Chapter 2331: Enfeoffed as Ancestor!

At the Heavenly Eagle Dao Field, the crowd was as numerous as fish crossing a river; countless alchemy masters gathered from all directions.

On the day of the lecture, the clamor of voices was deafening.

A million alchemy masters converged at Heavenly Eagle, a magnificent sight.

Of course, this was only a small portion.

More alchemy masters were still on their way.

Ye Yuan, clad in training robes, sat suspended above a massive Taiji diagram, eyes closed in meditation.

An aura of the Great Dao filled the entire space.

"Is that the Dao of the Sub-Saint? Truly profound and extensive; a single glance reveals its unfathomable depth!"

"Legend says the Sub-Saint is already the foremost in alchemy! Who would have thought he would expound the Dao to all beings, blessing countless generations—truly a sage!"

"We small fry have indeed encountered a tremendous opportunity this time."

…

For the vast majority of alchemy masters, they had no idea what it was.

Alchemy was merely alchemy.

Only a very few could enter the Dao.

But Ye Yuan's opening lecture on the Dao was a colossal opportunity for these people.

Ordinarily, let alone Ye Yuan, even a Seven-Star Divine Alchemist was beyond their reach.

Yet today, Ye Yuan's actions blessed the entire world!

The Saint Ancestor High Priest, his disciples, and a host of old ancestors were now present, listening to Ye Yuan's exposition of the Dao.

In recent days, Yi and Ye Yuan had engaged in multiple alchemy duels, neither gaining the upper hand.

And he had benefited immensely!

Ye Yuan's Dao differed from Medicine Ancestor's; Medicine Ancestor's Dao was unmatched in dominance and aggressive.

Any alchemy master who crossed him would inevitably have their Dao heart thrown off balance, and Yi had suffered deeply from it.

Ye Yuan's Dao was balanced, gentle, vast, and majestic.

In debating the Dao with Ye Yuan, Yi had unknowingly repaired his own Dao heart, and his strength advanced by leaps and bounds!

However, debating the Dao was one thing—it was merely fragmented exchanges.

But today, Ye Yuan's exposition of the Dao was a systematic elaboration of his own Dao, a display of the essence of his Great Dao.

This act was absolutely momentous for the old ancestor level, for those old fellows stuck before the Dao Pill for countless years.

Ye Yuan slowly opened his eyes and began to lecture.

"My Dao is not that Dao. Today's exposition aims to awaken your Dao hearts."

"The Great Dao is myriad; the Alchemy Dao is a special one."

"What is the Alchemy Dao? One pill, one world!"

"So today, let us begin with the Divine Essence Pill…"

…

As Ye Yuan spoke eloquently, the crowd below erupted.

The Divine Essence Pill!

The foremost alchemy master was actually talking about the Divine Essence Pill!

What was the Divine Essence Pill?

It was a first-tier divine pill, the most basic divine pill!

Alchemy masters at this level could refine a pile of them with a wave of their hand.

It was a pill for novices just entering the divine realm!

I've taken off my pants, and you show me this?

Instantly, voices of discontent, contempt, scorn, and curses arose on all sides.

Sounds nice, but this was nothing but a sham!

Yi frowned and said in a deep voice, "Silence! Anyone who makes noise again shall die!"

An overwhelming aura instantly covered the entire venue.

The wrath of a Celestial Being at the Fourth Decline was not something they could withstand.

Immediately, silence fell.

Yi snorted coldly and said, "Ye Yuan's lecture is the fortune of your lifetime! Listen well; even if you grasp only half, it will suffice for a lifetime!"

Though cowed by the Saint Ancestor High Priest's authority, they still sneered inwardly at his words.

What was there to hear about the Divine Essence Pill?

Ye Yuan paid no attention to these disturbances.

His time was limited; how much they could comprehend was up to them.

Though the Divine Essence Pill was shallow, it was the foundation of the Great Dao.

Now that he had reached the pinnacle, looking back at such a pill naturally brought a different insight.

The current Ye Yuan could casually refine a first-tier divine pill a hundred times more powerful than the Divine Essence Pill.

But why did he start with the Divine Essence Pill?

The Divine Essence Pill was a formula passed down from antiquity, tempered by countless ages—a formula refined through a thousand hammers.

Though the pill was simple, it contained the ultimate principles of the Great Dao!

Gradually, the expressions on people's faces changed.

The earlier contempt, mockery, and self-righteousness turned into shock, admiration, and thoughtful reflection.

Only then did they realize that a tiny Divine Essence Pill contained so many truths!

What Ye Yuan spoke of, they had never considered before.

He refined the Divine Essence Pill in front of everyone.

With each step, he analyzed it deeply, revealing his Dao bit by bit.

A small Taiji diagram took shape in the void.

The crowd's expressions became utterly shocked.

Yet among them, one person's shock surpassed all others.

That person was the Saint Ancestor High Priest!

"So this is his Dao! A tiny Divine Essence Pill actually conceals such a great Dao! For first-tier divine pills, we have overlooked so much; then what about second-tier, fifth-tier, eighth-tier divine pills?"

"Most geniuses are rootless duckweed. Seemingly strong, but all show and no substance. But his strength is the strength of a thousand hammers!"

"We chase after an illusory Dao, while he focuses on every little detail! Now, he has become a vast ocean!"

"I finally understand what is missing from the Dao of our two races!"

Among those present, Yi was closest to the Dao.

He felt the deepest resonance with Ye Yuan's exposition.

Their Dao had indeed built a towering mansion.

But their towering mansion was missing bricks and tiles, full of holes everywhere.

The higher such a building rose, the more dangerous it became!

Thus, his Dao had lost to Medicine Ancestor, and he had lost himself.

But even if Ye Yuan lost, he would still be the victor!

Because his Dao was too solid!

Though the other old ancestors did not feel as deeply as Yi, they still benefited greatly.

Next, using the Divine Essence Pill as a foundation, Ye Yuan gradually unfolded the entire system of first-tier divine pills.

Only then did everyone realize that all first-tier pills were interconnected in various ways.

The shock in everyone's hearts grew ever stronger!

Ye Yuan provided them with a brand-new perspective—a God's-eye view!

They now stood from God's perspective, re-examining first-tier divine pills.

Refreshing!

Enlightening!

Eye-opening!

They could no longer describe their feelings at that moment.

Ye Yuan showed them a completely new alchemy cultivation system!

If the previous alchemy Dao relied on inheritance,

then Ye Yuan's alchemy Dao was the culmination of all schools!

This was a complete, verifiable new cultivation system capable of producing countless alchemy masters!

Thus, from first-tier to second-tier, all the way to eighth-tier divine pills,

Ye Yuan gradually elaborated and expounded his cultivation system, presenting it with clear脉络 before everyone's eyes.

Many found it simple at first, but later they could no longer understand.

The further it went, the more obscure and difficult it became.

The one-year period arrived in the blink of an eye.

The moment Ye Yuan stopped his lecture, the tens of millions of strong practitioners present fell into dead silence.

Yi's gaze was profound, and he suddenly spoke, "Today, Ye Yuan shall be enfeoffed as Ancestor!"
