Chapter 2311: Crushing the Cloud Heart Realm!

Only at this moment did everyone suddenly realize that both of the Sub-Saint's disciples had made it to the finals!

It wasn't that they were weak; it was simply that their presence was too faint.

In every alchemy duel, their victories were utterly unremarkable.

Moreover, the duels took place within the Di Hao Tower, offering no direct perception.

Thus, compared to other young powerhouses, they seemed much more 'mediocre.'

Only when Yun Yi and Ning Siyu both advanced to the finals did everyone awaken as if from a dream.

It turned out that this Myriad Domain Alchemy Grand Assembly had ultimately become a showdown between the Cloud Heart Realm and the Sub-Saint.

Ning Siyu's opponent was also a powerhouse from the Cloud Heart Realm.

This shock was no small matter!

Especially the ancestral masters of the sacred lands—each was astounded to the extreme.

That the master was strong was understandable.

After all, Ye Yuan was an unprecedented genius.

But why were his disciples also so strong?

The alchemy circle of the Tongtian Realm was neither large nor small.

The top-tier young geniuses were all known by name to these ancestral masters.

The performances of those geniuses had not disappointed the ancestral masters; each was outstanding.

Yet by the finals, the ancestral masters discovered that those well-known geniuses had all fallen, one by one, defeated by Yun Yi and Ning Siyu.

The process was too bland; no one had paid attention.

It was like boiling a frog in warm water—by the time the frog realized the water was hot, it could no longer jump out.

The ancestral masters gasped in cold air, and when they looked at Ye Yuan again, it was as if they were looking at a monster.

Each was extremely puzzled, unable to understand how Ye Yuan had done it.

Even if Ye Yuan had spent nearly three thousand years training his disciples, could he have achieved such terrifying results?

After all, teaching disciples was different from cultivating oneself.

The Dao was ethereal, only to be sensed, not expressed.

A master with a high starting point could guide disciples from a commanding height.

But completely imparting one's own Dao to a disciple was utterly impossible.

So the question remained: how did Ye Yuan do it?

They naturally did not understand that Ye Yuan never spoke of vague, mysterious Zen insights for his disciples to comprehend.

His method of teaching disciples was just one word: practice!

Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will naturally become clear!

Practice again and again—practice the fundamentals.

The fundamentals that others discarded like worn-out sandals were revered as sacred canon within the Alchemy Tower.

In the Alchemy Tower, as long as one had patience and tirelessly cultivated, one's alchemy skills would never be poor.

And Yun Yi and Ning Siyu were the cream of the crop!

Of course, the Alchemy Tower was not just about endless practice.

The more they practiced, the more problems they encountered in cultivation, and Ye Yuan naturally answered each one.

In short, the Alchemy Tower had established a powerful and comprehensive alchemist training system.

But the core of this system remained hard practice.

No one could succeed casually!

That Yun Yi and Ning Siyu could become famous in a single battle was due to efforts behind the scenes that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

As for their master Ye Yuan, it was naturally even more so.

Zou Rui was extremely shocked. His strength far surpassed his peers, and he didn't care who his opponent was.

But among his imagined final opponents, Yun Yi was definitely not included.

His thoughts were the same as the world's, the same as his grandmaster's.

Ye Yuan being formidable did not mean his disciples were formidable.

But the fact was, his disciples were too formidable—they were practically copies of Ye Yuan.

"You seem surprised," Yun Yi said with a smile.

"A little, indeed. But whoever the opponent is, it's the same to me. It's just that you and your junior sister are truly shameless, deliberately hiding your strength to make your opponents underestimate you," Zou Rui said.

Yun Yi raised two fingers and smiled. "First, Senior Sister Ning is my senior sister, not my junior sister. Second, we did not deliberately hide our strength. Our master told us that every alchemist has their strengths, and we should learn from them. Including you, the same applies."

Zou Rui burst into laughter upon hearing this. "Nonsense! The strong are revered; why should the weak be senior sister? Moreover, only the strong are worth learning from; what is there to learn from the weak?"

In all sacred lands, the strong were revered.

As long as one was strong enough, one could take the place of another.

Ning Siyu was weaker than Yun Yi, yet she could be senior sister—wasn't that ridiculous?

And what was there to learn from the weak?

Only the strong had shining points!

Thus, to Zou Rui, these words were just sophistry.

Yun Yi shrugged and said indifferently, "Whatever makes you happy."

He knew others couldn't accept it; in fact, he himself couldn't accept it at first.

However, after Ye Yuan recounted his experiences in Yungao City, Yun Yi and the others realized it was indeed true.

The weaknesses of the defeated were magnified infinitely, to the point of overshadowing their strengths.

Only with a broad mind could one see the strengths in others and absorb them for one's own use.

Ye Yuan himself had walked this path, and he taught his disciples to walk it too.

Zou Rui's face darkened, and he said solemnly, "It doesn't matter. In this battle, I will make you utterly defeated!"

The final soon began. Zou Rui's strength was indeed formidable—he was practically a weakened version of Yaoshu Celestial Emperor.

Right from the start, he put immense pressure on Yun Yi.

But in this battle, Yun Yi finally revealed his full strength.

Throughout the Myriad Domain Alchemy Grand Assembly, Yun Yi had grown a great deal.

Facing the powerful Zou Rui, he did not retreat in the slightest.

The two fought for three days and three nights, and in the end, Yun Yi's pill quality barely edged out Zou Rui's!

On the other side, Ning Siyu also defeated another person from the Cloud Heart Realm by a narrow margin.

Everyone was shocked!

Although before this, the sacred lands had coveted the Medicine Ancestor's manuscript, the ancestral masters knew it was difficult.

The Cloud Heart Realm's strength was not merely due to one Medicine Ancestor.

The strength accumulated over countless years was overwhelming in any generation!

Although the Cloud Heart Realm had not acted for many years, no one doubted their power.

But they lost!

The trio of master and disciples crushed the Cloud Heart Realm!

Yaoshu Celestial Emperor was surely watching. He had once boasted before Ye Yuan that his grand-disciple was the number one among the younger generation.

Now, that boast had been slapped resoundingly!

The number one had lost!

The grandmaster lost, and the grand-disciple lost too.

No one had expected this outcome.

If Ye Yuan's victory over Yaoshu Celestial Emperor was merely his personal triumph,

then what did it mean that all three of them defeated their opponents simultaneously?

This was a comprehensive transcendence!

In a few years, with the trio soaring together, what would be left for the Cloud Heart Realm?

This trio of master and disciples had overturned the entire alchemy world's landscape.

Too terrifying!

Zou Rui was utterly dejected; he could not accept this outcome.

Before this, he had been bent on avenging his grandmaster and humiliating Yun Yi.

But who would have thought that he himself would lose!

His strength crushed his peers; he had never found an equal among them.

Yet today, he was defeated by a peer.

All his pride was shattered to pieces the moment the furnace was opened!
