Chapter 2753: Life Is but a Dream!

Ye Yuan looked back at the No. 1 cultivation chamber and said with some regret, "It's a pity that the celestial crystals are insufficient. If I could cultivate to the fourth form's great perfection before leaving, I would have much more confidence in dealing with the Alchemy Alliance."

The others were speechless upon hearing this.

Only this guy would treat this place as paradise, right?

Anyone else would have been so crushed by these peerless prodigies that they would lose all desire to cultivate.

Although Dahuang was impressive, he had virtually no hope of breaking into the top hundred.

Sometimes, hard work alone isn't enough.

When your talent reaches a bottleneck, no amount of effort will help.

But talent combined with hard work—that's terrifying.

Ye Yuan was exactly that kind of person.

Soon, Ye Yuan led the group out of the Mind-Confusing Palace.

Of the hundreds of experts who entered, only a little over a hundred remained.

But following Ye Yuan, these hundred people had gained immensely.

"Brother Ye, I won't say much. When you give the order, we will go all out!" Ziyang Saint Sovereign said with a cupped-fist salute.

Over the past few years, they had all abandoned any thought of opposing Ye Yuan.

This guy was even more terrifying than Zhuo Bufan back then!

Opposing him would lead to a miserable end.

Moreover, during this entry into the Mind-Confusing Palace, Ye Yuan had greatly helped them all. After returning to seclusion this time, they would surely advance further.

Ziyang Saint Sovereign expressed his stance, and the other Saint Sovereigns were also deeply grateful to Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I will trouble you all when the time comes. Everyone, please leave first. I still have matters to attend to, so I won't see you off."

Knowing that the Tongtian Realm was Ye Yuan's homeland, the group did not linger and departed directly.

After everyone left the Tianduan Continent, Ye Yuan turned his palm over, and a crystal-clear small bottle appeared in his hand.

Inside this small bottle was the Duan Kong Xian Ning.

Duan Kong Xian Ning was a heavenly treasure that could strengthen the primordial spirit!

After the Saint Emperor realm, the key to breakthrough was the primordial spirit!

The primordial spirit communicates with heaven and earth, comprehending the Great Dao.

If the primordial spirit is not strong enough, breaking through to the Saint Sovereign realm is extremely difficult.

This is one of the reasons why Saint Sovereigns are so few.

Yan Yuzhen's request for Duan Kong Xian Ning was most likely to break through to the True Sovereign realm.

"Senior, will this 'Life Is but a Dream' really work?"

As he spoke, another small bottle appeared in Ye Yuan's hand, containing a transparent liquid.

Life Is but a Dream—the name sounded beautiful, but it was an extremely potent poison.

This poison did not target the physical body, only the primordial spirit!

Poisons that target the primordial spirit are very rare and extremely difficult to refine.

But once afflicted, it clings like a stubborn parasite, hard to eradicate.

Unless one encounters a top-tier celestial alchemist, even immortals would find it hard to cure!

In the Treasure Pavilion, Ye Yuan had not only found Duan Kong Xian Ning but also this Life Is but a Dream!

"Kid, you're lucky! Without this Life Is but a Dream, you'd have no way to deal with that guy and would be completely under his thumb! Rest assured, even if the so-called Alchemy Alliance leader comes, he won't be able to cure the poison of Life Is but a Dream! The strength of the Mind-Confusing Palace's celestial alchemist is beyond your imagination!" Mi Tian said confidently.

Ye Yuan nodded slightly and dripped a drop of Life Is but a Dream into the Duan Kong Xian Ning.

The Duan Kong Xian Ning remained as usual.

Life Is but a Dream was colorless and odorless; even Ye Yuan could not detect its presence.

"That Yan Yuzhen is extremely secretive and very familiar with my abilities. I'm afraid he won't trust me so easily!" Ye Yuan said with a frown.

"This is simple! Once you cultivate 'Divine Derivation' to the second layer, your soul power will directly break through to the fifth rank, reaching the level of the Saint Emperor Heaven! At that time, using the secret arts of 'Divine Derivation,' expelling this 'Life Like a Dream' will not be difficult. Although 'Life Like a Dream' is formidable, it falls short when matched against 'Divine Derivation'!" said Mi Tian.

Ye Yuan's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

With this, he truly had no more worries.

Without any hesitation, Ye Yuan had Big Yellow guard him while he began cultivating the second layer of 'Divine Derivation.'

The power of 'Divine Derivation' needed no elaboration.

Ye Yuan had long reached the Great Perfection of the first layer, and his Chaos Primordial Spirit had already reached the peak of the Jade Emperor Heaven.

In fact, it was even stronger than the peak of the Jade Emperor Heaven!

As long as he successfully cultivated the second layer, it was almost inevitable that his primordial spirit would reach the level of the Saint Emperor Heaven.

Ye Yuan sat cross-legged, and within his sea of consciousness, the Chaos Primordial Spirit began to operate the cultivation method of the second layer of 'Divine Derivation.'

A powerful fluctuation of primordial spirit quietly spread out.

"This is... the Chaos Primordial Spirit! Such a strong primordial spirit fluctuation, it's probably far stronger than the average peak of the Jade Emperor Heaven! Once he reaches the Great Perfection of the Jade Emperor Heaven, breaking through to the Saint Emperor Heaven will be a natural progression!" Seeing this, Big Yellow was left speechless.

For others, breaking through to the Saint Emperor Heaven was a desperate struggle, and even then, success was not guaranteed.

But Ye Yuan was different; the bottlenecks that plagued others simply did not exist for him!

With the Chaos Primordial Spirit and this powerful primordial spirit fluctuation, breaking through to the Saint Emperor Heaven had become almost a certainty.

Cultivation methods for the primordial spirit were extremely rare.

Even if they existed, they rarely produced real results.

With the aid of heavenly medicines, reaching the Great Perfection of the Jade Emperor Heaven was not difficult.

The difficulty lay in simultaneously cultivating the primordial spirit to the Great Perfection.

In fact, for most martial artists, their primordial spirit realm was far lower than their own cultivation realm.

Thus, it was almost impossible for them to break through to the Saint Emperor Heaven.

The genuine Qiong Yao Heavenly Saint Elixir that Ye Yuan had previously refined for Big Yellow and the others forcibly allowed them to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, elevating their primordial spirits, which led to their success.

Of course, this effect was only possible because Big Yellow and the others had already reached the required primordial spirit realm.

For others, even with the genuine Qiong Yao Heavenly Saint Elixir, it might not work.

Ye Yuan's cultivation lasted for half a year.

One day, Ye Yuan's primordial spirit fluctuation suddenly surged!

Above the Tian Duan Continent, faint thunder rumbled!

Big Yellow's expression changed drastically as he looked at Ye Yuan in shock.

"This... this... has his primordial spirit realm directly broken through to the Saint Emperor Heaven?"

Such a breakthrough was too incredible.

For others, breakthroughs occurred when their cultivation realm advanced first, while the primordial spirit lagged behind.

But Ye Yuan was the opposite; his cultivation realm was only at the peak of the mid-level Jade Emperor Heaven, yet his primordial spirit had directly reached the Saint Emperor Heaven!

With such a powerful primordial spirit, even without using any martial techniques, a single primordial spirit attack would instantly kill a Jade Emperor Heaven martial artist!

Monstrous!

Too damn monstrous!

How could there be such a monstrous person in the world?

Pfft!

Suddenly, Ye Yuan spat out large mouthfuls of blood, and his entire body began to sway unsteadily.

Big Yellow's expression changed as he said, "Damn it, his cultivation realm is too low to withstand the primordial spirit of the Saint Emperor Heaven!"

"Don't worry, he won't die! This kid's potential is immense!" Just as Big Yellow was about to step forward, Mi Tian stopped him.

At that moment, a shocking dragon might surged from Ye Yuan's body, shooting into the sky!

Roar!

From Ye Yuan's mouth came a startling dragon roar!

His aura also began to climb wildly.
