Chapter 1965 Liu Yi

Jian Hao's son's eyes were healed!

This news spread like wildfire through the Extreme Fortune Imperial Capital.

The great families, one after another, stirred at the news, all wanting to find out who had cured Jian Yun's eyes.

There really was someone in the Extreme Fortune Imperial Capital who could refine the Six-Pattern Star Essence Pill!

For the Jian family, the Six-Pattern Star Essence Pill was practically a second life.

How many members of the Jian family in this city had suffered from heavenly backlash?

Even some of the more powerful ones had sustained hidden injuries that had never been fully cured.

But Jian Hao's family kept tight-lipped, and no one knew who this master was.

Just then, a rumor spread like wildfire.

It turned out that the one who refined the Six-Pattern Star Essence Pill was none other than the young man who had come to the Imperial Capital with Elder Jian Hongxiao!

A single stone stirred a thousand ripples.

The Jian family members in the city were all astounded; their first reaction was disbelief.

How could a young man who had just entered the True God realm, so incredibly young, be the master who refined the Six-Pattern Star Essence Pill?

But upon careful thought, it actually seemed quite credible!

So, some began to visit Elder Jian Hongxiao's residence, just to give it a try.

And every single one returned with a full load!

Those Jian family members with chronic ailments were all restored to health under Master Ye Yuan's miraculous hands!

This time, it completely exploded.

Every day, people came to the elder's residence, almost wearing down the doorstep.

For a time, Jian Hongxiao became the most sought-after elder in the city.

Even Master Buchen personally visited to seek advice from Master Ye Yuan.

And so, Ye Yuan cultivated while treating the Jian family's heavenly backlash, passing over ten years.

One day, Jian Hongxiao came to find Ye Yuan.

The moment he saw Jian Hongxiao, Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, and he smiled, "Congratulations, Brother Hongxiao! It seems the Extreme Fortune Imperial Capital will soon have another Venerable."

Jian Hongxiao at this moment had a full forehead, and the aura of "Dao" around him grew stronger—clearly a sign of imminent breakthrough.

From True God to Venerable—how many heroes had this step stumped?

Take the Extreme Fortune Imperial Capital, for instance; Ye Yuan knew of twenty or thirty True God Ninth Heaven experts alone.

And there were even more below True God Ninth Heaven.

Yet among so many True God experts, only Jian Sutao and Jian Suyan had managed to break through to the Venerable realm.

And this was with the Jian family's powerful techniques; elsewhere, the probability was even lower.

Thus, Jian Hongxiao's taking this step made countless True God experts green with envy.

Jian Hongxiao beamed with joy, saying, "Heh, without you, I would never have taken this step in my lifetime. Venerable! Even those bearing Imperial Extreme Qi dare not claim they will definitely break through to Venerable. That I am where I am today is all thanks to your immortal aura!"

Ye Yuan smiled, "Brother Hongxiao's talent was always excellent. If not for the heavenly backlash back then, with the accumulation of these hundred thousand years, you might have reached this step as well."

Jian Hongxiao shook his head, "There are no ifs in this world; everything is fated. That tribulation back then was Feng Qi's tribulation, and also mine. If I hadn't met you, my fate could not have changed."

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "Is there something you need?"

"Lord Sutao sent me to find you, asking you to go to the Worthies' Pavilion. The Ancient God Battlefield is about to open, and the other Children of Fortune have already arrived one after another," Jian Hongxiao said.

Ye Yuan laughed upon hearing this, "Brother Hongxiao's father-in-law is truly skilled in the art of controlling others. Not only did he use you to blackmail me into entering the Ancient God Battlefield, but he also deliberately leaked the news to let me treat the Jian family. Tsk tsk, such scheming."

Jian Hongxiao looked embarrassed, knowing he had caused Ye Yuan trouble.

If not for him, Ye Yuan would not have gotten into so much trouble, even risking his life to enter the Ancient God Battlefield.

...

At the Worthies' Pavilion, all the worthies had gathered.

As soon as Ye Yuan entered the hall, he immediately drew sidelong glances.

A young man seated at the head looked him over and laughed, "I was wondering who had such airs to be the last to arrive—turns out it's just a rookie who just entered the True God realm."

"Hahaha..."

The crowd burst into laughter.

Ye Yuan noticed that since he broke through to the Yuan Dan realm, his cultivation speed had slowed down considerably.

It wasn't that his talent had declined, but that the spiritual energy required was terrifying.

Over the past ten years, Ye Yuan had consumed many pills, but his realm had not advanced much; he was still at the early stage of Yuan Dan First Heaven.

Of course, this was relative to himself; ordinary martial artists cultivating for ten years would probably just barely stabilize their realm.

Ye Yuan ignored him and found a corner to sit down.

Scanning the room, Ye Yuan saw that including himself, there were nine people in the hall.

The young man at the head was the strongest, having already reached the early stage of True God Third Heaven.

The others were only at True God Second Heaven and mid-to-late True God First Heaven.

And he himself was the weakest among them, at the mid stage of Yuan Dan First Heaven.

At the True God realm, even the gap between early True God First Heaven and mid True God First Heaven meant a huge difference in strength.

So that young man's nostrils were practically pointing at the sky.

He slowly stood up and addressed the crowd, "I am Song Yu, from the Ten Abyss Imperial Capital. Elder Jian Suyan personally performed the Qi Observation Art on me, and I am at the peak of Imperial Extreme Qi. Entering the Ancient God Battlefield this time, as long as I obtain a great opportunity, I believe breaking through to Imperial Extreme Qi should be no problem."

The crowd was slightly startled.

Jian Suyan was the Grand Elder of the Star Hall, the only Venerable realm expert.

Having him personally perform the Qi Observation Art was a great honor.

Seeing the change in their expressions, Song Yu looked smug and said with a smile, "We are all from the Extreme Fortune Imperial Capital. Naturally, we should support each other in the Ancient God Battlefield. How about we each introduce ourselves and talk about our fortune?"

Song Yu had intimidated everyone from the start, and no one objected now.

The young man below him spoke up, "My name is Guo Jingyang, from the Red Leaf Imperial Capital, late stage of Imperial Extreme Qi."

"My name is Ma Chang, from the Fufeng Imperial Capital, late stage of Imperial Extreme Qi."

...

Soon, it was the turn of a shifty-looking old man sitting next to Ye Yuan.

Ye Yuan had been quietly observing him since he entered. The others were all young, but this fellow was ancient, probably hundreds of thousands of years old.

It was hard to imagine that someone like him could be chosen to enter the Ancient God Battlefield.

But since he could enter the Worthies' Pavilion, he was at least at the Imperial Extreme Qi level.

The shifty old man chuckled and stood up, saying, "I am Liu Yi, a lone cultivator. I barely managed to reach the early stage of Imperial Extreme Qi by luck. Though I am older, I cannot compare to you young talents. I hope you will look after me."

Liu Yi kept a low profile, not acting arrogant despite his age, appearing quite docile.

But Ye Yuan instinctively felt that this old man was not simple.
