Above the Divine Lord

The Purple Gold Medicine Saint also flew away. He, Ou Mingyin, and the Danxin Old Ancestor flew out of the great formation together. However, they only flew a short distance before they realized something was wrong. The surrounding space seemed to be locked.

"Um?"

The three great medicine masters' expressions turned cold as they saw a lewd old man who had sealed off this space, and he leisurely strolled out.

"What do you mean?" Ou Mingyin questioned.

"Danxin Old Ancestor, have you forgotten something?" the old snake said slowly.

"What?" An ominous premonition rose in the heart of the Danxin Old Ancestor.

"Shouldn't you stay and make that bet with Yi Yun?"

"Huh!? What nonsense are you talking about!" Danxin Old Ancestor was furious. When he entered the formation, he did have a bet with Yi Yun, betting fifty catties of Purple Spirit Medicine Soil against all the books left by the Medicine God, as well as the Medicine God Cauldron. However, the content of the bet was not about who could repair the great formation—at that time, the great formation had not yet collapsed. Instead, it was a two-hundred-year limit, and whoever completed the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation first would win.

Yi Yun hasn't even completed the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation yet; he's only repaired it. And the two-hundred-year deadline hasn't even passed, yet this old man is already asking for the Purple Spirit Medicine Soil.

"I haven't lost the bet yet, and you're already trying to rob me?"

"Hey, are you kidding me? Two hundred years from now, who knows where you'll be? Besides, isn't the outcome already obvious? It's only a matter of time before Yi Yun completes the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation, while you've already given up. You can leave your medicinal soil behind."

As the old snake spoke, it suddenly attacked!

He pressed his palm down towards the Danxin Old Ancestor, directly towards the Danxin Old Ancestor's heart.

At this moment, the Old Man Black Stone and the High Priest of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom also arrived, but they did not stop the battle.

"Boom!"

The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi suddenly tightened, like a cage, directly enveloping Danxin Old Ancestor.

Ou Mingyin and the Purple Gold Medicine Saint were separated by the old snake.

In an instant, the Danxin Old Ancestor felt a strong sense of life and death crisis. This lewd old man in front of him could really take his life!

As an alchemist, Danxin Old Ancestor was not considered strong among martial artists of the same realm, and his strength was far inferior to that of the old snake. Moreover, he had previously suffered great losses and had his fire seed taken away, which damaged his spirit. With the balance of power shifting, this battle was a foregone conclusion. Seeing that neither Ou Mingyin nor the Purple Gold Medicine Saint had any intention of making a move, Danxin Old Ancestor did not believe that he had any chance of defeating the old snake.

Once he dies, not only will he lose fifty catties of Purple Spirit Medicine Soil, but all his possessions will be taken by this old man.

"Boom!"

Danxin Old Ancestor forcefully blocked the old snake's palm strike, but the old snake's palm force was too domineering. Not only was it domineering, but it was also like a venomous snake, specifically targeting Danxin Old Ancestor's weak points.

"Puff!"

Danxin Old Ancestor coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward as if his string had been cut. At that moment, the old snake's palm pressed down on Danxin Old Ancestor's crown chakra once more!

Once the soul sea is destroyed, even a god cannot save him; even if the Danxin Old Ancestor doesn't die, he will become an idiot.

At this critical moment of life and death, Danxin Old Ancestor roared, "Wait!"

Danxin Old Ancestor retreated rapidly, simultaneously throwing out a Space Ring to distance himself from the old snake. "The Purple Spirit Medicine Soil you wanted!"

The old snake grabbed the Space Ring and examined it. He probed it with his spiritual power and confirmed that it was indeed filled with Purple Spirit Medicine Soil.

The old snake gave Danxin Old Ancestor a sinister look, calculating the price of killing the old man.

For the old snake, there was naturally no burden, but the Nine Li Witch Kingdom clearly did not want such a thing to happen.

Previously, Yi Yun the fire seeds of Danxin Old Ancestor and others was an eye for an eye, which was understandable. However, killing the three Medicine Saints here would be going too far. People would spread rumors that the Nine Li Witch Kingdom's Medicine Nurturing Great Formation was unstable, and that it had summoned alchemists from all over the world for help, only to turn around and kill the Medicine Saints with malicious intent. In that case, the Nine Li Witch Kingdom would likely become enemies with all alchemists, and it would be difficult for any martial artist to dare to come to the Nine Li Witch Kingdom again.

Considering that the Nine Li Witch Kingdom had treated Yi Yun quite well before, the old snake decided to give up.

Although these three harbored resentment and murderous intent towards Yi Yun, Old Snake believed that it wouldn't be long before Yi Yun would have the means to protect himself in front of them.

Danxin Old Ancestor and the others retreated just like that, and the old snake casually left the Purple Spirit Medicine Soil on the small island at the core of the great formation.

"Kid, I've left you the medicinal soil you wanted. This old man's going out for a stroll. You can take your time studying the grand formation."

As the old snake spoke, it vanished in a flash.

Yi Yun needed a long time to study the grand formation, and the old snake didn't want to stay in the God Descending Tower anymore; it was too boring.

In fact, the old snake still harbored some thoughts, hoping to find a way to heal his internal injuries. To find these things, he had to venture into some dangerous places, many of which Yi Yun was not capable of venturing into.

"Please be careful, senior."

Inside the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation, Yi Yun watched the old snake leave. For Yi Yun, helping the old snake at this stage was impossible. He could only silently remember the old snake's kindness and repay it when he was able to in the future.

As the formation grew calmer, everything became orderly.

Yi Yun retrieved the Purple Spirit Medicine Soil and planted the Abyssal Red Lotus Purple Spirit Medicine Soil. This Medicine Nurturing Great Formation was itself a place rich in fire-elemental laws, making it perfect for cultivating the Abyssal Red Lotus. With the Method of Nourishing Medicine left by the Medicine God, Yi Yun was confident that he could make the Abyss Abyssal Red Lotus survive.

Yi Yun was not in a hurry to leave the formation. He knew that the completion of this Medicine Nurturing Great Formation would take a long time, so he could stay here and comprehend the formation while cultivating.

The people of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom had all left, and the great formation became empty and quiet, as if isolated from the world.

Time passed slowly, and several years went by. One day, Yi Yun replaced the Kanglong Ding with the Medicine God Cauldron.

This is, after all, a grand formation set up by the God of Medicine. Although the Kanglong Ding is powerful, the Medicine God Cauldron is still more suitable in terms of compatibility.

Moreover, the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation is now operating stably, and much of the accumulation will take time to complete. Yi Yun doesn't want to wait here any longer.

Through this period of cultivation, Yi Yun's cultivation level has been slowly improving, and he has stabilized at the early stage of the Venerable realm.

However, Yi Yun had already been in seclusion for too long, and continuing in seclusion would not yield significant results. He felt it was time for him to emerge from Yi Yun, as improving his cultivation was the most important thing for him.

Besides, Yi Yun was also constantly worried about Lin Xin Tong, wondering how Lin Xin Tong was doing in the Baiyue Divine Kingdom.

Having arrived in the Nine Li Witch Kingdom, Yi Yun was now very close to the Baiyue Divine Kingdom.

His desire to find Lin Xin Tong grew stronger and stronger.

However, the Baiyue Divine Kingdom is a colossal entity, and Bai Yueyin is even more mysterious and unpredictable. Only now that Yi Yun has advanced to the Venerable Realm does he have some confidence to go to the Baiyue Divine Kingdom to find Lin Xin Tong.

Outside the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation, the Nine Li Witch Maiden often come here.

With the departure of the pharmacists, the Nine Li Witch Kingdom closed its borders again, restoring its former tranquility.

Looking at this Medicine Nurturing Great Formation, the Nine Li Witch Maiden felt a sense of peace.

On this day, a figure suddenly rushed out from within the great formation.

After several years, Yi Yun finally left the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation.

"Young Master Yi," the Nine Li Witch Maiden said with a faint smile in her beautiful eyes, "You've worked hard."

"This is an agreement, Your Highness the Witch Maiden, there's no need to be so polite," Yi Yun said.

The Nine Li Witch Maiden looked at Yi Yun. After several years, Yi Yun had become even more radiant and refined. At first glance, he looked like an ordinary young master with no cultivation, but his temperament was incomparably otherworldly.

"Young Master's cultivation seems to have deepened further," said the Nine Li Witch Maiden.

Yi Yun smiled slightly, then asked, "I wonder what Your Highness the Witch Maiden, knows about the Baiyue Divine Kingdom?"

"The Baiyue Divine Kingdom? Historically speaking, the Baiyue Divine Kingdom hasn't been established for very long, but the Baiyue Empress has lived for far too long. She knows far too many secrets, and the Baiyue Divine Kingdom she founded is one of the most powerful forces in the Void. I greatly admire the Baiyue Divine Kingdom, and if I had the chance, I would love to meet her. However, the Baiyue Empress hasn't appeared for tens of millions of years. Rumor has it that Baiyue Empress is undergoing a great tribulation in some hidden place."

"Oh? Does Your Highness the Witch Maiden know what level of cultivation Baiyue Empress possesses?"

"She must be a God-King, and she has been a God-King for who knows how long." The Nine Li Witch Maiden sighed. The God-King realm is something that countless people yearn for. Once one becomes a God-King, their lifespan is calculated in hundreds of millions of years, and they possess power that is unimaginable to ordinary martial artists.

"Does Your Highness the Witch Maiden know how many God-Kings there are in the Ruins of Return?" Yi Yun asked, a question he had long been curious about.

"I don't know." The Nine Li Witch Maiden shook her head. "If we only consider the last tens of millions of years, we haven't heard of anyone becoming a God-King. But the history of Guixu is too long. Some God-Kings have lived from ancient times to the present. These God-Kings are unknown, let alone being sought out. Their very existence is unknown because they have lived longer than history itself. Therefore, their existence has been buried in the dust of history. You can no longer distinguish between legends and facts in many ancient records. It's possible that a legendary figure in a certain ancient record is still alive, but people just think he is a legend."

Living longer than history itself...

Yi Yun took a deep breath. This sounded incredibly shocking. From a God-King to a God-Lord, it was a leap in the level of life. They were true witnesses to history. The records in the ancient books that had become vague and ethereal due to the passage of time might have been things that a certain God-Lord had personally experienced.

"You asked how many God-Kings there are. Although I don't know the exact number, I can give you a rough idea. There are only a handful of God-Kings who have truly revealed themselves in the entire Guixu—figures like Baiyue Empress. As for those God-Kings who have gone into seclusion, no one can answer that. Even my Nine Li Witch Kingdom doesn't have any God-Kings. The strongest ones are Elder Heishi and my teacher, the High Priest, and their lifespans are only fifty or sixty million years."

"Thank you for informing me Your Highness the Witch Maiden." Yi Yun nodded. The Nine Li Witch Maiden directly told him about the strength of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom, which also showed that she trusted him.
