Chapter 2471: I Wouldn't Stoop to That!

"You're truly insane, attacking so many innocent people!" Ye Yuan sneered at the listless Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy.

Most of these Dao of Alchemy masters had no connection to the Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy.

This man had mercilessly killed them, his crimes too numerous to record.

The Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy's eyes dimmed, and he gritted his teeth. "Why should I be a dog for life? I won't accept it! I... resent it! Everyone treats me as a dog by his side! I, the senior disciple, am even less than a third-generation disciple! Hahaha... Those so-called geniuses all deserve to die! They're nothing but stepping stones on my path to rise!"

At death's door, the Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy finally voiced the resentment he had suppressed in his heart.

Now, the Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy had calmed down.

He was a smart man and knew Ye Yuan would not let him go.

Thus, he did not make any futile pleas.

Ye Yuan looked at the Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy without a trace of pity.

Those who are pitiable must have something hateful about them.

A man should strive to be strong. The Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy was ambitious, but his methods were wrong.

Of course, more importantly, he had targeted the wrong person.

Of all things, he should not have provoked Ye Yuan.

"Any last words?" Ye Yuan said indifferently.

The Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy laughed loudly. "Ye Yuan, you've seen the Dao I devoured, haven't you? Hahaha, if you just learn from their Daos, with your talent, entering the Dao Pill realm will be a breeze! I have no last words. You will carry my ambition... and live on! Hahaha..."

Ye Yuan curled his lip. "Indeed, thousands of Daos are tempting. But you underestimate me! Do you think I need these to break through to the Dao Pill realm?"

With that, Ye Yuan reached out and pulled. A black whirlwind immediately swirled around him, emitting a mournful howl.

A faint glow emanated from Ye Yuan's body.

He gently stroked the black whirlwind, and the violent black wind gradually calmed.

At that moment, Ye Yuan was like a divine Buddha, delivering all beings!

The black whirlwind was formed from the resentful spirits devoured by the Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy.

Though their souls had been devoured, a trace of resentment remained after death.

Resentment, defiance!

The Buddha nature within Ye Yuan was like spring rain, warming and nourishing these resentful spirits.

"Rest assured, I won't use you for cultivation. If I did, how would I be any different from him? Now, disperse," Ye Yuan said calmly.

The resentful spirits materialized one by one, bowing to Ye Yuan in gratitude.

Finally, they turned to look at the dumbfounded Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy, a hint of relief in their eyes.

Then, they transformed into specks of light and dissipated between heaven and earth.

"Thank you, sir, for letting us enter reincarnation!"

"Thank you, sir, I am eternally grateful!"

"Your kindness, sir, I will never forget!"

...

Figures appeared one after another, bowing endlessly to Ye Yuan.

The Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy's black wheel was terrifying; after being devoured, the remnant souls were permanently imprisoned within, unable to escape.

Ye Yuan had rescued them and delivered them, allowing them to enter reincarnation.

They had to acknowledge this debt of gratitude.

The Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy's mouth hung open, his face full of disbelief.

He couldn't imagine anyone could resist such temptation!

With Ye Yuan's talent, comprehending these Daos would make breaking through to the Dao Pill realm effortless.

Yet he had simply given it up!

"You... you..." The Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy tried to speak but found nothing to say.

Ye Yuan said calmly, "I won't deny that I was tempted for a moment. But using them to cultivate? I wouldn't stoop to that! Did you think you could destroy my Dao heart with them? How naive! Besides... do you think I need their power to enter the Dao Pill realm with my talent?"

As he spoke, Ye Yuan exuded immense confidence.

What Ye Yuan was most proud of was never martial arts or the Chaos Primordial Spirit, but the Dao of Alchemy!

What had supported him step by step to today was not his martial talent, but his alchemy talent!

Back then, he had entered the Great Dao through alchemy, creating the "Chaos Unrivaled True Scripture."

Every step of his rise had been inseparable from the support of the Dao of Alchemy!

Thus, he had this confidence.

Moreover, his current alchemy realm was only a step away from the Dao Pill.

Entering the Dao Pill realm was just a matter of time.

The Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy's face turned pale, and he suddenly felt his beliefs completely collapse.

These thousands of Daos were the essence of his life, his own Dao.

He believed that anyone in the Tongtian Realm who saw them would be unable to resist such temptation.

But Ye Yuan discarded them like worn-out shoes.

This was the powerful confidence of a true genius!

Suddenly, he trembled, and a figure materialized.

The Medicine Ancestor!

Ye Yuan's gaze sharpened at the sight of the Medicine Ancestor.

This man who had once stood at the pinnacle of the Dao of Alchemy had fallen to such a state—pitiable and lamentable.

The Medicine Ancestor looked at Ye Yuan with a complex expression.

Finally, he spoke, "Ye Yuan, thank you!"

Ye Yuan waved his hand. "No need. Our grievances are settled from now on."

The Medicine Ancestor nodded but turned to the Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy, sighing softly. "Foolish child! You were too impatient! Once I break through to the Dao Pill realm, I would naturally have nourished you and helped you enter the Dao Pill realm! Alas!"

The Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy sneered, "Stop pretending to be kind! In your eyes, I'm nothing but a dog! All these years, you've never looked at me squarely! Now you want to make me feel guilty with these words? Hah, do you take me for a fool?"

The Medicine Ancestor was unperturbed. "Do you think you could hide what you did under my nose? And when you finally struck at me, do you think I was truly powerless? Also, if I didn't value you, why did I take only you away from the Battle of Yunxin Realm?"

The Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy's expression turned unnatural. "In your eyes, of course, an old dog is the handiest to command! Enough talk! No matter how smooth your tongue, I won't believe you!"

The Medicine Ancestor said, "Silly child, you are my son! Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs; how could I harm you?"

The Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy burst into laughter. "Hahaha... Old thing, are you joking?"

The Medicine Ancestor said, "When you were young, you had a maple-leaf-shaped birthmark on your lower abdomen. You often felt heat there, and your cultivation speed far exceeded others. Later, when you and your mother were in danger, that birthmark helped you kill your opponent. But after that, the birthmark disappeared..."

With every word the Medicine Ancestor spoke, the Celestial Thearch of Everlasting Joy's face changed a little.

No one had ever known these secrets!
