Having reached the realm of a Divine Pill Master, Ye Yuan's understanding of the Dao of alchemy had deepened even further.

Now he spoke unhurriedly, as if chatting about everyday matters.

Yet to the other alchemists, every word was a pearl of wisdom, containing the ultimate principles of the Great Dao.

For this lecture, Ye Yuan spoke without rest for fifteen days and nights, a full fifteen days.

For a Divine Dao powerhouse, fifteen days without sleep was nothing, but such a lecture, imbued with the essence of the Dao, was extremely draining; an ordinary person would be lucky to last five days.

Ye Yuan spoke continuously for fifteen days, a rare feat in the world.

For this lecture, Ye Yuan also sorted through all he had learned and gained since becoming a Divine Pill Master.

Now he spoke as smoothly as flowing clouds and water, without any hesitation.

Ye Yuan progressed from the shallow to the profound, and the things he spoke of grew deeper and deeper.

On the first day, everyone listened as if receiving enlightenment; many obscure points in the Dao of alchemy suddenly became clear.

On the second day, what Ye Yuan spoke became much deeper, and a small portion of the audience already felt lost in a fog.

The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...

What Ye Yuan spoke grew increasingly mysterious and profound; even three-star alchemists gradually found it somewhat challenging.

Yet not a single person left.

They knew that what Ye Yuan spoke was extremely rare; even if they could not understand a single word, it was an exceptionally valuable experience.

Ye Yuan was presenting the Dao of alchemy to them in a very simple way.

Though they only half-understood, this experience was absolutely unique.

Before, they had been faced with a thick fog, unable to see the direction clearly.

Now, Ye Yuan had parted the fog for them, allowing them to take a look ahead.

Such an opportunity was not something everyone could have!

But they did not realize that a mysterious aura was gradually spreading through the venue.

This aura grew from nothing to something, from weak to strong.

Gradually, they noticed that Ye Yuan's voice was becoming more and more distant.

Even though Ye Yuan was speaking just below the stands, his voice seemed to come from the horizon.

"This... what's going on?"

"The aura of the Dao! This is the aura of the Great Dao!"

"Heavenly sounds of the Great Dao! This must be the heavenly sounds of the Great Dao! Master Yuanye's lecture has triggered the resonance of the Great Dao! Every word he speaks now contains the 'Dao.'"

"I never thought I would witness this moment! Heavenly sounds of the Great Dao—legend says it only occurred once when the Medicine Ancestor gave a lecture!"

"Heavens! Could it be that another Medicine Ancestor is about to appear in this world? What level has Master Yuanye's alchemy realm reached?"

"Stop your nonsense and focus on listening! This kind of opportunity may only come once in a lifetime! If we can grasp even a little, it will benefit us for life!"

...

At this moment, Ye Yuan was completely immersed in the ocean of the 'Dao,' his entire being in a state of clarity.

Lecturing was a way to elevate others, but was it not also a form of self-sublimation?

Over the past half month, Ye Yuan had spoken out his understanding of the Dao word by word, which could be said to be a summary and sublimation of his own alchemy.

And so, he attained enlightenment!

The doubts and confusions of this period all merged and became coherent at this moment.

Wuchen stared at this scene in shock, murmuring, "It really is the heavenly sounds of the Great Dao! Legend has it that when the Medicine Ancestor lectured to a group of eight-star divine alchemists, the Great Dao suddenly resonated, heavenly sounds echoed, and rules descended upon him, thus establishing the Medicine Ancestor's name! Could it be that Ye Yuan has reached the same realm as him? But he is only a two-star divine alchemist!"

No one knew how much time had passed when everyone suddenly came to their senses.

Looking back at the arena, Ye Yuan was already gone.

"Master Yuanye has left!"

"Hmm? I feel... I'm about to break through!"

"Me too! Master Yuanye's lecture gave me a feeling of sudden enlightenment, and with the Dao resonance of the heavenly sounds, my bottleneck has finally loosened!"

"Master Yuanye is truly a divine being! Perhaps he really can become the second Medicine Ancestor!"

...

Those whose alchemy realms had been stagnant for years, as long as their aptitude was not too poor, all experienced a glimmer of insight this time.

Even those who did not break through saw a significant improvement in their strength.

These people could not wait to leave the Blood Combat Arena, each finding a place to go into seclusion.

In the space of the Boundary Stabilizing Stele, before the Lesser Tongtian Mountain, Ye Yuan was enveloped by endless Dao aura.

Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes, revealing a knowing smile.

Unbeknownst to him, Ye Yuan had already broken through to the Great Perfection of the Insight Heaven realm.

"I never thought that planting willows unintentionally would yield shade—a single lecture allowed me to break through my shackles. Not only did I create the Heart Healing Heavenly Pattern Pill, but I also opened the door to the third layer of the 'Chaos Tongtian True Scripture'!" Ye Yuan said with a smile.

Wuchen asked in surprise, "What realm are you in now?"

The alchemy path is ethereal and elusive; even among two-star divine alchemists, the gap in strength can be vast.

But this realm had never been clearly delineated by anyone.

Perhaps one two-star divine alchemist only knows how to refine one more type of divine pill than another.

However, Ye Yuan had clearly transcended the scope of knowing how to refine a few types of divine pills, which was why Wuchen asked this question.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This... I can't say for sure. But I think that second-grade divine pills should pose no difficulty for me now, right?"

Wuchen's pupils contracted, somewhat startled by Ye Yuan's words.

He knew that Ye Yuan was not one to speak carelessly, nor was he arrogant.

If he dared to say this, he must have some basis.

Saying that second-grade divine pills were no challenge—such words were probably only dared to be spoken by someone like the Medicine Ancestor, right?

"Long ago, the Medicine Ancestor, like you, triggered the heavenly sounds of the Great Dao during a lecture, and rules descended, thus achieving the Half-Ancestor realm. Could it be that you are already at the same level as the Dao Ancestor?" Wuchen exclaimed.
