Chapter 1895: The Two-Thousand-Year Pact!

"Are you saying I'm inferior to this trash? Do you even know what realm Junior Sister Mengli has reached now? Heh, not long ago, Mengli broke through to the True God realm! A piece of garbage like Ye Yuan can only gaze at her back for his entire life! He is unworthy of Junior Sister Mengli!"

Lin Changqing's words shocked everyone present.

Those present, including Zuo Shujie, naturally knew Yue Mengli.

When she left Tianying Imperial City back then, she was entirely living in Ye Yuan's shadow.

Now, less than a thousand years since she left Tianying Imperial City, she had already stepped into the True God realm!

Such a cultivation speed was simply unimaginable.

As for Lin Changqing, although his bone age was hard to discern, his qi and blood were extremely vigorous, like the morning sun, clearly not too old either.

A Celestial Venerable as young as this was utterly inconceivable to someone like Zuo Shujie.

Even Ye Yuan and the others had never seen such a young Celestial Venerable.

After all, even a peerless powerhouse like the Immortal Forest Celestial Venerable had taken fifty thousand years to reach the Celestial Venerable realm.

Although Ye Yuan's earlier display of Dao patterns had surprised Lin Changqing, it was merely surprise.

Lin Changqing guessed that Ye Yuan had probably obtained Dao pattern inheritance in some secret realm, allowing him to use them.

Such occurrences, though rare, were not impossible.

As for Ye Yuan having cultivated Dao patterns himself, Lin Changqing never considered it.

Because that was impossible!

Throughout history, there had been countless geniuses, but no one had ever heard of anyone cultivating Dao patterns at the Divine God realm.

Such Dao pattern inheritance was a consumable—use it once and it diminishes.

The road ahead was long; how many times could Ye Yuan use them?

Moreover, even if Ye Yuan possessed those shallow Dao patterns, he was no match for Lin Changqing.

"Who... exactly are you?" Ye Yuan stared fixedly at Lin Changqing, gritting his teeth.

Ye Yuan's gaze made Lin Changqing inwardly smug.

Clearly, his earlier words had struck a nerve with Ye Yuan.

Lin Changqing sneered coldly, "You don't need to know who I am. You only need to know that you and Junior Sister Mengli are impossible! You and she are no longer from the same world! Don't say I'm being heartless—here is a divine-grade Sun-Moon Azure Heaven Pill that can help you reach the True God realm! But by then, Junior Sister Mengli will already be a Celestial Venerable!"

Originally, he disdained to explain this to Ye Yuan.

But since he couldn't kill Ye Yuan now, Lin Changqing intended to make clear the gap between him and Yue Mengli.

That way, as long as Ye Yuan had a shred of self-respect, he wouldn't seek out Yue Mengli.

"Divine-grade Sun-Moon Azure Heaven Pill! My god, that's a pill that can help a martial artist break through to the True God realm!" He Chong's pupils contracted.

Zuo Shujie nodded, "A peak Divine God realm martial artist who takes the divine-grade Sun-Moon Azure Heaven Pill has a seventy percent chance of breaking through to the True God realm! However, Ye Yuan's alchemy..."

They all knew that Ye Yuan's alchemy was heaven-defying.

Though centuries had passed, they felt Ye Yuan's alchemy skills wouldn't have declined.

For a moment, the people of Tianying Imperial City wore extremely strange expressions.

Swoosh!

A green light flew toward Ye Yuan—it was a small bottle containing a pill.

Tong'er's lips curled into a mocking smile, but she didn't stop it.

Whoosh!

Ye Yuan pointed a finger, and the green bottle exploded in midair with a bang.

The pill inside was also blasted to dust by Ye Yuan, dissipating into the air.

Seeing this, everyone winced in pain.

You may not care, but we do!

Even if you don't want it, why destroy it outright?

Lin Changqing showed no surprise, only sneering, "Pathetic self-respect? With this pill, perhaps tens of thousands of years later, you might still have a chance to stand before me. But you destroyed it! Still, it's just as well—know yourself. From now on, forget about Junior Sister Mengli!"

Lin Changqing clasped his hands behind his back, supremely arrogant.

He had the capital to be arrogant!

A Celestial Venerable so young—who dared say he couldn't step into the elusive Heavenly Emperor realm?

Such a figure was a true prodigy of the Tongtian Realm.

Ye Yuan looked at Lin Changqing and slowly raised two fingers.

Lin Changqing was momentarily stunned; even Tong'er showed confusion at Ye Yuan's gesture.

"Two thousand years!"

Lin Changqing was quick-witted; after a moment of daze, he quickly understood Ye Yuan's meaning.

Ye Yuan paused, then added, "Within two thousand years, I will stand before you! And show you whether Li'er and I are from the same world!"

His words silenced everyone.

Tong'er's pupils also contracted; he felt Ye Yuan was boasting too much!

He himself was a Celestial Venerable, so he naturally knew how difficult it was to reach that realm.

He didn't doubt that Ye Yuan could eventually become a Celestial Venerable, but two thousand years—that was too outrageous.

"Hahaha... what big talk! Since you're so confident, how about we make a two-thousand-year pact? Two thousand years from now, you and I will fight! The loser leaves Junior Sister Mengli!" Lin Changqing laughed heartily.

To him, Ye Yuan's words were nothing but the pathetic self-respect of a weakling.

Going from Divine God to Celestial Venerable in two thousand years—such a thing was absolutely impossible!

Even he, with supreme talent and countless pills and treasures, had taken five thousand years to reach the Celestial Venerable realm.

And his starting point was far higher than most martial artists in the Tongtian Realm!

Lin Changqing was born a True God!

In terms of talent, who could compare to him?

After all, the Tongtian Realm had countless martial artists, but over ninety percent would never set foot in the True God realm in their entire lives!

Yet he was born at that level.

From Divine God to Celestial Venerable seemed like only two major realms, but the distance between them was as vast as heaven and earth.

Many who called themselves geniuses couldn't cross these two thresholds, let alone achieve it in a mere two thousand years.

This wasn't pride—it was ignorance!

Ye Yuan looked at Lin Changqing and shook his head, "I, Ye Yuan, do not gamble with my woman."

Lin Changqing sneered contemptuously, about to dismiss him, when Ye Yuan continued, "Two thousand years from now, you and I will fight! The victor lives, the loser... dies! Do you dare?"

Ye Yuan stared at Lin Changqing, his gaze piercing.

Everyone gasped; they hadn't expected Ye Yuan to be so resolute.

Agreeing to a life-and-death battle was nothing special.

But the gap between Ye Yuan and Lin Changqing was too vast; two thousand years was but a blink—this pact was far too disadvantageous for Ye Yuan!

This was a bet with no chance of winning!

Tong'er frowned, "Kid, don't be impulsive!"

Ye Yuan ignored him, only staring at Lin Changqing and speaking again, "Do you dare?"
