Touching the Realm of the Divine Lord
Fifty or sixty million years is a very long time. The High Priest lived for fifty or sixty million years through his own abilities, is clearly superior to the Danxin Old Ancestor, who barely lived for ten million years by relying on medicine and sleeping in the Blood Jade. The length of time one can live is itself a symbol of strength.
No one knows how long the old snake actually lived...
Yi Yun suddenly had this thought, but if the old snake was a god-king... just thinking about it made Yi Yun feel strange, and he didn't believe it anyway.
"Why did Young Master Yi suddenly ask about the Baiyue Divine Kingdom?" the Nine Li Witch Maiden asked.
"Because I want to go there," Yi Yun said truthfully.
The Nine Li Witch Maiden was startled upon hearing this, "Young Master Yi is going to the Baiyue Divine Kingdom?"
"Yes."
The Nine Li Witch Maiden wanted to say something, but seeing Yi Yun's resolute attitude, she didn't say anything more.
She simply said, "The Baiyue Divine Kingdom is too vast. Besides the God-King, the Baiyue Empress, the Baiyue Divine Kingdom also has three Grand Preceptors, seven Desolate Kings, and twelve High Ministers. These twenty-two people are all outstanding individuals at the Divine Lord Realm."
"My High Priest once fought against the Yaoguang Imperial Advisor of the Baiyue Divine Kingdom and did not gain any advantage. Elder Black Stone's strength is slightly inferior to that of the High Priest, and he is probably no match for the three National Preceptors of the Baiyue Divine Kingdom."
"Um..."
Yi Yun nodded. Through the description of the Nine Li Witch Maiden, Yi Yun had gained a certain understanding of the strength of the Baiyue Divine Kingdom. In the end, the Bai Yueyin Baiyue Divine Kingdom only had one God-King, Bai Yueyin, and the rest of the powerful figures were all God-Lords.
However, even among gods, they are vastly different.
The weakest are those low-level Divine Lords who cannot fuse with the Divine Lord Seal. These Divine Lords will actually be stuck at this level for their entire lives, and it will be very difficult for them to make any further progress.
As for the Divine Lords who have fused with the Divine Lord Seal, their strength varies greatly depending on the strength and number of seals they have fused with.
People like Lord Shiyu and Lord Qingyang are extraordinary, having fused with Divine Lord Seal nurtured by heaven and earth. As for the Myriad Gods Ancestor, he has fused with more than one Divine Lord Seal, making him even more powerful.
Thinking of this, Yi Yun took a deep breath. If he went to the Baiyue Divine Kingdom, he would be exposed to a wider world and would also witness the power of these divine rulers.
The difference is that, in the past, the Divine Lord was something that Yi Yun could never reach.
Now, Yi Yun has broken through to the Venerable realm. The Venerable realm is only one realm away from the Divine Lord realm. In terms of strength, Yi Yun has actually touched the edge of the Divine Lord realm.
Yi Yun has only cultivated for a little over two hundred years. Geniuses from major sects, such as Cang Wu of Myriad Gods Ridge, are already quite remarkable when they reach the Venerable level around the age of a thousand. However, compared to Yi Yun, they are far inferior.
Furthermore, Yi Yun also consumed the Oblivion River Water, making him even younger than he actually is. He can be called a prodigy unseen in billions of years in Guixu, and as long as he doesn't perish in the future, he has the potential to become a God King.
"Is Young Master Yi determined to leave?" the Nine Li Witch Maiden asked, feeling somewhat reluctant to see such a powerful figure as Yi Yun depart.
"Yes, the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation has been stabilized. I underestimated its difficulty when I was still a Venerable. Now, looking at this array again, I'm afraid I won't have enough time and my cultivation level to support it, and it will still be difficult to complete. Once I am confident enough, I will definitely return to the Nine Li Witch Kingdom to complete this array."
If Yi Yun were to insist on completing the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation now, it would take a very long time. Not to mention the delay this would cause to Yi Yun's cultivation, the key issue is that he is not 100% confident of success.
He planned to travel and improve his strength before completing this formation, which would be much more efficient.
"Very well, Young Master Yi, would you mind accompanying me to see the High Priest?"
The Nine Li Witch Maiden felt somewhat guilty about some of the High Priest's actions, even though she knew that the High Priest was acting in her best interests and for the sake of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom.
"Of course, I also need to say goodbye to Senior Blackstone and the High Priest," Yi Yun nodded.
Although he had no liking for the High Priest, he also didn't have any ill feelings towards him.
He had been trapped in the great formation for so many years, and now that he had emerged, the High Priest would definitely want to see him.
The palace of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom was utterly silent, and the High Priest resided in a towering sacrificial tower deep within the palace.
This sacrificial tower has nine stories and nine sides, covered with ancient runes, and exudes a chilling and majestic aura.
Yi Yun even sensed that this sacrificial tower was probably more than what was visible on the ground; there was likely a vast space and powerful formations beneath the tower.
The Nine Li Witch Kingdom was already mysterious, and this place, being the imperial palace, was no exception; it's no wonder that it was full of hidden secrets.
"Young Master Yi, please come in." As soon as they arrived in front of the sacrificial tower, an aged voice came from inside the tower.
Besides the High Priest, there were many other people in the main hall of the tower, who had all rushed here after hearing the news.
Among these people, Yi Yun saw an old acquaintance Old Man Black Stone.
As for the rest of the people, although they were unfamiliar faces, their presence here indicated that they held a high status in the Nine Li Witch Kingdom.
Upon seeing Yi Yun, several of them showed slight changes in expression. They had never met Yi Yun before, only heard about what he had done, and were surprised to find that Yi Yun so young.
At this moment, the High Priest spoke up, "Young friend Yi Yun, on behalf of the Nine Li Witch Kingdom, I would like to express my gratitude to you for this matter."
Yi Yun shook his head and said, "The loss of control of the Medicine Nurturing Great Formation was originally caused by my replacement of the fire seed. My intervention this time was merely to prevent further damage to the formation; the merits and demerits cancel each other out."
Hearing that Yi Yun wasn't boastful about his achievements, the High Priest smiled and said, "Young friend Yi Yun is too modest. Although I'm an amateur in alchemy, I can see that this Medicine Nurturing Great Formation has undergone a transformation compared to the past. It's one step closer to completion. I don't have any important business to discuss with you today, but I do have a few things I'd like to give Yi Yun."
As the High Priest spoke, he gently waved his hand, and behind High Priest, a Maidservant presented a tray containing a Space Ring.
Yi Yun pondered for a moment, then probed his senses into the ring. Inside, he found a small jar of black liquid, its depths unfathomable, as if it led to another world.
Yi Yun recognized the black liquid at a glance as the Oblivion River Water. The High Priest had given him so much of Oblivion River Water again!
Yi Yun was naturally extremely tempted by the Oblivion River Water.
Besides the Oblivion River Water, Yi Yun also saw a small cave in his Space Ring. He probed into it with his senses and discovered that it was actually a medicinal garden.
Portable Medicinal Herb Garden?
Yi Yun's heart stirred. For alchemists, many medicinal herbs are inconvenient to cultivate and store. If they had a portable herb garden, that would be ideal.
However, ordinary portable cave dwellings can hardly guarantee that the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi within them is suitable for the growth of spiritual herbs. They need to be carefully regulated with arrays. What can do all this is a portable herb garden.
