Chapter 974: Someone from the Demon Clan Arrives

"Unity of heaven and man! It's actually unity of heaven and man! In the Divine Realm, those who have achieved unity of heaven and man in their state of mind can be counted on one hand! This kid has actually comprehended unity of heaven and man!"

"Unity of heaven and man, resonating with the Great Dao, allows one to merge with heaven and earth! Ye Yuan is only in his twenties—how did he cultivate to this level?"

"No wonder he could break the illusion of the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye; he had actually comprehended unity of heaven and man!"

A group of Divine Kings stared at Ye Yuan in shock, unable to believe what they had just witnessed.

Unity of heaven and man had not appeared in the Divine Realm for many years, yet today it manifested in a young man in his twenties—it was simply incredible.

The state of mind is even harder to cultivate than artistic conception.

Although artistic conception is difficult, with enough time, one can still gain some insight.

Most Divine Kings possess their own supreme true intent, but few can break through to a heart as firm as a rock in terms of mental cultivation, let alone achieve unity of heaven and man.

The state of mind is too ethereal and elusive to grasp.

There are countless cultivation techniques in the Divine Realm, but none are known for cultivating the state of mind.

"Zhou Jia, what do you have to say now? Can the state of mind of unity of heaven and man break illusions?" Yue Jianqiu sneered.

Zhou Jia's expression was extremely ugly. He never imagined that Ye Yuan could comprehend unity of heaven and man!

This had turned into a huge joke.

People knew unity of heaven and man was powerful, but few knew exactly how powerful.

Even Zhou Jia didn't know that Ye Yuan's unity of heaven and man couldn't help others break illusions.

But without a doubt, the higher one's state of mind, the stronger one's immunity to illusions.

The realm of unity of heaven and man had been achieved by very few in the Divine Realm. So in people's eyes, it must be extremely powerful and should be able to help others break illusions.

Zhou Jia took a deep breath, knowing that today's proceedings could not continue. He said solemnly, "Fine, this matter is our Zhou family's fault. Brother Yue, the Zhou family will make amends later. Let's go!"

With that, Zhou Jia led the group of Divine Kings away like a gust of wind.

Today, the Zhou family had lost all face in Brightmoon City.

After today's events, the honeymoon period between the Zhou and Yue families was likely over. How these two first-rate holy lands would interact from now on was something worth pondering.

...

At the Yue residence, a group of Divine Kings stared intently at Ye Yuan as if looking at a monster.

Fusing supreme true intent and achieving unity of heaven and man—Ye Yuan's comprehension was simply terrifying.

"Ye Yuan, why didn't you tell us earlier that you had comprehended unity of heaven and man?" Yue Jianqiu said with a wry smile.

Ye Yuan shrugged. "You never asked. Besides, weren't you all concerned about the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye? As soon as I returned, didn't you go into seclusion to discuss it? Actually, in the secret realm, I was also caught in an illusion. If I hadn't comprehended unity of heaven and man, I would have been doomed myself."

The crowd exchanged glances, realizing that the Yue family's actions couldn't be hidden from this shrewd young man.

"So you really didn't obtain the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye?" Yue Jianqiu asked.

Ye Yuan said helplessly, "You don't even know what form the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye takes, so how could I? It once accompanied a Divine Realm powerhouse. Do you really think it's that easy to obtain? Just breaking the illusion cost me dearly; I had no strength left to subdue it."

The crowd exchanged glances again, realizing that Ye Yuan's words made sense.

In the past hundred thousand years, no one had even seen the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye, let alone subdued it.

"You little rascal, you lie without changing expression, almost making me believe it myself. But at least you have some sense, knowing I'm not to be trifled with!" In Ye Yuan's sea of consciousness, the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye howled.

Ye Yuan had the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye restrain itself, making his eyes look no different from an ordinary person's. So no one could discern anything from his eyes.

But Ye Yuan said calmly, "Not to be trifled with? And yet you're obediently suppressed by me? Put away your pride. You'd better behave, or you know the consequences."

The Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye said lazily, "Hey, if you wanted to kill me, you'd have done it long ago. Why wait until now?"

"You come from the ancient era and must know many secrets. Killing you would be a pity. But... I'm not as easygoing as you think. If you don't believe me, feel free to try."

Ye Yuan's tone remained calm, but the killing intent in his words sent a chill down the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye's spine.

Its pupils contracted, and it dared not speak.

It had been observing Ye Yuan these past days and knew he was decisive in killing. His words were no empty threat.

If it harbored any ill intentions, Ye Yuan would not hesitate to destroy it.

"In fact, I've already given you a chance. If you remain stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye was stunned, and Ye Yuan's words made its heart race.

"This kid is too shrewd; nothing escapes him!" the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye cursed inwardly.

As soon as Ye Yuan spoke, the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye knew what he was referring to.

In fact, that day, its transformation of Ye Yuan's eyes was incomplete and carried a huge隐患. If Ye Yuan continued to use its pupil power, his eyes would eventually suffer immense strain.

Then, the opportunity for the Sun-Moon Heavenly Eye to break free would come.

It had thought the matter was handled flawlessly, but Ye Yuan had already detected it.

How could it know that Ye Yuan was not only a martial arts expert but also unfathomably skilled in alchemy?

It could fool others about the eyes, but not Ye Yuan.

"It seems we were the ones being petty! Ye Yuan, just stay in the Yue residence. As long as I, Yue Jianqiu, am here, the Zhou family won't dare touch you!" Yue Jianqiu said.

Just then, someone came to report.

"Patriarch, someone outside requests to see the young master. He says he is... from the Demon Clan."

"Demon Clan?"

Yue Jianqiu was surprised. Ye Yuan had connections with the Demon Clan?

Ye Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly had the person brought in.

But upon seeing the visitor, Ye Yuan was disappointed.

He had thought it was Bai Guang, but he didn't recognize the middle-aged man before him.

The middle-aged man also sized up Ye Yuan, a look of disappointment in his eyes.

"Who are you, and what business do you have with me?" Ye Yuan asked.

The man, showing contempt, replied with slight arrogance, "I am Bai Po. Young Master Bai Guang sent me to find Mr. Ye."
