Chapter 1025: The Nine-Star Heaven Control Art

Ye Yuan himself was not sure whether this pill formula would succeed.

But in an age when the divine path was fading, martial artists exhausted every means to break through its shackles. As a prodigy of his generation, Ye Yuan naturally refused to lag behind.

The Ancient Medicine Garden opened once every five hundred years. As a pinnacle Pill Emperor, Ye Yuan could not possibly miss it.

Moreover, for Ye Yuan, who urgently needed to enhance his strength, a place like the Ancient Medicine Garden was just right.

The Azure Dragon Clan, true to being one of the most powerful forces in the Divine Realm, prepared the spiritual herbs Ye Yuan requested by the next day.

After breaking through to the Dao Profound realm, Ye Yuan's soul force had reached the mid-stage Pill Emperor level. Although refining a ninth-grade upper pill was somewhat strenuous, it was still within his capabilities.

Ye Yuan did not avoid any onlookers while refining the pill. Ao Qian and others watched from the side, along with several high-ranking members of the Dragon Clan.

As for Xiao Ruyan and Ren Dong, they naturally would not miss it.

The two of them, having followed Ye Yuan, had also broken through to the Pill Venerable realm, and their alchemy skills were already extremely formidable.

If they were to establish their own schools now, they would be no less than those Pill Emperor experts.

When Ye Yuan started the furnace to refine pills, he naturally could not do without them.

"In alchemy, the ninth-grade upper level is a watershed. Every ninth-grade upper pill seizes the creation of heaven and earth and resonates with the Great Dao. Without a profound understanding of the Great Dao, success is impossible. Today, your master will refine the Nine True Pill, the most basic of ninth-grade upper pills. Observe carefully," Ye Yuan instructed Xiao and Ren.

"Yes, Master!" the two replied promptly.

Over the years following Ye Yuan, they had truly discovered the joy of alchemy and were deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate themselves.

It was precisely because of this that their alchemy skills advanced by leaps and bounds.

This dedication was quite similar to Ye Yuan's in his previous life, which greatly gratified him.

Xiao Ruyan, in particular, had long cast aside any romantic thoughts. Now, she felt nothing but admiration for Ye Yuan.

"Bang!"

Ye Yuan gave a gentle shake, directly pulverizing the spiritual herbs.

Crushing herbs to form the embryo!

Like a magician, Ye Yuan condensed the powdered herbs into an embryo.

At the same time, his other hand skillfully ignited the Dragon Emperor Cauldron.

"Boom!"

The pill embryo entered the cauldron, emitting a cheerful crackling sound.

As Ye Yuan began refining, his techniques were not as dazzling as before, but every move gave a sense of ease and delight.

At this moment, Ye Yuan seemed unreal.

He was clearly there refining the pill, yet he gave the impression of being ethereal and elusive.

"Resonance with the Great Dao! Such... such incredible alchemy!" Ao Qian exclaimed.

Void Profound experts had an extremely keen perception of the Heavenly Dao.

Every movement of Ye Yuan corresponded to the mysteries of the Dao, thus creating this illusion of reality and fantasy.

"They say that in his previous life, the master was a peerless Pill Emperor who reached the pinnacle of alchemy in just a few hundred years. I had some doubts. Now it seems his attainment in alchemy surpasses ours in martial arts!" Wu Luo praised.

Jiang Taicang nodded in deep agreement: "Alchemy requires ten or even a hundred times the effort of martial arts. For the master to reach such a realm in just a few hundred years is truly incredible! If he hadn't met with an unexpected demise, he might have broken the shackles through alchemy!"

These three were figures at the pinnacle of martial arts, having seen countless geniuses.

Yet even they felt a sense of inferiority when witnessing Ye Yuan's alchemy.

To have reached such a level in alchemy, Ye Yuan was truly a prodigy of the ages.

Just as everyone was marveling, the sky suddenly darkened. Looking up, they saw a massive array pattern in the sky.

The array pattern had complex lines, but the most conspicuous were the nine dim stars.

"Boom!"

A beam of light suddenly shot out from the Dragon Emperor Cauldron, piercing the sky!

Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the first dim star was abruptly lit!

Ao Qian and the others wore expressions of utter shock; the scene was too awe-inspiring.

"This... this is the Nine-Star Heaven Control Art! My heavens, the master has actually mastered this alchemy technique! No wonder he dared to refine a ninth-grade upper pill right after entering the Dao Profound realm!" Ao Qian exclaimed in astonishment.

Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo's expressions turned serious: "Are you sure... this is the Nine-Star Heaven Control Art?"

Ao Qian nodded: "Absolutely! Back then, to refine a pill, I paid a huge price to seek out the president of the Alchemist Association. That old fellow used the Nine-Star Heaven Control Art! At that time, the same phenomenon appeared in the sky! When all nine stars on the array pattern are lit, the pill is formed!"

Jiang Taicang and Wu Luo were also ancient monsters with vast experience, but there were so few in the Divine Realm who had mastered the Nine-Star Heaven Control Art that they had only heard of it, never seen it.

Hearing Ao Qian's words, they were greatly astonished.

Only then did they realize what a terrifying master they had followed!

Ao Qian paused, then added: "But that old fellow took a full five thousand years to master the Nine-Star Heaven Control Art! As for Ye Yuan... even counting his previous life, he is no more than five hundred years old. The gap..."

Ao Qian did not finish, but the implication was clear.

Both were pinnacle Pill Emperors, but Ye Yuan's potential far exceeded that of the former Alchemist Association president!

While Ao Qian and the others were stunned, the Dragon Clan was in an uproar.

"What's going on? It was fine just now, why did the sky suddenly darken?"

"A heavenly phenomenon—could someone be undergoing a tribulation? But it doesn't look like it!"

"A nine-star array pattern—what the hell is that?"

None of these Dragon Clan members had ever seen such a phenomenon, and they speculated wildly.

Ao Lin gazed at the nine-star array pattern in the sky and sighed: "This kid, reborn, his alchemy skills haven't regressed but have improved!"

Ao Duo's expression shifted uncertainly as he said solemnly: "The nine-star array pattern, the Nine-Star Heaven Control Art! The Dragon Lord's alchemy skills are truly terrifying! Perhaps... he might indeed blaze a trail no one has ever taken before!"

"Whoosh!"

Another beam of light shot into the sky, lighting up the second star on the nine-star array pattern!

Ye Yuan was now completely immersed in pill refining, oblivious to the outside world.

But just then, a sudden change occurred in his sea of consciousness!

The divine inscriptions suddenly blazed with golden light, flying out of his sea of consciousness one by one, entering the Dragon Emperor Cauldron through his soul force.

"Rumble..."

The Dragon Emperor Cauldron trembled violently. Ye Yuan's eyes snapped open, filled with shock.
