Chapter 1039: Extreme Sword Divine King!

A divine... divine artifact! It really is a divine artifact! Lord Qingyunzi actually has a divine artifact!

Even without Ye Yuan saying anything, the others also felt the pressure of the divine artifact, each one extremely astonished.

The appearance of a divine artifact was no longer a secret in the Divine Realm.

They just never expected that Lord Qingyunzi also possessed a divine artifact!

As for the divine artifact, Ye Yuan had long since grown tired of hiding it. This matter would eventually spread; it simply couldn't be concealed.

Jian Wushuang struggled to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Ye Yuan with a horrified gaze, saying, "You... how could you possibly have a divine artifact?"

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Why can't I have a divine artifact? So... can you get lost now?"

At this moment, Jian Wushuang felt extremely aggrieved!

Ji Qingyun had reincarnated and now only had the strength of the first level of Dao Xuan, while he himself stood at the threshold of a Void Xuan powerhouse.

He had thought he could toy with Ji Qingyun at will, but unexpectedly, Ji Qingyun had brought out a great killing weapon like a divine artifact, and he still couldn't do anything to Ji Qingyun!

Was he, Jian Wushuang, destined to be trampled under this guy's feet for his entire life?

Jian Wushuang knew that Ye Yuan had not unleashed the true power of the divine artifact just now; otherwise, he might not have gotten off with just an injury.

As long as Ye Yuan had the divine artifact in hand, he couldn't gain any advantage.

Jian Wushuang gritted his teeth and said to his subordinates, "Let's go! Ji Qingyun, our score is not settled!"

Jian Wushuang's threat seemed somewhat feeble.

Everyone knew the power of a divine artifact.

Unless one was a Void Xuan realm powerhouse, no one could gain any advantage under Ye Yuan's hands.

If Ye Yuan was willing to pay a sufficient price, he could have even killed Jian Wushuang just now.

When Ye Yuan was still in the Formless realm, he could already use the Sacred Dragon Token to contend with Divine Kings. Now that he had entered Dao Xuan, the Sacred Dragon Token in his hands could naturally unleash greater power.

The martial artists watching this scene were all extremely astonished.

They had thought that Ye Yuan's return, with only the strength of the first level of Dao Xuan, was somewhat shabby.

But through this battle, Ye Yuan had finally bared his fangs!

He dared to appear openly in Yungao City precisely because he had something to rely on.

"Since you're here, why skulk around? Come on out," Ye Yuan suddenly said after Jian Wushuang left.

Ao Qian and the others were startled; none of them had noticed that there was still a powerhouse lurking nearby!

A young man in a light blue robe slowly emerged from the void, looking at Ye Yuan with a faint smile. "Heh, Brother Ji, long time no see! I never thought we would meet again!"

Seeing the newcomer, Ye Yuan's brows finally relaxed, clearly very pleased.

"To be honest, I didn't think so either!"

Ye Yuan smiled and gave the blue-robed youth a bear hug. It seemed the two had a very close relationship.

"Extreme Sword Divine King! That's Lord Qingyunzi's sworn friend, Extreme Sword Divine King!" someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.

Extreme Sword Divine King Kuang Tianming was one of the few Void Xuan powerhouses in the Divine Realm.

Although not among the top ten Divine Kings, his strength was not to be underestimated by anyone.

Moreover, everyone in the Divine Realm knew that Extreme Sword Divine King and Qingyunzi were sworn friends with an excellent relationship.

Back when Ye Yuan created the Falling Flower Drifting Sword, Extreme Sword Divine King was by his side.

After the bear hug, Ye Yuan's expression turned cold. "Lei Ming, aren't you going to scram? Do you want to stay for a cup of tea?"

The crowd was startled again, exchanging bewildered glances. Could there really be another powerhouse hidden in the void?

"Lei Ming? Could it be Thunderclap Divine King Wu Yuanqiao? He and Extreme Sword Divine King are mortal enemies, and it's said he doesn't get along with Lord Qingyunzi either. It seems it's probably him."

Just as everyone was speculating, a cold snort came from the void: "Ji Qingyun, with your current strength, you dare to be arrogant before me! When the Ten Thousand Ages Herb Garden opens, I hope you can come out alive!"

With that, the void fell silent, clearly indicating that he had left.

Kuang Tianming smiled bitterly. "Why did you have to provoke him?"

Ye Yuan laughed. "If I don't provoke him, do you think he'll let me off?"

Kuang Tianming chuckled. "That's true! But... your return this time has really surprised me! Once you break through to the Divine King realm, even I might not be your match!"

Ye Yuan said contemptuously, "Extreme Sword Divine King is unmatched in dominance; when did he become so modest?"

The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.

Seeing an old friend, Ye Yuan was also rarely delighted. He laughed and said, "Come on, today we drink until we're drunk!"

"Haha, when it comes to drinking capacity, you're no match for me!" Kuang Tianming laughed heartily.

The two walked off shoulder to shoulder.

"M... Master Ancestor, I... I..." At this moment, Gu Yue, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

Hearing this, Ye Yuan stopped and smiled. "Who are you from the Nanmo Gu family?"

Gu Yue's expression changed in surprise. "So... so Master Ancestor had already seen through it?"

Kuang Tianming scolded with a laugh, "You foolish boy! What kind of insight does Qingyunzi have? Unless you never use your alchemy skills in front of him, how could your little tricks escape his sharp eyes?"

Gu Yue smiled sheepishly. His face was swollen from Jian Wushuang's slaps, making his smile look extremely ugly.

Ye Yuan casually took out a pill and tossed it to Gu Yue. "Although you hid it well, the alchemy style of the Nanmo Gu family's Qianmo Liufeng is ingrained in your bones. Any discerning eye can tell it's from the Nanmo Gu family. What is Gu Tianhua to you?"

The Nanmo Gu family was a mysterious alchemy school in the Divine Realm, with very strong family alchemy skills. However, they rarely moved around the Divine Realm, so not many people knew about them.

Gu Yue took Ye Yuan's pill, and the swelling on his face quickly subsided. His internal injuries also recovered rapidly, and his entire spirit immediately improved significantly.

Hearing Ye Yuan mention Gu Tianhua's name, Gu Yue hesitated. "Gu Tianhua... is my father!"

Ye Yuan was stunned and then laughed. "Gu Tianhua is extremely powerful and has profound insights into the Dao of Alchemy, yet you came to study under me. If he finds out, won't he skin you alive?"

Ye Yuan hadn't expected that Gu Yue was actually the descendant of an old acquaintance.

Gu Tianhua and Ye Yuan were alchemy powerhouses who rose to prominence in the same era. By now, his alchemy strength should be no less than Zuo Qing's.

Back then, when Ye Yuan had dominated Yungao City and shaken the Divine Realm, he had also attracted Gu Tianhua.

The result was beyond doubt; Gu Tianhua was utterly crushed by Ye Yuan.

However, Ye Yuan still quite recognized Gu Tianhua's alchemy strength.

The Nanmo Gu family's alchemy skills formed their own school with some unique methods, and Ye Yuan had learned quite a bit from Gu Tianhua.

Unexpectedly, as time passed, his own disciple ended up competing with Gu Tianhua's son, and once again crushed him...
