Elder Jian Ge

"Yi Yun? Looking for Yi Yun!?"

Upon hearing the black-cloaked leader call out Yi Yun's name, the young talents present were all taken aback. What would such an important figure want with Yi Yun?

Although Yi Yun is outstanding, he is just a freshman and shouldn't be attracting the attention of so many important figures.

"I am." Yi Yun stepped forward and gave the Enforcement Envoy a military salute from the Tai'a Divine Kingdom.

The middle-aged man in the black cloak looked Yi Yun up and down, seemingly trying to figure out what was so special about this young man.

At less than thirteen years old, his cultivation level is already at the mid-stage of the Purple Blood realm; he's truly an unexpected little fellow.

The man in the black cloak chuckled softly and said calmly, "Come with us; the elder wishes to see you."

After speaking, the man in the black cloak turned to leave.

Behind him, Zhou Kui and the other teenagers were all dumbfounded!

What did that man in black just say?

Elder!?

What elder?

Many people hadn't reacted yet. They looked at each other in bewilderment. It seemed that... in the entire Tai'a Divine City, there were only a handful of people qualified to be called elders. Each of them was a pillar of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, a super being capable of fighting against the Ancient Remnant Species.

They are sages!

Human Race Sage who wishes to see Yi Yun?

Everyone was completely stunned; not only the teenagers, but even Qin the Bald was dumbfounded.

The elders of the Divine City actually want to see Yi Yun? This is truly... unbelievable...

In the history of Tai'a Divine City, Human Race Sage might not appear even once every five hundred years!

Qin the Bald knew perfectly well that the reason the elder wanted to see Yi Yun was definitely not because Yi Yun had stuck a few Primordial Arrow into the Purple Tungsten Steel Wall.

Yi Yun's three Primordial Arrow were indeed very well placed, but they were definitely not something the elders should pay attention to.

Leaving aside ruthless individuals like Qin Haotian, even if it were just Qiu Niu, who was also a new recruit, he could achieve something similar to Yi Yun.

In the eyes of Human Race Sage, this achievement was utterly insignificant, like fleeting clouds.

So... why does the elder want to see Yi Yun?

"Instructor Qin, I'll be leaving for a moment. Please take care of the reward matter." Yi Yun said goodbye to the Qin the Bald and turned to follow the man in the black cloak.

Qin the Bald was still stunned and didn't react, nor did he respond.

Behind Qin the Bald, Zhou Kui and his group of teenagers were even more dumbfounded. Their mouths were agape, and they couldn't close them until they watched Yi Yun leave.

Zhou Kui then suddenly remembered that before Yi Yun raised the Primordial Arrow, he had said that he was in a hurry and that someone might want to see him soon.

Zhou Kui originally thought that the person he was to see was the herb boy who had been gathering herbs with him, but now he realized that the person he was to see was actually an elder of Tai'a Divine City!

Yi Yun casually mentioned wanting to see someone, and it turned out to be an elder from the Tai'a Divine City!

Zhou Kui almost wondered if he had a mental problem.

"Instructor Qin, what... what's going on?"

When someone asked Qin the Bald, Qin the Bald shook his head, saying he didn't know either.

"Dismissed!" Qin the Bald waved his hand.

Yi Yun's summons by the elders was a major event in the recruit camp. Qin the Bald had no idea what Yi Yun had done to alarm the elders.

He planned to ask the Woman surnamed Wang for some information later.

Meanwhile, Yi Yun had already arrived at the Central Divine Tower with the Enforcement Envoy.

The enormous and majestic Central Divine Tower. Even though Yi Yun had seen it many times, he was still awestruck by its grandeur.

It resembles a majestic mountain. Those originally enormous Floating Sky Ship, upon reaching the Central Divine Tower, appear as tiny as flying insects.

The man in the black cloak said, "There are five elders in the Tai'a Divine City. The one you will see in a moment is Elder Jian Ge! Elder Jian Ge is currently in the Earth Fire Alchemy Room of the Central Divine Tower."

As the man in the black cloak spoke, he led Yi Yun into the Central Divine Tower. The main hall of this Central Divine Tower was as high as a five-story building, and walking inside made one feel extremely small.

On both sides of the passageway are huge murals and reliefs, and underfoot are flat floor tiles.

These floor tiles were jet black and so shiny they could reflect a person's image. Stepping on them, Yi Yun felt his blood circulation accelerate, as if his own blood and energy were connected to the tiles.

These floor tiles...

Yi Yun suddenly recalled the description of the Central Divine Tower in the classic text "Divine Wilderness," which stated that the floor tiles used to build the Central Divine Tower were specially fired.

These floor tiles are three feet three inches long and wide, and three inches and three-tenths of an inch thick. They are flat, smooth, and as hard as iron. They have a special name: Beast Blood Black-Green Bricks.

Both "xuan" and "qing" describe the color black, while "beast blood" refers to the fact that the blood of wild beasts is sprinkled into the kiln as a sacrifice when each batch of bricks is fired.

It's hard to imagine how much blood of wild beasts was used to build this Central Divine Tower.

Using the beast Blood Sacrifice furnace allows the fired bricks to be infused with the power of blood and qi. Combined with the careful arrangement of the array master, the entire Central Divine Tower becomes a huge magic weapon, which can gather the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi and earth within a million miles around the divine wilderness.

It can be said that the Central Divine Tower was built at the height of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom's power, at a great cost of financial and material resources, and it is a symbol of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom!

The man in the black cloak pushed open a heavy stone door, revealing a spiral staircase descending from behind it.

"Come with me."

As the man in the black cloak spoke, he walked down the spiral staircase. The staircase wasn't wide, only wide enough for four or five people to walk side by side. Yi Yun guessed that it was probably just a small passage leading underground.

However, Elder Jian Ge did not live at the top of the Central Divine Tower, but rather underground, which disappointed Yi Yun.

In fact, Yi Yun really wanted to go to the ninetieth floor and above of the Central Divine Tower to see the legendary Heaven-grade Rooms!

In the minds of the trial participants of Tai'a Divine City, the Heaven-grade Rooms is synonymous with mystery and supreme power.

Let alone ordinary trial participants, even someone like Qin Haotian, who spent six years in the Tai'a Divine City trial, might not be qualified to stay in Heaven-grade Rooms!

The spiral staircase leading downwards seemed to have no end. On both sides of the wall, there were lamps that burned continuously. Yi Yun estimated that he had walked down at least a hundred meters before finally arriving at a large metal door.

The metal gate was engraved with various intricate patterns. A man in a black cloak stood before the gate, bowed, and said, "Elder Jian Ge, Yi Yun has arrived."

"Um..."

A deep voice came from within the gate, without any imposing force, yet the voice lingered and echoed in my ears.

Yi Yun held his breath; he was still a little nervous about this audience with the elder.

The door opened by itself without anyone pushing it.

A wave of air rushed towards us.

Hot!

This was Yi Yun's first impression. Before him stood the Earth Fire Alchemy Room, with an alchemy furnace that looked like it was cast from a metal called brass, standing in the center of the hall.

This alchemy furnace is taller than a person, and its surface is decorated with patterns of flowers, birds, insects, and fish.

Beneath the furnace, a bluish flame burned quietly, barely flickering; this was probably what was known as "earth fire."

Beneath the Central Divine Tower lies a great earth fire array, which gathers the flames of the Divine Wilderness here for the elders to refine elixirs!

Directly in front of the alchemy furnace stood an old man in a blue robe. He had an ordinary appearance and a slightly thin build, so much so that his blue alchemy robe looked loose and baggy.

Behind the old man in the blue robe was a sword, which was wrapped with strips of cloth, revealing only a section of the ancient hilt, making it hard to imagine what the sword looked like.

The old man seemed to have been in the Earth Fire Alchemy Room for quite some time; there was even a hint of fatigue in his eyes, giving him a rather listless appearance.

It's hard to imagine that this seemingly ordinary old man, who even looks a bit sleepy, is one of the top experts in the entire Tai'a Divine Kingdom!

"Elder Jian Ge, Yi Yun has arrived." The man in the black cloak bowed, then silently withdrew and closed the door.

For a moment, the entire alchemy room contained only Yi Yun and the old man in the green robe.

Yi Yun held his breath!

He told himself to stay calm, but his heart was still racing.

He had seen many powerful wild beasts before, but Yi Yun had never felt any fear in the face of them. However, in front of this old man, who did nothing and even looked listless, Yi Yun felt a tremendous pressure, as if a mortal and a tiger were locked in the same cage.

"You're Yi Yun?"

The old man in the green robe murmured softly. His eyes, which had been half-closed, suddenly opened, and Yi Yun's image was reflected in his dark pupils.

Like a mirror, Yi Yun could clearly see every expression of his own in those pupils.

Yi Yun's mind tightened instantly!

He felt as if those eyes had seen right through him.

Every inch of his flesh and blood, every inch of his skin, his dantian, his internal organs, his 360 acupoints, his twelve regular meridians, and his eight extraordinary meridians were all seen by the old man!

Tianmu...

Yi Yun was shocked; he wished his heart would stop beating at that moment.

However, contrary to expectations, Yi Yun's heart started beating faster and faster.

Inside his heart, the Purple Crystal continued to pulsate with each heartbeat, and Yi Yun's palms were sweaty.

Purple Crystal did not react to the old man in the blue robe's visit.

However, the old man in the green robe also sensed the Purple Crystal without lingering on it.

The old man in the green robe carefully examined Yi Yun several times, truly seeing through him inside and out. However, he clearly did not detect the presence of the Purple Crystal when he scanned Yi Yun's heart several times.

Finally, the old man in the blue robe withdrew his senses.

In just a few seconds, Yi Yun felt as if he had fought a great battle. It was so exhausting, even more tiring than capturing the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng!

The old man in the blue robe looked at Yi Yun with some surprise in his eyes, "You've condensed the Heavenly Eye Bead?"

The old man in the green robe possessed incredibly keen senses; naturally, he didn't miss the fact that Yi Yun was condensing the Heavenly Eye Bead. (To be continued~^~)
