Alchemy Master

Chapter 876, Inheritor of Will

Translator: Silavin

Ling Tuyai’s strength exceeded Qin Yichen’s expectations.

Rumor had it that Ling Tuyai obtained inheritance from a Saint and supposedly carried Saint Prestige. This was no small matter.

Though Qin Yichen received Demon Subduing Great Saint’s inheritance and guidance, obtaining three Divine Techniques, he had not acquired Saint Prestige.

Allegedly, Saint Prestige required a Saint’s baptism to obtain.

However, Demon Subduing Great Saint, in order to establish the Supreme Tyrant Body foundation for Qin Yichen by drawing upon Sun Spiritual Essence and Moon Spiritual Essence, had expended too much energy, resulting in inability to perform the baptism.

Of course, establishing the Supreme Tyrant Body foundation far surpassed obtaining baptism and Saint Prestige for Qin Yichen.

The Supreme Tyrant Body was extraordinarily difficult to cultivate, requiring Sun Spiritual Essence and Moon Spiritual Essence. Without Demon Subduing Great Saint’s assistance, cultivating the Supreme Tyrant Body would likely take decades at the minimum.

In other words, the Demon Subduing Great Saint saved Qin Yichen decades of time.

As for Saint Prestige?

Admittedly, obtaining Saint Prestige brought tremendous benefits.

Like Ling Tuyai. Originally, his talent might differ little from Zhong Zi’an. But possessing Saint Prestige, he could directly crush Zhong Zi’an, even confront Martial Ancestors!

However, receiving the baptism for Saint Prestige and refining an Open Saint Heart bore some similarity.

After obtaining Saint Prestige, because one could long comprehend Saint Realm power, advancing to the Saint Realm became a hundred times easier than for ordinary people.

This was precisely why Ling Tuyai could advance to the Saint Realm in just several decades.

Only, after advancing to the Saint Realm, bearing Saint Prestige not of one’s own created certain limitations. At that point, the Saint Prestige would no longer assist but become a burden.

However, it should be said that baptism-obtained Saint Prestige was not like refining an Open Saint Heart. If one refined an Open Saint Heart, they would be permanently halting any advancement throughout one’s life at the Saint Realm. However, it was still possible with another’s Saint Prestige, just that it was far more difficult to advance.

In other words, Ling Tuyai’s future achievements most likely would not exceed the Saint from whom he inherited from.

This was perhaps why the Demon Subduing Great Saint had not baptized Qin Yichen.

Teaching Qin Yichen the three Divine Techniques, he wanted Qin Yichen to surpass himself, completing his unrealized ideal… to become a Human Deity!

Demon Subduing Great Saint sought someone to inherit his will, not merely a simple inheritor.

Of course, obtaining this baptism could be counted as a tremendous fortune for Ling Tuyai.

Though Ling Tuyai’s talent was decent, at most he matched Sacred Land Sacred Master Candidate figures. To break through to the Saint Realm, he still required the opportunity to do so.

One must know that various Sacred Lands had many Sacred Master Candidates, yet those breaking through to Saint Realm were extremely few.

Though his future had limitations, for Ling Tuyai, that already sufficed. To reach the Saint Realm was enough to ensure his rise!

Qin Yichen felt no envy toward Ling Tuyai whatsoever.

On the contrary, had Demon Subduing Great Saint offered baptism then, he would have chosen to refuse.

Though Demon Subduing Great Saint was revered as first beneath the Human Deity during that era, that was not what Qin Yichen desired.

He wanted to aim for even greater heights!

Moreover, Humanity needed another Human Deity to emerge!

He knew well how those Clans with Deities disdained other races, essentially viewing them as dogs, as ants.

Humanity has had no Human Deities since ancient times. The humiliation suffered could well be imagined.

Even multiple foreign race invasion incidents had thrown Humanity into complete chaos. Therefore, throughout Human territory, ancient battlefields numbered beyond count.

Those ancient battlefields buried countless Human martyrs.

Precisely through those successive great wars, numerous Masters emerged.

Like Master Lu Ban of old, transforming despair into miracle. He was one person who equaled ten thousand troops.

Like Master Guigu, creating countless Heaven Defying Arrays, burying innumerable foreign invaders.

Yet only one thing could change Humanity’s bullied fate, producing a Human Deity!

Only a Deity could change everything.

Qin Yichen’s goal was breaking through the Saint Realm bottleneck, ascending to become a Human Deity!

However, learning from Mu Yanzhen that Ling Tuyai possessed Saint Prestige with none able to match, he could not help furrowing his brow.

After all, possessing Saint Prestige at this level meant absolute suppressive power!

Zhong Zi’an, Li Yuanba and others’ complete defeat already proved everything.

Even if he had gone then, likely nothing would have changed.

Ling Tuyai obtained a Saint’s inheritance. He should have long been able to break through the Martial Emperor Realm, advancing to the Martial Ancestor Realm. Yet he never advanced, likely waiting for precisely this day to thoroughly crush Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, thereby establishing Sky Cliff Pavilion’s deterrent power!

[Ling Tuyai intends to use Brilliant Sky Sacred Land as his stepping stone!] A trace of worry flashed through Qin Yichen’s eyes.

He vaguely sensed this was merely the beginning.

Because to replace a Sacred Land meant completely crushing that Sacred Land into perpetual decline.

Therefore, Ling Tuyai and Sky Cliff Pavilion’s actions would not cease.

Contrarily, the Saints City competition was merely a fuse.

If his speculation proved correct, Sky Cliff Pavilion would soon take further action!

“I trouble Miss Mu to care for him.” After confirming Li Yuanba faced no mortal danger, Qin Yichen spoke to Mu Yanzhen.

“En.” Mu Yanzhen nodded, gazing at Li Yuanba with complex emotions.

Actually, truthfully speaking, Li Yuanba was the first man to trouble her heart.

If back in the Imperial Dynasties, Li Yuanba had obtained that item and politely presented it to her, she might have thanked him once, remembering this favour but that was merely it.

Who knew this brute would speak such improper words that disturbed her serene heart, making her unable to forget that a man had done such a thing for her.

This time, when Li Yuanba blocked that lethal strike for her, that moment became deeply etched in Mu Yanzhen’s memory.

She could feel that though Li Yuanba was rough, he genuinely loved her. Otherwise, he would not disregard even his own life.

Qin Yichen said no more, sighing softly before walking out.

He felt somewhat troubled. Li Yuanba was not someone who acted recklessly. Though Li Yuanba seemed crude, he was meticulous. Otherwise, he could not have survived until now.

However, since Mu Yanzhen’s appearance, Li Yuanba has undergone some kind of transformation.

Not quite a true transformation. It was actually closer to becoming like a normal man.

Within Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, he constantly sought various experts to challenge, elevating his strength, frequently suffering injuries, nearly dying at Yi Buyan’s hands.

The previous Li Yuanba would never do things without certainty.

Yet he too desperately wanted to raise and get stronger because he too desperately wanted to attract Mu Yanzhen’s attention.

“Ling Tuyai…” Exiting the Southern Brilliant Hall, Qin Yichen gazed toward the distant sky, murmuring.

He was already situated within Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, already bearing Brilliant Sky Sacred Land’s mark. With Sky Cliff Pavilion wanting to replace Brilliant Sky Sacred Land, he could no longer remain uninvolved.
