Chapter 864: Turning Around

"My Master Ye, please stop your prophecies!" Yan Jun said, still shaken.

The moment Ye Yuan spoke, everyone was startled. Whatever he said came true; if his jinx continued, they feared he might even summon a Divine Realm expert.

Ye Yuan blinked twice, signaling he would stop, and Yan Jun sighed in relief, releasing his grip.

Ye Yuan looked innocent. "I was just kindly warning you all. Was that so wrong?"

"Yes!" Yan Jun and Liu Yusheng said in unison.

Having scared off Tan Si, the group finally resumed their journey.

Most of the experts in this area had been killed by Tan Si. The road ahead was much easier, with no one causing trouble.

And because Ye Yuan hadn't finished his last sentence, Tan Si didn't come looking for trouble either.

However, Liu Yusheng remained on high alert throughout the journey, ready for a sneak attack from Tan Si.

Although Ye Yuan hadn't finished his words, Liu Yusheng took them to heart.

He dared not let his guard down against an expert like Tan Si.

Without the Spirit Profound Synchronization Array, he would surely be killed in an instant.

But for some reason, Tan Si never appeared again.

In truth, Tan Si had indeed been around. He had followed the caravan closely and even attempted an ambush once, but each time he was driven back by a faint spiritual sense.

His actions couldn't escape Ye Yuan's notice; Ye Yuan merely used his spiritual sense to warn him not to act rashly.

Tan Si then confirmed that there was definitely an expert in the caravan stronger than himself!

The other party didn't want to reveal their identity, so they warned him this way. If he didn't know his place, they would likely kill him.

Tan Si was a ruthless killer, but that didn't mean he wasn't afraid of death.

He wouldn't do something as foolish as throwing an egg against a rock.

Although Ye Yuan disapproved of Tan Si's habit of killing everyone he saw, he wasn't rigid. There were too many people like Tan Si in the Chaotic Demon Sea; they couldn't all be killed.

Since Tan Si knew his place, Ye Yuan couldn't be bothered to deal with him.

After that, Ye Yuan used Xiao Huo to create a clone and left it in the carriage, while he himself entered the Haotian Tower to cultivate.

Speaking of which, Ye Yuan's realm had advanced quite rapidly over the past two years, but his comprehension of artistic conception had slowed down.

With a rare moment of leisure, Ye Yuan naturally didn't want to waste it.

In the consciousness space of the Haotian Stele, Ye Yuan frowned deeply and muttered to himself, "How exactly do I cross the final step of the Scorching Supreme True Intent? No wonder Ling Zhe is so formidable; this Scorching True Intent is indeed not easy to comprehend!"

Ye Yuan's comprehension of the Scorching Supreme True Intent had reached the final step.

The feeling was clearly within reach, but Ye Yuan couldn't grasp that last point.

Legend has it that when the Scorching Supreme True Intent is cultivated to its peak, it can incinerate all things and be indestructible, showing how powerful this supreme true intent is.

But the more powerful something is, the harder it is to comprehend.

Ye Yuan had immersed himself in this path for several years and, with the help of the Haotian Stele, had reached his current level.

However, breaking through this final barrier was not so easy.

In this consciousness space, Ye Yuan had endured countless hardships, but for this last step, he saw no hope in sight.

Ye Yuan suddenly slapped his forehead and said in frustration, "How could I be so stupid! The martial techniques inherent in the Lingzhe Nine Suns Divine Art already contain the essence of fire within them. That Lingzhe fellow also comprehended the supreme true intent by practicing martial techniques. And here I am, refusing to take the shortcut—am I not being utterly foolish?"

It was also because Ye Yuan's comprehension was too high; along the way, he had mostly comprehended supreme true intent on his own and created his own martial techniques.

Later on, he rarely used the techniques inherent in the Lingzhe Nine Suns Divine Art anymore.

Once this habit was formed, it became a great inertia, making Ye Yuan disdainful of learning from the strengths of other martial techniques.

Little did he know that later generations always stand on the shoulders of their predecessors.

As a divine art, how could the power of the martial techniques inherent in the Lingzhe Nine Suns Divine Art be ordinary?

If he practiced this series of martial techniques to the state of great perfection, Ye Yuan's Scorching True Intent would naturally be achieved!

Following martial techniques to comprehend supreme true intent was far easier than comprehending it out of thin air.

Ye Yuan took a deep breath, withdrew his consciousness from the Haotian Stele, and began to ponder the techniques of the Lingzhe Nine Suns Divine Art.

Starting from the first move, Absolute Yang Finger, Ye Yuan slowly sorted out the脉络 of this set of martial techniques.

With his current comprehension of Scorching True Intent and Transmission True Intent, he gained new insights when he re-understood these martial techniques.

As a divine art, the Lingzhe Nine Suns Divine Art was inherently consistent, and its martial techniques were naturally consistent as well.

Ye Yuan recalled his insights into true intent and discovered that this series of martial techniques was created along the developmental thread of true intent.

"Fourth layer, Heavenly Flame Palm!"

"Fifth layer, Returning Origin Fire!"

"Sixth layer, hmm... Void Flame Seal!"

Ye Yuan was surprised to find that practicing the martial techniques of the Lingzhe Nine Suns Divine Art to the sixth layer had already reached the level of supreme true intent!

Didn't that mean that if he had just practiced step by step, he would have already comprehended supreme true intent?

This discovery made Ye Yuan smile bitterly. He truly sat on a treasure mountain without knowing it!

The martial techniques of the last three layers each corresponded to third-order supreme true intent.

As long as Ye Yuan fully comprehended the ultimate mystery, Nine Suns Burning Heaven, mastering ninth-order Scorching Supreme True Intent would naturally be no problem.

Actually, this really couldn't be blamed on Ye Yuan. His insights in the way of the sword were too strong, so much so that the martial techniques he created were even more powerful than the moves of the Lingzhe Nine Suns Divine Art.

Of course, the prerequisite was that Ye Yuan's comprehension of sword-based supreme true intent had already reached the fifth order!

"Suddenly turning back, I saw that person in the dimming lantern light! I've been charging forward all along, neglecting the scenery behind me!" Ye Yuan sighed.

No one is immune to making mistakes, and Ye Yuan was no exception.

Ye Yuan was too confident in his own comprehension, but he didn't realize that his insights in the martial way had only just begun ten years ago.

Without the sedimentation of time, how could these extremely profound supreme true intents be so easy to comprehend?

Lingzhe Divine King was indeed strong, but the time he had immersed in this path was something Ye Yuan could never catch up to!

Having figured out this link, Ye Yuan no longer hesitated and began to practice the supporting martial techniques of the Lingzhe Nine Suns Divine Art anew.

Ye Yuan did not slack off; he started practicing from the first layer, Absolute Yang Finger.

This was a complete martial technique system; missing any single link could greatly affect the comprehension of later stages.

With Ye Yuan's experience, he naturally wouldn't make a mistake in this regard.

But when he actually began to practice this martial technique, he still found that he had thought it too simple.
