Chapter 2299: The Boiling Cloud Summer Mountain!

"How can this sub-sage be so strong?"

"Late Ancestral Realm, and he crushed him completely! At such a young age, has the sub-sage already reached the late Ancestral Realm peak?"

"What comes next is the real highlight! Senior Brother Yun Suifeng is a peak Ancestral Realm Great Perfection powerhouse, the true pinnacle! If he wins, even if the sub-sage loses, no one will dare say a word!"

…

Leaving the dejected Second Senior Brother behind, Ye Yuan continued forward.

This time, he would face the true pinnacle existence, Yun Suifeng!

Ancestral Realm Great Perfection was the limit ordinary alchemists could reach.

Without extraordinary fortune, comprehending the Dao Pill was nearly impossible.

The chief disciples of various patriarchs had followed their masters for countless years, and most remained stuck at this realm.

For a powerhouse like the Holy Ancestor High Priest, his top three disciples were all at Ancestral Realm Great Perfection!

But not a single one had comprehended the Dao Pill.

The human race had many strong alchemists, and the Dao of alchemy flourished; there were quite a few Ancestral Realm Great Perfection alchemists.

Yet among them, those who could take that final step were few and far between.

If not for the Medicine Ancestor's summons this time, these patriarchs would never have emerged.

The alchemy powerhouses who followed were inexplicably excited.

Where could one see such a pinnacle duel at ordinary times?

This Myriad Domain Alchemy Conference was originally held for the younger generation.

No one had expected a pinnacle duel at Ancestral Realm Great Perfection!

Yun Suifeng looked at Ye Yuan and said calmly, "To have come this far at such a young age is truly astonishing. I admire you deeply!"

At this moment, Yun Suifeng was not merely a disciple of Maple Forest Patriarch, but a grandmaster!

He had seen Ye Yuan's strength.

But he would not waver in his conviction because of Ye Yuan's power.

Having reached such a realm, he had long cultivated an extremely strong confidence that no one could shake.

With the patriarchs absent, he stood at the pinnacle of the world!

As for Ye Yuan having comprehended the Dao Pill, he never even considered it.

Because that was impossible.

In his own day, was he not also astonishingly talented?

Even if he could not match Ye Yuan now, he was not far behind.

Yet after countless eons, he still could not take that step.

Ye Yuan might be gifted, but for the next hundred thousand, million, ten million, even a hundred million years, he would be stuck at this step!

"Same rules: you're the junior, you choose the pill," Ye Yuan glanced at him and said indifferently.

Everyone else looked strange; Ye Yuan, so young, putting on an air of seniority seemed somewhat incongruous.

But his words were solid, and no one could find fault with them.

Yun Suifeng's composure was far better than his junior brothers'.

He did not get angry but smiled faintly, "Let's stop here. Coming this far before me is enough to prove your title as sub-sage. Withdraw now, and I'll pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, this defeat will affect your Dao heart."

"Tsk, a master is a master—such extraordinary bearing!"

"Yun Suifeng's strength is no less than that of the Sacrificial Priest Hall's Grand Priest Mao Yuan!"

"He stands at the pinnacle of alchemy; with the patriarchs absent, who can contend with him? The sub-sage would be wise to retreat."

…

Yun Suifeng's actions immediately drew much admiration.

This was the demeanor of a true expert!

Ye Yuan glanced at him and chuckled, "You are indeed old fellows who have lived for eons, but in the Dao of alchemy, mastery makes the teacher! You don't regard me as a sub-sage—fine! Then I'll fight until you submit!"

From Zhu Tianxiang to Yun Suifeng, including many present, they believed he had earned the title of sub-sage only through the prestige of the Holy Ancestor High Priest.

Thus, they dared to be presumptuous, setting traps for Emperor Zhengming and colluding together.

Since that was the case, he would fight until they submitted!

He would not explain, because words were pale.

If he said he could refine the Dao Pill, no one would believe him.

So be it—he would face the patriarchs and converse with beings at the patriarch level!

Yun Suifeng clearly did not take it seriously and smiled, "Very well, then the sub-sage shall choose the pill."

Ye Yuan shook his head and insisted, "You are the junior; you choose! Otherwise, my victory would be unworthy."

Everyone looked baffled.

Yun Suifeng shook his head with a smile, "Very well, I'll choose the Southern Dipper Ancient Spirit Pill."

Hiss…

The crowd drew in a cold breath; the Southern Dipper Ancient Spirit Pill was the most difficult among the eighth-tier divine pills.

Was Yun Suifeng's strength already at such a level?

Ye Yuan stood with his hands behind his back and nodded lightly, "Good, Mu Tiesheng!"

Mu Tiesheng was completely dazed; he didn't know how he walked over.

Throughout this journey, he had been floating on cloud nine!

The pills grew increasingly difficult, yet the quality only improved!

Today, a pie had truly fallen from the sky!

In his heart now, he was endlessly grateful to Wan Tianren's ancestors for eighteen generations.

If not for that fellow trying to step on Ye Yuan to rise, he wouldn't have gotten such a huge bargain!

Having spent ten billion top-grade divine origin stones, he had bought a set of spiritual herbs from Yun Suifeng.

"Begin," Ye Yuan said indifferently.

Yun Suifeng did not argue; with a faint smile, he started alchemy.

The moment he made his move, the wind and clouds stirred!

An aura of the Dao suddenly descended upon Cloud Summer Mountain.

In an instant, on Cloud Summer Mountain, conditions arose and ceased, flowers bloomed and withered!

It was as if a world was slowly taking shape within the cauldron.

Compared to Yun Suifeng's alchemy, his junior brothers were nothing.

Many had witnessed Zhu Tianxiang and the others' alchemy, and they had been utterly amazed, thinking them divine.

But now, they realized how insignificant and ignorant they were!

So the Dao of alchemy could reach such a realm!

Not to mention Zhu Tianxiang, even Maple Forest Patriarch's second disciple was a mere novice compared to Yun Suifeng!

Yun Suifeng's strength was the strength of accumulated years, an invincible strength.

With the patriarchs absent, no one could reach such heights.

Many cast pitying glances at Ye Yuan; this time, the sub-sage had finally hit a wall!

Even if Ye Yuan's realm had reached Ancestral Realm Great Perfection, he could not surpass Yun Suifeng.

This kind of tempered strength was simply invincible.

Unless one reached the legendary Dao Pill level, victory was impossible.

Ye Yuan's eyes flickered as he stared unblinkingly at Yun Suifeng.

Indeed, compared to his junior brothers, this Yun Suifeng was far stronger.

From Yun Suifeng's refining, Ye Yuan learned many things.

He never underestimated an opponent because they were weak; if there was something good, he would learn without hesitation.

Thus, time passed quietly.

A few days later, the Southern Dipper Ancient Spirit Pill was complete!

Yun Suifeng still wore a faint smile, calmly opening the furnace.

In an instant, Cloud Summer Mountain boiled over!
