Chapter 2702: Trapped in the Myriad Demon Mountains!

A Wuji Heavenly rank, instructing the Jade Emperor Heaven?

Then, breaking through three Half-Saint Emperor Heavens in one go?

So, the reason they couldn't capture Tiannan City all along was this guy?

What kind of damn logic is that!

Wasn't this Wuji Heavenly rank a bit too monstrous?

Ye Yuan had originally wanted to explain further, but he didn't expect Zhao Xun and Song Tianyang to be so cooperative, directly explaining for him.

He came from outside, so naturally he couldn't have colluded with the people in the city.

The performance of Zhao Xun and Song Tianyang was enough to prove the point.

If he could guide a peak fourth-grade celestial pharmacist to that level, naturally it was no trouble for him to refine a fourth-grade Imperial Sovereign Celestial Pill.

"It seems there's no need to explain my abilities further. If you have any other concerns, you can speak up," Ye Yuan said indifferently.

Zhao Xun and the other were completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

But it seemed that their earlier performance had greatly impressed the five great kings.

And it looked like Ye Yuan had already won them over!

Overjoyed, the two were nonetheless deeply shocked.

Sure enough, when this kid stepped in, there was nothing he couldn't accomplish!

The Myriad Manifestations King said, "You just said that Meng Hanfeng's first move after seclusion would be to settle scores with us. He has already obtained the Sacred Fate Pill and could break through at any time. Even if you don't need to reach the Saint Emperor Heaven, is the Jade Emperor Heaven something that can be achieved overnight? Don't forget, you're only at the lower Wuji Heavenly rank!"

Ye Yuan smiled and said, "May I ask the Myriad Manifestations King, if you obtained the Sacred Fate Pill, how long would it take you to break through to the Saint Emperor Heaven?"

The Myriad Manifestations King thought for a moment and said, "That Sacred Fate Pill is only third-grade. If it were me, at least thirty years, at most a hundred years, and I would definitely break through!"

In truth, he was flattering himself; even with the Sacred Fate Pill, whether they could break through to the Saint Emperor Heaven was uncertain.

After all, the efficacy of a third-grade Sacred Fate Pill was hard to guarantee.

Of course, given their Half-Saint Emperor Heaven cultivation, the chances of breaking through were still considerable.

However, although breaking through a major realm only took a few hours, the preparation time needed for those few hours was extremely long.

Ye Yuan naturally didn't expose this and asked Zhao Xun, "Great Hall Master, how long did it take me to break through from the middle Grand Ultimate Heaven to my current realm?"

Zhao Xun smiled and said, "Four years!"

He hadn't expected that after only three years away, Ye Yuan had already broken through to the Wuji Heavenly rank.

Such a cultivation speed was truly terrifying.

But thinking about it, it was only natural; Ye Yuan could refine genuine celestial pills himself, so cultivation was not complicated for him.

However, these words struck the five kings as extraordinary.

"Four years! What a joke! Do you think breaking through the Wuji Heavenly rank is like playing house?" the Mad Lion King said in disbelief.

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "If I didn't worry about unstable foundations, with my methods, I'm confident I could break through to the Jade Emperor Heaven within five years! How long do you think it would take me to break through to the Jade Emperor Heaven using that kind of celestial pill for cultivation?"

As he spoke, Ye Yuan pointed at Shuoyan.

The five kings' expressions changed, and they were already somewhat convinced.

The efficacy of that celestial pill earlier was truly too terrifying.

In just a few hours, an upper Grand Ultimate Heaven had become a lower Wuji Heavenly rank!

They needed decades to break through to the Saint Emperor Heaven even with the help of the Sacred Fate Pill!

The gap between them could not be measured in the slightest!

"Moreover, the celestial herbs needed for the Qiong Yao Saint Emperor Pill are not easy to find. I estimate that gathering the herbs alone would take you decades. During the time I cultivate, you'll probably be busy searching for the herbs. Of course, if you can gather five sets of herbs, I can guarantee that all five of you will break through to the Saint Emperor Heaven!" Ye Yuan said lightly.

"Is that true!" the five said in unison.

The Qiong Yao Saint Emperor Pill was a fourth-grade Imperial Sovereign Celestial Pill recorded in Zhong Jianchou's jade slip.

Ye Yuan had considerable confidence in its efficacy.

Even a ninth-grade version, let alone a genuine one, should be enough for these people to break through to the Saint Emperor Heaven.

But such a powerful celestial pill naturally required extremely precious celestial herbs.

The Myriad Demon Mountains were vast and rich in resources, so there was hope of gathering a few sets, but whether they could gather five sets depended on their individual fortunes.

"I am willing to swear by the name of the Heavenly Dao! However, if you cannot gather the herbs, you cannot blame me," Ye Yuan said indifferently.

"Good, I agree! But I have a condition!" the Heavenly Rat King said.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "Speak!"

The Heavenly Rat King said, "Before the Qiong Yao Saint Emperor Pill is refined, you must stay in the Myriad Demon Mountains as a hostage and not set foot outside! If you dare to leave, the five of us will join forces again to destroy Tiannan!"

Clearly, the Heavenly Rat King was very cautious.

Even though Ye Yuan had sworn by the Heavenly Dao, he still didn't trust him.

His approach was tacitly approved by the other four.

"No!" At these words, Zhao Xun and the others changed expression and immediately refused.

Ye Yuan said indifferently, "Alright, I agree."

"Ye Yuan, you..." Zhao Xun and the other looked at Ye Yuan, feeling deeply guilty.

This mess was caused by Meng Hanfeng, yet Ye Yuan had to take the blame!

Ye Yuan waved his hand and smiled, "I'm also curious about the Myriad Demon Mountains. Going there is no harm. If you have any questions about cultivation, you can come to the Myriad Demon Mountains to find me."

At this moment, Shuoyan suddenly said, "Brother Ye Yuan, rest assured, with me here, no one in the Myriad Demon Mountains dares to bully you!"

Ye Yuan laughed heartily and said, "Good, then I'll stick with you from now on!"

...

Countless true spirits retreated like a tide, leaving behind a scene of chaos and corpses strewn across the field.

But this was already the best outcome.

Watching the distant figures of the true spirit army, Zhao Xun sighed softly, "Alas! Ye Yuan is truly a man of benevolence and righteousness. If not for him, Tiannan would probably be barren!"

Wu Ji'an said hatefully, "Meng Hanfeng, that beast, actually used all of Tiannan as a bargaining chip to let himself break through to the Saint Emperor Heaven! I hope that Sacred Fate Pill is useless and he can't break through!"

Zhao Xun's eyes turned cold, and he said in a cold voice, "If he can't break through, we might never find him again in this life! It would be better if he breaks through to the Saint Emperor Heaven and then returns! Then we can take revenge together!"

Song Tianyang sighed and said, "The Myriad Demon Mountains are a place where the weak are prey to the strong, with countless powerful beings. I wonder if Ye Yuan will return safely this time!"

In the Myriad Demon Mountains, where the strong prey on the weak, even these Half-Saint Emperor Heaven kings were replaced very quickly.

One misstep, and they would be supplanted by others.

Because of this, there were many powerful beings in the Myriad Demon Mountains.

These five kings were merely a drop in the ocean.

If everything remained peaceful, these five kings naturally wouldn't do anything to him.

But once war broke out, the outcome was hard to say.

Hearing Song Tianyang's words, everyone's brows furrowed even tighter.
