Chapter 2855: Yang Qing Rises!

I destroy you, but it has nothing to do with you.

This is a sad story!

The storm outside had nothing to do with Ye Yuan, even though it was all caused by him.

Ye Yuan's seclusion lasted ten years!

In those ten years, Ye Yuan carefully studied all the alchemy classics he could access on the sixth floor.

He benefited immensely!

Mystic grade was indeed another realm!

Ye Yuan's understanding of the Dao of alchemy had taken shape long ago.

One pill, one world.

But worlds also have their hierarchies, just as the Thirty-Three Heavens and the myriad planes are worlds of different levels.

A Mystic-grade heavenly pill was still a heavenly pill, but its level was entirely different.

It was as if the original small world had been forcibly elevated to a higher level!

The medicinal properties of a heavenly pill were naturally incomparable.

When Ye Yuan emerged from seclusion, the once-prodigy Lü Daoyi had long faded into obscurity.

Among those True Sovereign Heaven experts he had defeated, some had already stepped into the Emperor realm!

Many of his peers had also broken through to True Sovereign Heaven and joined the ranks of sixth-grade celestial alchemists.

However, news of Ye Yuan's breakthrough to Mystic grade was ultimately kept within a certain scope.

Why?

Because no one took him as a disciple.

Logically, a genius of such brilliance should have been taken in by at least an elder of the Aurora Pavilion, or even a Dominance Realm expert.

But no!

The reason was simple: Ye Yuan was a rebel cultivator!

A man doomed to die, a man fated never to step into the Dominance Realm, was not worth attention.

No matter how talented you were!

Outsiders naturally did not know that all the top brass of the sect had once scrambled to take him as a disciple.

They were even less aware that Cloud Mountain Dominance had already accepted him as a disciple.

Thus, in the eyes of many, the sect was deliberately suppressing Ye Yuan!

Because such an unprecedented event had elicited no reaction from the sect at all.

Think about it: a waste who could never break through to the Dominance Realm had turned a genius with the potential to become a Dominance Realm expert into a waste.

How outrageous!

So as soon as Ye Yuan emerged from seclusion, he was met with all kinds of strange looks.

"This guy is just occupying the latrine without shitting!"

"Who says otherwise? He can't become a Dominance Realm expert himself, yet he ruins others' chances. He can't walk, so he makes sure no one else can either!"

"Lü Daoyi is completely finished—no progress in ten years! Alas, a promising seedling for the Dominance Realm, destroyed by him!"

...

Hearing these remarks, Ye Yuan was taken aback.

Who was Lü Daoyi?

What did his ruin have to do with me?

In Ye Yuan's eyes, Lü Daoyi was just an insignificant nobody; he couldn't even be bothered to remember him.

"Ye Yuan, you're finally out! Haha, you have no idea how impressive I've been these ten years you were in seclusion!" Just as Ye Yuan was stunned, a loud laugh rang out. Without looking, he knew it was Yang Qing.

Sure enough, upon hearing that Ye Yuan had emerged, Yang Qing came over with Big Yellow, Xiao Qing, and Jing Fei.

Yang Qing had also joined the Ultimate Pill Sect and become a disciple.

As for Jing Fei and the other two, because they were of the True Spirit lineage, they resided on Xuanyang Peak as servants.

Yang Qing was as cocky as ever.

Ye Yuan ignored him and asked, "They all say I ruined Lü Daoyi. Who is Lü Daoyi?"

At these words, the whole place fell into dead silence.

So you ruined the guy and don't even know who he is?

That's going too far!

Yang Qing also looked at him oddly. "Are you really clueless, or are you pretending?"

Ye Yuan said helplessly, "I went into seclusion as soon as I joined the sect, as you know. When did I ever ruin Lü Daoyi?"

Yang Qing said, dumbfounded, "You forgot? Before you went into seclusion, the Qinshan lineage came to challenge you?"

At that, Ye Yuan remembered.

Seemed like there was indeed such a thing.

"Oh, him? But I never agreed to a pill duel with him. How did I ruin him?" Ye Yuan said, exasperated.

Yang Qing laughed heartily. "Isn't it because you broke through to Mystic grade? You don't know how big a stir it caused throughout the sect when you broke through ten years ago! Lü Daoyi considered himself number one among the fifth grade, even aiming to catch up to Ancestor Songquan, but you dealt him a heavy blow! I heard that when he got news of your breakthrough, he spat blood on the spot and spent two years just getting out of bed. The remaining eight years, he was like a walking corpse, making no progress in ten years! Tell me, if it's not your fault, whose is it?"

Ye Yuan's face twitched. What did that have to do with me?

With such weak spirit, he wanted to catch up to Senior Brother Songquan?

Though Ye Yuan didn't know Zhou Songquan's past, he believed Zhou Songquan would never be so fragile.

The stronger your opponent, the stronger you should become.

I didn't even make a move, and you collapsed. And you think you can break through to the Dominance Realm?

Ye Yuan waved his hand, directly filtering out Lü Daoyi, and turned to size up Yang Qing. "Looks like you've done well these ten years!"

Many nearby Ultimate Pill Sect disciples nearly fell over.

This guy was too arrogant!

Couldn't he at least show some guilt?

He had ruined a seedling for the Dominance Realm!

Yang Qing, hearing himself mentioned, immediately became animated. "Of course! Your big brother here is now a personal disciple of a Deva Realm expert! By seniority, you should call me 'Uncle Master'!"

Ye Yuan looked at him oddly. "Oh? Which Deva Realm expert was blind enough to take you as a disciple?"

The surroundings fell silent again.

Are you asking for death?

You're just a mere Saint Sovereign Heaven, daring to say a Deva Realm expert is blind?

Yang Qing snorted. "In these ten years, I've swept through the True Sovereign Heaven realm! Now, I've broken into the top fifty on the True Sovereign Ranking! I've even challenged all the True Sovereign Heaven Great Perfection experts! My outstanding performance caught the eye of many Emperor realm experts. Several Divine Might Heaven experts wanted to take me as a disciple, but Jiaze Great Emperor Venerable snatched me away!"

Great Emperor Venerable was the honorific for Deva Realm experts.

Yang Qing's ranking wasn't so extraordinary that it would naturally attract a Great Emperor Venerable's favor.

But in these ten years, his progress had been the fastest among the sect's martial artists.

Bar none!

Yang Qing's talent was indeed terrifying.

Yuqing Continent had limited his talent.

Entering a Dominance-level sect like the Ultimate Pill Sect, his talent quickly exploded!

In these ten years, Yang Qing's comprehension of the Great Dao had advanced rapidly.

From being ignored at first, to standing out, to sweeping through True Sovereign Heaven—it took him only ten years!

In ten years, his cultivation level only rose to mid-stage True Sovereign Heaven peak, but his combat power was off the charts!

He had almost swept through all True Sovereign Heaven Great Perfection experts!

His ranking on the True Sovereign Ranking had jumped from a few thousand to the top fifty!

To think, in a major sect like the Ultimate Pill Sect, being in the top fifty was terrifying!

Hearing this, Ye Yuan wasn't surprised.

He knew Yang Qing was extremely talented, in martial arts even rivaling himself.

Of course, he didn't have Ye Yuan's great fortune, so his combat power was far inferior.

But joining the Ultimate Pill Sect made up for his lack of fortune.

Here, there was no shortage of heavenly pills, techniques, martial skills, or opponents—nothing was lacking!

Thus, his talent began to shine.

Yang Qing liked to brag, but sometimes he wasn't just blowing hot air.

"Yang Qing, you still have the mind to show off in front of a waste? Hah, if I were you, I'd pack up and run! That way, you might have a sliver of hope!" Just as Yang Qing was beaming, a mocking voice rang in their ears.
