Chapter 1678: Leaving the Heavenly Mountain

Ye Yuan collected over a hundred storage rings and made each of them swear a Heavenly Dao oath before he let the matter rest.

Without even looking, these hundred or so storage rings were surely a huge fortune.

These people were all from the imperial capital, not as shabby as the geniuses from the royal city.

Having broken through to the Divine Rotation realm, Ye Yuan would only spend more, and he naturally wouldn't mind having more money.

Putting away the storage rings, Ye Yuan smiled at Zhuo Han and said, "Continue your enlightenment of the Heavenly Dao; I won't disturb you. If fate allows, we shall meet again."

With that, Ye Yuan turned and left.

"This... he's leaving just like that?" The crowd was stunned.

The Heavenly Mountain wasn't a place one could come to anytime; each time one came, they would carry away a lot of the Heavenly Dao's aura.

Only after fully digesting all that Heavenly Dao aura could one enter again.

For geniuses like Leng Qiuling and Zhuo Han, it took them about a hundred years to digest all that Heavenly Dao.

But for some weaker martial artists, it took thousands or even tens of thousands of years to digest it.

Thus, every visit to the Heavenly Mountain was an extremely precious opportunity for martial artists, and they treasured it greatly.

Judging by Ye Yuan's current attitude, he actually intended to leave early.

Ye Yuan had achieved his goal in coming to the Heavenly Mountain and no longer needed to stay.

Having created the fourth-layer technique, Ye Yuan would face no major bottlenecks before breaking through to the fifth stage.

There was nothing a single pill couldn't solve.

Moreover, with the Lesser Heavenly Mountain on him, if not for encountering this major bottleneck, he wouldn't have needed to come to the Heavenly Mountain at all.

Carrying a Heavenly Mountain with him—how delightful.

Watching Ye Yuan's retreating figure, Leng Qiuling felt a faint melancholy rise in her heart.

She was startled by this feeling; was she actually feeling reluctant to part with a man?

This... shouldn't be!

But Leng Qiuling was naturally indifferent, and she quickly composed herself and began to comprehend the Heavenly Dao.

Her purpose in coming to the Heavenly Mountain this time was to break through to the Divine God realm in one go.

She had already wasted a lot of time and could not afford any more delays.

Ye Yuan went to the mountainside, found Ning Tianping who was comprehending the Heavenly Dao, and directly and rudely interrupted him.

Seeing Ye Yuan, Ning Tianping's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Milord, you... you've broken through!"

Ning Tianping was secretly shocked; he couldn't understand why, with his strength, he couldn't see through Ye Yuan's depth.

All he knew was that Ye Yuan's aura had surged, and he had definitely broken through to the Divine Lord realm.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "This trip wasn't in vain. Let's go, down the mountain!"

Ning Tianping didn't hesitate and nodded, "Let's go!"

However, Mo Lifei was not happy and frowned, "A chance to come to the Heavenly Mountain is rare; how can you give up halfway?"

Ye Yuan glanced at Ning Tianping and smiled without speaking.

Ning Tianping laughed and said, "Hey, Master, you still don't know Milord well enough. Now that he has broken through to the fourth stage, your disciple's breakthrough to the Divine God realm is just around the corner. There's no need to waste time at the Heavenly Mountain."

Mo Lifei was stunned, full of confusion.

Ning Tianping added, "Master, you may not know this, but Milord is also a Four-Star Divine Pill Master!"

Mo Lifei had thought Ye Yuan possessed some extraordinary ability, but after hearing this, he said disdainfully, "Four-star alchemy gods are a dime a dozen! He's formidable, sure, but his prowess can't be transferred to you! Can a four-star alchemy god guarantee your breakthrough to the Divine Deity realm? That realm isn't that cheap!"

Ning Tianping was speechless. He also knew that without seeing Ye Yuan's alchemy skills firsthand, it was hard for ordinary people to believe.

Ning Tianping just chuckled and transmitted his voice to Mo Lifei in the Spirit Void Ring: "Master, you'll see how terrifying the lord's alchemy skills are later. Perhaps he will be the second Medicine Ancestor!"

Mo Lifei in the Spirit Void Ring trembled all over, his eyes showing disbelief.

Wasn't Ning Tianping's evaluation a bit too high?

However, if Ye Yuan's alchemy strength could truly rival the Medicine Ancestor's, then helping Ning Tianping break through to the Divine Deity realm would naturally be no problem.

While Mo Lifei was stunned, Ning Tianping and Ye Yuan had already descended the mountain.

At the bottom of each level of Tongtian Mountain, there was a passage.

As long as one entered that passage, they could leave Tongtian Mountain.

The two went straight through the passage and returned to the Tongtian Realm.

Ye Yuan did not leave in a hurry but returned to Nanlu Town.

In all fairness, he should say goodbye to Old Drunkard.

Old Drunkard was taken aback when he saw Ye Yuan.

"You... you really came back safely! No, you've even broken through! But why... I feel like I can't see through your true strength?"

Seeing Ye Yuan again, Old Drunkard found that Ye Yuan had undergone earth-shaking changes.

This change was hard to describe in words.

But without a doubt, Ye Yuan had broken through to the fourth rank!

At this moment, he finally understood why Wuchen valued Ye Yuan so much.

Entering Tongtian Mountain at the Return to Void realm, not only coming out unscathed but also breaking through the shackles.

Just this alone was not something ordinary people could achieve.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "My cultivation technique is somewhat special, so it might seem a bit hazy."

Old Drunkard's expression changed, and he said in surprise, "Since you obtained the inheritance of Immortal Lin, you didn't cultivate his technique?"

Old Drunkard knew Immortal Lin well. Although Immortal Lin was powerful, his technique couldn't give Ye Yuan this feeling.

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "I did not cultivate Senior Immortal Lin's technique."

Old Drunkard's expression changed, and he was shocked inside.

After all, the technique of the Immortal Lin Celestial Venerable was a top-tier technique in the Tongtian Realm.

By following it step by step, even if one couldn't reach the Heavenly Emperor realm, reaching the peak of Celestial Venerable was completely possible.

But Ye Yuan hadn't cultivated it!

Then where did he get his technique?

Wuchen also appeared and smiled, "Stop guessing. This technique was created by Ye Yuan himself! Because he encountered a bottleneck, he came to Tongtian Mountain to seek a breakthrough. Now that he has succeeded, there's naturally no need to stay. Old Drunkard, just wait in peace. Immortal Lin's revenge will be avenged by Ye Yuan before long!"

Old Drunkard trembled all over, his heart surging with monstrous waves.

Wuchen dared to say such things, showing he had full confidence in Ye Yuan.

Now it seemed that this young man was not as simple as he had imagined.

After the shock, Old Drunkard looked deeply at Ye Yuan and said, "Good, I'll wait for your good news! If you can avenge Immortal Lin, I will serve you as a beast of burden for the rest of my life!"

Ye Yuan quickly said, "Senior Drunkard, you flatter me. That Nine Entropy Heavenly Emperor also has a deep enmity with me. Even if not for Senior Immortal Lin, I wouldn't let him off."

Wuchen laughed and scolded, "You old fool, you think too highly of yourself! This kid's future achievements are far beyond your imagination! Nine Entropy is just a stepping stone for him!"
