Chapter 2301: Wretch, Why Don't You Roll Back Here!

The emergence of a Spirit-Connecting Divine Pill was no less significant than the appearance of a precious treasure.

Moreover, the efficacy of the Nandou Ancient Spirit Pill was for cultivation.

Taking one Spirit-Connecting Nandou Ancient Spirit Pill could almost allow a Heavenly Emperor powerhouse to ascend directly to a minor realm!

In the Heavenly Emperor realm, cultivation was measured in millions of years.

A Heavenly Emperor with slightly inferior talent might not break through a single minor realm even in tens of millions of years.

What it meant to elevate by one minor realm was easy to imagine!

Thus, the eyes of many powerhouses present had already turned red.

If the pill were with Yun Suifeng, there would naturally be no problem; he himself was a super powerhouse of the Heavenly Being realm.

It was also fine if it were with Ye Yuan.

Given Ye Yuan's status, at least in this Cloud Heart Realm, no one dared to make a move.

But in Mu Tiesheng's hands, it was like a three-year-old child clutching a pile of gold bricks and walking through a bustling market.

He was indeed strong, but there were too many experts here!

"A... Archsage, this pill... you'd better keep it yourself. I, Mu, don't have such fortune." Mu Tiesheng said with a bitter smile.

Uttering such words, he too endured immense temptation.

In truth, if he held the pill, he naturally wouldn't sell it but would consume it himself.

However, he knew he couldn't take the pill out of here.

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Put it away. Later, you'll come down the mountain with me."

Mu Tiesheng's whole body trembled, and he said ecstatically, "Thank you, Archsage! Thank you, Archsage!"

The others showed expressions of wariness, and the bloodshot in their eyes faded considerably.

The commotion here had surely already alarmed the Holy Ancestor High Priest.

If they made a move against the Archsage now, they would be slapped to death.

Such foolishness, they naturally wouldn't commit.

It was just a pity.

"Pfft!"

In the crowd, Fang Tianren, seeing Mu Tiesheng put away the Spirit-Connecting Nandou Ancient Spirit Pill, couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted directly.

Ye Yuan used action to tell him what it meant to pick up sesame seeds and lose the watermelon!

Aren't you cocky?

Aren't you arrogant?

Didn't you say the Archsage was nothing?

Fine then, let it anger you to death!

Looking at the unconscious Fang Tianren, everyone cast a pitying glance at him.

At this moment, Yun Suifeng was still in shock, long not having come to his senses.

Ye Yuan looked at him and said indifferently, "May I pass now?"

Yun Suifeng's whole body trembled, and he exclaimed, "You... how did you do it? Without a trace of source fluctuation, you actually refined a Spirit-Connecting Divine Pill!"

Ye Yuan looked at him and said calmly, "I said you were a junior, but you didn't take it seriously."

Having said that, Ye Yuan bypassed Yun Suifeng and continued up the mountain.

Mu Tiesheng, looking wary, followed like a kitten.

Yun Suifeng was utterly disheartened, muttering, "I actually lost to a mere child. Then what do all my years of effort amount to?"

"Ridiculous! Truly ridiculous! I thought I stood at the pinnacle beneath the Dao Pill, but I can't even compare to a mere child!"

"Hahaha... What pinnacle of the Dao of Alchemy! What Grand Perfection of the Ancestral Realm! I, Yun Suifeng, am nothing but a failure!"

Suddenly, Yun Suifeng seemed to go mad, his entire being in a state of frenzy.

Everyone's gaze turned to him, and they couldn't help but feel a shock.

Yun Suifeng had earlier said that Ye Yuan would lose his Dao heart, but unexpectedly, he himself had lost his Dao heart!

Yet they could understand Yun Suifeng's feelings.

A super powerhouse standing at the pinnacle had actually lost to a fledgling child.

This kind of psychological落差 was truly not something an ordinary person could bear.

As they say, the higher you stand, the harder you fall—that was the principle.

For a powerhouse like Yun Suifeng, his psychological foundation was built up over hundreds of millions of years, bit by bit.

Their inner selves were extremely strong, one could say indestructible.

However, they had been in high positions for too long!

In Yun Suifeng's heart, only the first disciples of those ancestors could match him.

Others had long ceased to be in their eyes.

Losing to those people had little impact on him.

And others were simply no match for him.

But who could have imagined that after hundreds of millions of years, a young man over two thousand years old would burst onto the scene and, with overwhelming talent, crush him forcefully.

Although everyone called him Archsage, although he had defeated his junior brothers, he still had absolute confidence in himself.

After all, he had stood at the pinnacle of the Dao of Alchemy.

But he lost!

Lost completely!

His Dao heart was like a crack in a dam, growing wider and wider.

Finally, his Dao heart was lost!

"Suifeng, bring your junior brothers to the main hall. Everyone else, withdraw."

Suddenly, an ethereal voice fell abruptly.

Everyone was startled—Maple Forest Ancestor had spoken!

"Withdraw just like that? Maple Forest Ancestor won't let us watch anymore!"

"What a pity! Truly a pity! How many years has it been since someone dared to provoke an ancestor-level powerhouse?"

"Such a pinnacle showdown—just thinking about it gets one excited!"

...

Everyone's faces showed expressions of great regret.

Such a pinnacle duel might not be seen once in a hundred thousand or a million years.

Now that they finally had a chance to see it, Maple Forest Ancestor actually forbade them from watching.

Yun Suifeng trembled all over and, disheartened, led his junior brothers up the mountain.

...

At this moment, Zhao Zixuan and the other five were still in the city, hosted by Zi Jin Heavenly Emperor, who was treating them to a meal.

"Heh, that kid is really overestimating himself! Who does he think he is, daring to provoke Maple Forest Ancestor?" Zhao Zixuan said disdainfully.

Zi Jin Heavenly Emperor said, "I have to admit, the Archsage is truly strong! But provoking an ancestor—he's still too young! By my calculation, he should have already lost by now, right?"

Zhu Tianxiang said, "Mm, in my estimation, even Second Senior Brother probably couldn't stop him. By now, his pill duel with Senior Brother should have ended."

Zi Jin Heavenly Emperor laughed, "The spy should be on his way back; he'll be here soon."

Just then, a thunderous voice suddenly exploded in Zhu Tianxiang's ear, startling him.

"Wretch, roll back here for your master!"

Zhu Tianxiang's expression changed drastically, and the wine he was about to drink spilled all over himself.

Without a word, he stepped out and directly left Cloud Heart City.

The others looked at each other, bewildered.

The voice was loud for Zhu Tianxiang, but the others couldn't hear it.

"What's wrong with Brother Zhu? Leaving without even a word?" another person said.

Suddenly, his expression also changed drastically, and with a flicker, he vanished from the spot.

Then the third, the fourth!

Zhao Zixuan's expression changed drastically, and he frowned, "What on earth is happening? These guys didn't even say goodbye..."

"Wretch, look at the mess you've made! Why don't you roll back here for your master! Immediately! Right now!"

Just then, the same voice exploded in his ear. His expression changed, and he vanished from the spot.

Zi Jin Heavenly Emperor and Qing Yu Heavenly Emperor looked at each other, both at a loss as to what had happened.
